I don't want to sound like too much of an evangelist, because I'm not amazingly skilled myself, but when I saw the heading "cheat codes" I immediately thought "lifting weights."
If you're interested in looking (conventionally) good, feeling well, and making progress in physical performance, and if you don't have any physical problems that make it impossible, free weights are sort of the "secret weapon" that most people aren't using. Quite a few people who can't lose weight (or fat) with cardio, can once they try weights (this is true of me, on a small scale.) The added advantage is that you save time. (>8 mile runs may be pleasant on occasion, but they sure do take a while.)
That's fascinating. Do you have any links to more information that you would recommend?
The Starting Strength wiki.. Basic how-to instructions and a little explanation of why it's a good idea.
Give that a couple of months then move up to something fun. (If you have a masochistic streak.)
