Where on the internet can I find workout regimens for a beginner in weight lifting? I want to lose my gut, and work on my cardio because I recently quit smoking. I plan on joining a gym w/ bikes, treadmills, and plenty of weight lifting equipment.

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.
Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it!

check with the club you are joining they will help you cross train. work at your own pace though or you will burn out! start walking first treadmill to try and regain lung straight because of the smoking, also join a club that has a steam sauna, after you work out use it to loosen the junk in your lungs, good luck
