Here it goes:
No.1 If you are intent in burning fat you should make sure that your body is not putting more fat in the place of the one you burn.
No.2 The part of your nutrition that MOST contribute to your body fat are the simple carbs (SODAS, cookies, donuts, pizza, white breads, pasta, French fries etc..). The reason being that they metabolize so fast that the only thing the body can do with the resulting energy is to store it, guess how?
In the form of FAT. Yes, fat is the energy storage mechanism of the body, same way the batery is for an electric car.
If you wanted to empty a batery what would you do? Make sure to use anything that requires its energy, and make sure you don't recharge it, right? Same applies to your body.
No.3 To spend fat, eat less simple carbs, because the carbs are used first, only after that the body will use the stored fat, that is the priority everyone has built in.
No.4 To burn the fat, exercise in moderate speed (such as a fast walk, or slow jog, biking, whichever you like best). Start with 10 min per day, if you are not used to doing it, then grow slowly to about 30 to 40 min a day, if you have the time.
No.5 Try to build some muscle, because muscles spend energy, even while you sleep (great isn't it?). You can do this at home with push ups, crunchs, sit ups, squats etc...About 45 min, 3 to 4 times a week. Rest the muscles you use until they are not painful any more. If they are still painful after a couple of days it means you are overdoing it.
No. 5 Eat more protein (chicken, fish, meat, eggs), and more complex carbs (vegetables, grains, whole wheat bread) in several small meals a day, to avoid being hungry and going after simple carbs. DON'T forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water every day, that helps too.
Good luck, GO FOR IT

A great routine you can do at home and needs no equipment is the "deck of cards" For this you need a deck of cards, it's a simple way of training but you're guaranteed a different workout everytime.
All you have to do is to assign an exercise to either each suit or colour of cards then shuffle the deck and get started. Simply pick the top card off the pack, the colour or suit corresponds to the exercise and the value of the card corresponds to the number of repetitions of that exercise. It is optional to keep the joker in the pack (usually assigned a value of 20), all kings/queens/jokers are given a value of 10, the ace is 1.
If you keep the jokers in the pack it will be 105 repertitions of each exercise if you assign a suit to each exercise, or 210 if you assign a colour to each exercise.
Here are two examples of workouts :
A)
Black : Press ups
Red : Squats
B)
Hearts : Jumping Jacks
Diamonds : Squats
Spades : Press ups
Clubs : Crunchies

Chase a dog or kids (yours or a friends)... they love it and its loads of fun! do it for about 20 mins a day to burn fat!
Climb trees, or local rocks or walls also lots of fun and good for building the muscles.
Do heavy Gardening for about 60 mins a day, you could even get someone to pay you to do it! This will also build mucles and burn fat.
On the subject of other people paying you to get slimmer, wash peoples cars vigorously for 60 mins a day or more to also lose loads of calories.
The list is pretty endless!

Shut your door, turn on the radio, pump up the volume, and DANCE like crazy. Maybe it feels stupid at first but it works. I like to wear a belly shirt so that i can see my muscles (or fat) and get motivated to keep going either way. If you've seen any belly dancing or hip hop or breakdancing or capoeira you can try to do the moves. It really works out a lot of your body and if you like dancing it's so much fun!
If you like sports better you can play basketball or soccer or something at a club.

1. 4-6 hours per week
2. 45-90 min each day you exercise
3. do aerobic exercise (20-40 min) every day you exercise
4. work abdominals every day you exercise (between sets makes it easy)
5. do chest and triceps exercises on one day
6. do back and biceps exercises on a different day
7. do legs and shoulder exercises on a different day
8. do your exercises in sets (i.e. 3 times with 6-12 repetitions each)
9. keep a record of what you do to measure progress.
10. when your progress stalls (called "plateau"), switch up your routine.
