@blisser99, if you are just starting out, then I would say that walking is your new best friend. It conditions your whole body, works on your stamina, you can do it for as long as you like and as hard as you like. It burns more calories than you would expect. If you hadn't worked out in a while, it is a great way to check what's your current fit level and work your way up from there.

Then you have video workouts. You can find several workouts for beginners in youtube (I personally recommend Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred and FitnessBlenders workouts, but there are lots of options)

Once you know how fit you are (or unfit, as it was in my case), you'll have a better picture of where to go to and what to do.

Starting is hard, but it's the most important step. Don't be discouraged, set realistic goals and you'll do just fine!
