    You want to make sure to work all of the different muscles and muscle groups, not overwork one and neglect another. You should try to look up some free weight workouts online or in some workout books, like Body for LIfe or some place like that. Also, every 6-8 weeks you would want to change up your weight workouts and do different weight training exercises. Hope this helps you.

    keep it simple. Concentrate on major muscle groups. Six fat burner excercises are; Squats for thighs and lower back, Shoulder press, Bench press for chest, Lat pull down for upper back, Bent over row for back, deadlift for back. Those cover the major groups and are all you really need. These exercises will work just about all the big muscles and these muscles are the ones that will use up the most oxygen and therefore raise your metabolism and burn more calories. Do plenty of cardio and you wont get extra big either
