As other people have suggested, I would start with body weight exercises, and then get some dumbbells or kettlebells to increase the weight when you are ready.0

Yes, start with body weight exercises. Look at your Craigslist or whatever classifieds for free weights people don't want0

Find someone selling Insanity on Craigslist for like $20. It's a great program. You will get toned and ripped if you do the whole program. After 2 weeks I saw a noticeable difference in my chest and arms!0

I would say HIIT is a good option because it offers quick results and you don't need a lot of equipment.0

Pick up heavy stuff and put them down. Rinse. Repeat. All you need to do is to start off with a low enough weight and pick up progressively heavier things.
That was going to be my advice as well. Do it like the good ole' days. The bright side is if you're lifting food or Home Depot-like products, you can use them later. You can't eat dumbells.0 -

Yes to the above poster-up a few
Push ups and burpees. Start there.0 -
I use the Body Gym by Marie Osmond and it has changed my body! It is a resistance band tool and can be done on different levels as you get stronger. You can start sitting down or standing. It is WONDERFUL and I've gotten amazing results in very little time, Good Luck!0
