Hey /fit/

What exercises can I do in my own house that will help me get fit? Normally I would go outside back down in NSW where it was cold and miserable like Britain, but I'm staying in QLD for a few days and it's FUCKING HOT and humid, so I'm staying in with the comfort of my air-conditioner.

The guys on /k/ recommended burpees, which seem to be a pretty good option.

Two questions:
1: Will most exercises done in the home with no equipment (other than a weight, I'm sure I can find something) let me loose weight or do I really just end up turning it into muscle (I hear it's a bunch of crap)
2: Is it true if you sweat more, you'll loose more weight (if so, fuck the heat outside, I'm going for a run)

YES. This is true, but it's water weight so once you go back inside and replenish yourself it's all back baby.

That will build muscle. Strength training doesn't lose weight, it builds muscle. It damages the muscle cells, which then build back up larger. To lose weight you need to either a) let your muscles atrophy (don't do that) or b) "burn" fat.

You want to do b.

this is somewhat shady. high intensity exercise increases your metabolism for a longer period of time than moderate exercise. so high intensity weight lifting or body-weight exercises can help you lose weight faster than moderate cardio
