The way to lose weight is HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

Basically as the name states.. you can do it running, biking, swimming, back flipping, ect. Just do a normal 2-4 minute warmup then 30 seconds 60% max speed 30 seconds 90% 30 60% 30 90% ect. Usually starting you want to do about 8 sets of that with a 2-4 minute cool down.. eventually try to work up to 15 sets of 60/90% with a final 1-2 minute 100% all out until you puke sprint.
