It depends on what "overtake" means. If you want to be not-fat, eat less.
If you want to get in shape, exercise.
They're not the same thing.

A very easy program is Stronglifts 5x5 + some cardio

Agree with this. Although it's more than 30 minutes, it's well worth it.

Best thing first is fix your diet.

This is true. One cannot out-exercise a bad diet.

Other than too much Diet Coke, diet is controllable. First 25 lbs have come off

I would add low pace cardio (zone 2 HR) at an incline for 3miles 2-3x a week.

Agree. Diet trumps all in weight gain/loss.

My guess is most Americans would trade a long life for weight loss.

A couple of years ago, I started lifting weights

For many years, I've been a shockingly fit but fairly fat guy

I guess it all comes down to how a person defines fit.

The three best upper body lifts are bench, lat pulls, and shoulder press.

start with walking and extremely light weights on any lifts

I’ve been walking approx 40 mins per night, 5 nights per week

yes, I'm sure you would, but we're talking about fitness routines now

Depends on what you want to do? Build muscle? Build endurance? Lose weight? Just be more active?

More active, build up some strength and endurance

Start slow. Injury will set you back. You're older now and your body won't recover as quickly as you remember.

this is really terrible fitness advice. You're recommending primarily isolation
Digital Gangsta
Apr 24, 4:45pm
For a beginner? If you want snatches, clean and jerks, deadlifts

doesn't matter the experience level, you just go ligther

Well, I know about motivation, so those simple, isolated lifts give

Squats and deadlifts are hard to do correctly.

Nah, plenty of youtube videos show how to do them. No spotter nor belt needed.

Squats but with the caveat that you dial in your flexibility and form to do them properly first
