Reply With QuoteI would recommend that you do full body work-out 3 days per week, 2-3 sets per exercise (max), focus on compound movements, stay in the 10-12 rep range, 1 exercise for small muscle groups like biceps & triceps, and 2 exercises for larger muscle groups like legs. Do this for a couple of months until you build some strength, coordination, flexability, etc.

some good full body exercises would be:
Swiss ball squats (if you havent done squats before i suggest starting with them)
Pushups
Wide Grip Chins
Dips
Military Press
Then to get more Specific if you have time:
DB Laterals= mid delts
Uright Rows= traps and mid/front delts
DB Bicep Curls= biceps
DB Kickbacks= triceps
Lat Pulldowns= lats/back
Calf Raises= calves
Leg Extensions= Quads
Leg Curls= Hams
Military Press= shoulders
Reverse Pec Dec= rear delts/shoulders
BB Bench Press= chest
Cable Crossovers= chest
Bent Over One Arm DB Rows= mid back

Just so you don't get confused my advice was to use compound exercises.

like bench press, deads, and squats
Chuck Norris once lost his keys and couldn't remember where he put them. So he tortured himself for half an hour until he gave up their location.
