I do three 20-minute workouts a week, each consisting of two upper body and two lower body exercises, with four sets of 12 reps each, using anywhere from 6 to 10 lb. weights, depending on the muscle group. It's quite aerobic, actually -- although aerobic exercise has been oversold as the road to weight loss. Not to say there's not a place for step or running or brisk walking, but if you really want to lose weight, lift weights.
