    provided you are eating right, if you do nothing else, do cardio. try walking about 30 minutes a day. it also wouldn't hurt to do some weight lifting, but keep in mind that if your goal is to lose pounds, building muscle will make you heavier in the first few weeks. if you just want to lose fat, then you should do the cardio and weight training.

    it's okay to to cardio every day (but be sensible - running 5 miles every day will wear on your knees). you should work each muscle group only every other day (for example, legs one day, arms the next day, to let them rest), with the exception of your core muscles (abs and lower back) which can be exercised every day.

    Aerobic exercise, such as running, for a minimum of three times per week @ a minimum of 20 minutes each time.
