That.

Warm ups are always more effective if your hitting the areas that are going to be worked

Thinking of starting a serious program to burn some fat (quite a lot of it), gaining muscle shouldn't be a problem since I have muscular arms and shoulders already. I just wondered if anyone had an idea of how much cardio I should be doing compared to weights. I am a member of my local gym which has quite a lot of equipment and have some dumbbells at home. Cheers.

What shoes do you guys wear?

I wear Nike Free Run+, couldn't recommend a better pair, it's my first running shoe and very comfortable.

If you have a lot of fat to burn, I'd definitely recommend investing into a heart rate monitor which tells you you're intensity levels, and doing interval cardio for quite efficient fat burning and quick endurance build up. Do these on off days where you're only doing cardio, for anywhere in between 30-60 minutes. Here's an article on interval training.

I'm sure you're aware, but you're diet will need to be in check as well.

Cheers man, I may invest in one! Need to make sure I'm doing enough work.

I used to be in pretty good shape but I've really let myself go in the past year. I used to do interval training on the treadmill but I probably wasn't doing it the right intensity for it to really benefit me. I'm heading to the gym tomorrow so I'll try that workout out.

Haha, I know! My diet isn't too bad. I mean, I eat pretty good food but just too much of it (No fizzy drinks or crisps, rarely have chocolate and I always get my five fruit and veg a day). Bread is probably my biggest vice, eat far too much of it.
