If you just want to look good then this might help but no amount of weight training will give you the stamina that good old running will do.

I hate runnning and running because it just seems too boring to me. I have been an athlete all my life so I am used to a fast paced, busy type of workout. That's why I am so relieved to hear a professional say that the best workout is NOT running for long periods of time, but rather doing aggressive weight training in shorter spurts. I used to do that with my teams in high school when we had strength training days, it's all about reps and not resting between the reps. I just need some more ideas on what exercises will work the various core parts of my body, from head to toe, suggestions??? I am working on getting a set regimen down for my day to day workout. Any engaging exercvise advice is welcome! Awesome! I hate runnning and running because it just seems too boring to me.

It's true that weight training your entire body is awesome for sculpting your body and shedding unwanted fat. A great book on weight training is The 6 Week Workout Program. It's true that interval training is more effective than staying at one pace. Some of the myths are that after 20 minutes your body starts burning muscle. This is a myth that some Personal Trainers believe, but it is not physiologically possible unless the cardio is very, very intense. Also physics destroys the myth that your body will burn less calories over time running 2 miles (or whatever the mode of exercise) unless you lose weight or improve the biomechanics of the exercise. The same amount of work will be done which will result in the same amount of energy being used. Overall great strategy to lose weight, but definitely some myths in there.
