In your opinion what is/has been the most effective gym routine? Either for you or someone you know?

For example...
15 minutes on the cycle
15 on elliptical
30 on Treadmill

What were your results? Did you lose weight quicker?

Any suggestions would help. I'm looking for new routines so I can try and find one that suits me best!

Thanks!

The "gym routine" which works best for me is the circuit style training. I do a warm up on the elliptical but you can opt for the treadmill or cycle. It's ok to vary your choice of warm up.
Once warm up is complete (usually 10-15 minutes) I begin using a machine that works upper body, completing one set. Next I go to one that works lower body, completing one set. I continue this routine til I have completed three sets of each exercise. It keeps things moving and adds a little variety to training.
Finish things off with a mile or two on the cycle and you're good to go! This is a great routine to keep 3 times a week. It has helped me feel more energetic and definitely more fit!

If you're looking to lose weight your body needs to have a caloric deficit by either consuming less calories or burning more calories, or both.

My best recommendation would be to gain muscle. By gaining muscle you burn calories, and the more muscle you have the more your calories your metabolism uses each day, creating that caloric deficit (as long as you eat healthy). This doesn't mean you need huge muscles.

As far as eating is concerned you need to eat as much whole foods as you can, ideally 90% of your food intake. Whole foods being chicken, turkey, eggs, nuts, fruit (berries), vegetables, etc. Nothing processed.

Check out http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beginner-strength-training-program/. This is a great initial training program that will get you on track.
