What Are Some Weight Loss Exercises For A Busy Schedule?

My diet is actually quite healthy, but the main reason I don’t lose weight is because I don’t exersize. If it were as easy as going to a gym, I would, but I feel like I never have time between work, school, and all my other activities I’m responsible for. The only resources I have at home are a treadmill (I’ve been told that walking isn’t that great for weightloss), some weights that came with the treadmill, and the game DDR… which I’m not very good at, but I guess it’s still a workout.
What specific exercises can I do at home, without going to the gym, that’ll take me a half hour to an hour each day? I’ve read up on other Yahoo! answers that gave long, detailed strategies about counting calories from dawn to dusk and things like that, but I’m not ready to drastically change my daily routine. For now, I’m just asking for a simple answer, like saying I need to do sit-ups or something. If someone can suggest something simple, I swear on my honor to do it every day.

    15-20 minutes cardio (preferably jogging or running, 10-15 minutes sit-ups, push-ups and lunges. Really work those muscles when you do those exercises to really blast fat. And no breaks when you do this work-out!

    Top exercise for weight loss
    There is no doubt that you can lose weight without exercise. But with exercising you can speed up the process of weight loss. Exercise mainly help you lose weight in the following ways:
    * Burn more calories while exercising
    * If you exercise for longer hours, you will be able to burn calories at an high rate for an extended period after you have completed your weight loss session.
    * If the exercise places a high enough load on your muscles, they will increase in size, and burn more Calories even when your body is at rest.
    This method is an important aspect of weight loss as it makes you to burn more calories at all tiles. Muscle tissue is more “metabolically active” than body fat. With more muscle and less fat, your metabolic rate is naturally higher.
    Muscular variation occurs most readily when the load placed on a muscle exceeds about 60% of its maximum contractile strength. This makes weight training one of your best exercise choices, and the most direct path to a sleeker, shapelier body.

    Weight loss exercises call for aerobic exercise. That means sweat!
    Running, stair climber, bike or something like that.
