Ok, so I'll start out saying I've read a few stickies and other threads here for idea, but The information is very quickly overwhelming and/or confusing to me.

I'm a 23yo guy, 188cm tall and I weigh 95KG. I have a gut and I want to get rid of the bastard, but I never seem to be able to.

At the moment the way I eat has me on a daily average of 1800 calories intake. I eat mostly fruits yogurts, vegetables and chicken. I also eat a lot of canned soups and baked beans sort of thing.

I try to do a 10km walk every day, and include some running in that (I suck at running, I flake out after about 200meters)

I can't really afford to go to a gym, and all this talk of lunges and stuff has me confused.

I like the idea of this strength training as opposed to just cardio, but I have no idea where to begin.

Can anybody help put me on the right track?
 
Running is not the best option for you since you have gut in your leg. Don’t fret. There are others cardio exercise you may consider:

• Bicycling: Whether you're outdoors or indoors, cycling is an excellent cardio workout. By using the power of your legs, you increase endurance while burning lots of calories, anywhere from 250-500 in 30 minutes, depending on how fast you go and how high your resistance is.

• Elliptical trainer: The elliptical trainer is also a good choice for runners looking for a break from pounding the pavement. A 145-lb person burns about 300 calories in 30 minutes.

• Swimming: Swimming is another great choice because, like cross-country skiing, it's a full body exercise. The more body parts you involve in your workout, the more calories you'll burn. Spend 30 minutes doing the breastroke and you'll burn almost 400 calories.

Keep in mind, intense exercise is also essential when it comes to lose weight. Doing cardio and strength during the same workout not only helps you burn more calories, but doing cardio first actually maximizes the calorie expenditure of your workout overall, since cardio typically burns more calories than strength training.
