Hey check out stronglifts.com or starting strength (http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/The_Starting_Strength_Novice/Beginner_Programs)

there's also new rules of lifting for women (a book)

those programs are good for beginners because they emphasize compound exercises that work multiple muscles at once so you get more bang for your lifting buck
