    Hi all!
    I'm slowly being persuaded that lifting weights is the way to go for fat loss/general awesomeness. My question is how often should you lift a week for effectiveness? Going to the gym is a bit of a logistical nightmare for me and I can get in cardio at home.

    If it is all new to you, you might start a few weeks of circuit training on machines doing twice a week and working on form as well understanding what exercises work what. Then start working into 3 times a week with more weight and more sets. Read up on some of the websites for workout routines and such.

    Don't burn yourself out too quick!
