Take a look at GordyR’s Beginners Guide to Bodybuilding.

Covers a lot about both gaining muscle loosing fat

Never used a gym but a while back bought some 10kg (each) dumbells from lidl and the differance its making to me for about 15mins every other day has suprised me.
The biggest suprise (apart from how quick my upper body has developed) is that my bear gut is virtualy gone, maybe this is the new muscle burning more calories?
been using the animated exercises on this page

I have access to the university gym but tbh i cant be bothered to walk across campus, i only have a pair of dumbbells and in one year i would say i have increased my strength ten fold and gained 1.5 stone

Good stuff!

It must be a real chore walking around Florida...

Stick to the cardio to lose the weight and then pack on the muscle with weights.

Although don't drop weights completely
