I started working out seriously about a month ago and it's easily one of the best decisions I've made in my life. The biggest turn-off, previously, was that I thought I had to spend hours at the gym every couple of days to see results. In fact, after doing some reading and getting advice from other men in very good shape is that it's actually not that time-consuming at all and you can get a body that is better than 99% of all other men with as little as 30-40 minutes, twice a week. Right now I'm doing 1 hour 3 times a week, but that's because i waste a lot of time between sets. At this point if even an extremely lazy person like me can work it into their routine there's no reason, other than serious physical illness, as to why any man shouldn't work out.
And I've seen some of your pictures on facebook, a lot of you could use some time on the squat rack. Especially if you're fat, lots of muscle = lots of calories being burned passively, which makes it easier to lose weight. You still need to fix your diet, but I've found that increasing muscle to fat ratio ends up with my body demanding more protein in lieu of the sugar my fat cells previously demanded, so it even makes eating better easier for you.
Also, I recommend 5g (a teaspoon) of Creatine once a day when you do start working out. It's a well researched supplement that aids in building muscles (and improves concentration as a side-effect) with no bad side effects.
You don't even have to do cardio, but if you do 15 minutes of alternating between maximum intensity and a low pace is enough. too much cardio is detrimental, actually.
