Lose a bit of weight initially. Then add some tome to upper body after.
I don't need much work but need to step up now it will be unrecoverable.
Dunno how much weight you want to shift, but cardio is the best way of burning calories. As the weather's improving, maybe run or cycle to the gym so you get some cardio before you hit the weights.

My back is done in after my workouts this week.
I'm going to be crippled by the age of 30.

It's worth remembering that six packs generally appear not when you've got lots of stomach muscles but when you've got little body fat.
It's easy to go all out on the weights and ignoring things like diet and cardio.
To put it into perspective. I've just done an hour on the bike and have burnt around 1,000 calories. It'd probably take 4 hours of weights to do that.

Have problems with just running mate. Feels weird and awkward to me. I need to be chasing a ball or something or just feel like a nobhead.
Treadmills and bikes are ok.
Ideally looking to shift a stone, two at a push bit there's no rush really.

No, I am. I don't lift. That's next. I do a little bit of weights, about 40 odd. As I said, I don't lift yet..

Fair enough mate. I'm about 84 but quite squat sadly. How tall are you?
Aye, fair enough. Needs to be something you enjoy. Don't much care for running either.
To put it into perspective though. To lose 1lb of fat you need to burn around 2-3,000 calories more than you eat.
Alot of fad diets see you losing water etc. which is why it's hard to sustain things.
As I'm a shade over 57kg, I can confirm that cycling does the trick for keeping slim

Cool. So would your initial advice be treadmills and bikes to get rid of the initial weight, then weights afterwards?

That's the same as me, just. Sound a healthy weight tbh mate given your height. I need to do more cardio in the week I think.
