I use an elliptical and dumbbells, but that costs significant money. My wife liked P90X until she developed Guillain-Barre's syndrome and is limited in her exercise. I found a website the other day with 50 do at home exercises just using your body weight.

Half the exercises are ho-hum, but half are real killers. The only cost is your time and energy and if you can work up to doing them all you could have competed with Bruce Lee.

Google stronglifts. It is a 5 by 5 weight lifting program (five different compound movements, five sets of each, five receptions for each set). This program is a full body strength building program. Mixed with moderate cardio (e.g., walking, light biking) and you’ll have all you need.

Dianne, a good first step is to define your budget or available equipment. There are reasonable programs utilizing bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells, or barbells (stronglifts).

A key question when you find something you like--what's next? To make progress, you generally have to keep increasing the intensity. Weights make that easy!

This. You can also find it on YouTube. While you're on YouTube check out Be Fit, they have a lot of workout videos, including Jillian Michaels.

In addition to one of the aforementioned cardio options, you might try yoga. I just started, and it is a killer full body strength workout, and increases flexibility. There are a plethora of videos and apps to guide one thorough it.
