What would you suggest is a good excercise that burns fat quickly where
you don't have to run? I actually want to know what people think is
the best exercise to do that? I have a bike, but I don't really like
it that much! Any suggestions would be great!!! :-)

See the thread on eliptical trainers.

Similar to an eliptical, but more "pansie-ish".

To put it another way. Imagine an orkplace where you were the only non
executive: Make them all CEO. Give them all at least one Masters degree
and/or a PhD, and the ego trip that comes with that. Now double it.
That's education. --GB, asr

If you got a real bike, try sprinting intervals up hills. If you have an
aerobics step with added risers, do stepping while wearing a substantial
back pack rig and use one or more 25# weights and dumbells for your arms.
You can do those at home watching TV, etc. That'll use energy. Lance
Armstrong would do those sorts of exercise for his muscular endurance.

I'm going to die rather sooner than I'd like. I tried to protect my
neighbours from crime, and became the victim of it. Complications in
hospital following this resulted in a serious illness. I now need a bone
marrow transplant. Many people around the world are waiting for a marrow
transplant, too. Please volunteer to be a marrow donor:

Sorry, but I HATE elipticals.
To me, elipticals are just wimpy,
and they make you bounce too much. :-P

I have had pretty good success with high volume weight training
exercises like Tabata Front Squats:

http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=490160

Or multiple sets of "The Bear."

http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=459657

The bad news is that this type of weight training is painful. The
first time I did Tabata Front Squats I was nauseous for an hour, and
my legs hurt for a week.

Tabata thrusters, from the same article, I believe. Gets the arms into it,
and forces you to come up with enough pop to get the weight overhead.

They're not so bad, really. OK, they are so bad, but you get hardened to
them. By my third or fourth session I was only in dire pain for 10 minutes
or so, and didn't hardly want to die at all.

Thanks for this link, I'd missed it. Gotta start following t-nation I guess.

But what is with that [censored]-poor rack position in the photos?

Why is that? I tried some Tabata KB swings, my legs have been killing me.
Tried playing soccer, I was dragging my legs around, felt like my quads were
cramping up, more than a week later I still feel it in my legs when I change
position.
