This article doesn't mention routine at all, and the only focus is on weight loss. This is extremely short sighted as a novice sticking to a routine of increasingly heavy compound lifts 2-3 times a week (~120-180 minutes) can expect improvements in body composition and coordination that will be a much bigger improvement in overall physical ability than just losing some arbitrary amount of weight. Even if weight loss is the end goal, having a solid foundation will help immensely.
