You work every muscle, starting out at a very low weight, and just do 3 sets of 12 reps or so until you build up tolerance, and you won't get bulky. But working your muscle like that burns fat more than twice as long as cardio. After you do weights, you can leave the gym and for hours, your muscles are still burning fat, so in the long run it's better for you. But before doing weights, you should walk for 15-20 minutes to get your heart rate up so it's in the position to start burning. Do that every other day, and on the off days, do cardio, that's the best system for you! You don’t do weights like guys who want big muscles do weights.

Cardio will burn the calories in the short term, but building muscle will increase your metobolic rate to burn more calories over a period of time. I'd just do your typical cardio workout but include the use of small weigths to reduce exercise time while covering both aspects. If you are "fat" you need to take extra care not to damage your joints so take it easy. You might be better just cutting down the calories and walking/swimming for exercise until you achieve a more moderate weight. Do both.

If your health is very poor you should consult with a doctor before starting any workout. then build your workout up slowly.

Cardio slims down the fat, while weights tone the muscles. Pairing the two creates a healthy and balanced workout. Spend 30 minutes doing cardio, anout 20 lifting weights, and then another 10 minutes of light cardio to cool down. Pairing the two is best. Cardio slims down the fat, while weights tone the muscles.

Cardio will build up your cardio respiratory endurance and increase your immune system and weights will strengthen your fat joints simoultaneously gaining muscle mass which will rapidly burn calories. Seriously do both but with weights start at a lower weight with lots of reps. Did you consider changing your diet? BOTH, you need help if you say you are fat.

Just be sure to keep your heart rate at the target rate. You should also definitely do light weights. Be sure to mix your routine up so your body doesn't get used to the same old thing. Gaining muscle tone will help you burn more fat. At first you may not see results but stick to it and you will see a change. And remember, muscle weighs more than fat so don't go stepping on that scale everyday. Cardio is great for losing weight. Just be sure to keep your heart rate at the target rate.
