exercises that maximise fat burning

Clearly all cardio related activities help however, is it most efficient to run/walk/lift weights/cycle??? Also, I understand that diet is a massive factor (perhaps bigger than the exercise component) however, diet only contributes to you not taking in more calories than you lose - you still need to find an exercise which burns the calories....I would very much like to know which exercise is best for this...

If I said running was the best calorie burner and you absolutely hate running - are you going to stick with it? probably not. Any cardio will burn calories. I believe in varying the type of cardio, the intensity, the duration and the equipment. It will keep you from getting burnt out, from repetitive stress injuries and from plateauing. There are som excellent sticky posts about cardio, also. be sure to check the tops of the forums. -------------- A man of sense is never discouraged by difficulties; he redoubles his industry and his diligence, he perseveres and infallibly prevails at last.
