Crossfit

I started this a few weeks ago and already I'm seeing benefits in terms of strength and power. For more weight loss I recommend some interval cardio or similar each day in addition to the workout of the day. They work on a 3 days on 1 off split.

The site can explain the principles far better than me though.

I began crossfit in October of 2007. I was a paramedic/ rescue tech and hurt my back. I gained a lot of weight because I could no longer run distances great than 3 miles. Before my injury I ran 5-8 miles per day.

To date, I have lost 36lbs using crossfit/rossboxing, dropped 6% body fat, and raised my hdl from 48 to 67. And I feel more functionally fit.

I also use HIIT/tabata cardio, which crossfit utilizes. So, keep on using CF. Just stay hydrated and go at your own pace.
