Hey /fit/ this is my first vosit to this board, but I'm despaired.

I am overweight (180 lbs on 1.87 metres) and want to loose weight.

I know that this can only be done through training, but Iam kind of lazy so here is my question:

Which training makes me loose health while having fun?

Why did you mix lbs with meters? You're confusing both sides of the pond with this bullshit.

Bump, i am also fat and can't decide how to loose weight.
Is swimming of use ?
>> ESH !Oj4wGhYfsE
Unfortunately, losing weight won't be fun. You can't have it both ways, because anything worth having is worth working for.

With that said, HIIT and lift weights. HIIT is basically interval sprinting. There's probably programs made up, just google "HIIT routine" or something of that nature.

Swimming isn't of any use, but it is fun and refreshing after you're done busting your ass on the track and in the gym.

Swimming isn't of any use? It's one of the best cardio workouts there is.

Eh, it's no match for HIIT, is all. Like I said, I'd swim for a bit after I got done lifting/sprinting just for refreshment purposes.

lolwut, 1kg = just over 2.2lbs. google much?

As for OP - if you want it to be fun, do lots of sports. Something like soccer/basketball/ball hockey is almost a HIIT workout in itself, given the amount of jogging/sprinting/walking you'll do in a game, and has been shown to be more effective than just straight up cardio. Swimming is also a pretty good exercise, if that's your bag. If this is the first time you're starting to do any sort of real activity, even walking will help. For strength training, do MMA or bodyweight stuff to start.

That's about as 'fun' as it could possibly be, I think, but if you're serious about shaping up then change the attitude. You can't be lazy and see good results. Make sure you're eating properly as well. Follow a food guide to make sure you're eating the right amounts of the right stuff.

Other things to keep in mind, though - don't make the mistake of cutting down food while upping exercise to lose weight, either. That actually makes your body more likely to retain energy, since it can't get enough for optimal performance. Keep hydrated too - water is required to break down fat, and being dehydrated is just bad.

Actually, it'd be a little less than 90. 1lb ~= 0.45kg and 1kg ~= 2.2lbs

Not OP here, but is an exercise bike as efficient as HIIT?

And if so, would you suggest low resistance and fast pedalling, or high resistance and slower pedalling?

Depends what you're doing on the bike. HIIT workouts are possible on a bike, and I've done them from time to time when I didn't feel like going outside. Personally, my high intensity periods were fast pedaling at high resistance, followed by slower pedaling at less resistance. It kills, but in a good way.

Experiment a bit and see what works for you. Or google a training program and follow that. Worst that can happen is your program isn't maximizing the possible benefit - but you'll still be getting into shape.

Yeah, I'm kind of restricted to my bike because:
- It's piss-cold outside
- I have a weak knee
- I'm too lazy to go out and jog/run
