New ideas for strength training

If muscle burns more than fat, I should work on making more muscle!
I am 51, 15-20 pounds over weight. I have not worked out regularly, therefore, I do not have a lot of muscle.
What exercises, at home without hurting myself as a beginner, would you suggest for me to create more muscle?
Thanks-

I highly recommend checking out http://www.fitnessblender.com/ this site is run by a couple, both fitness trainers, and they have 100's of videos on their web site all for FREE. I use them 6 days a week and I just LOVE them, their videos are a huge blessing in my life right now... you can choose videos with a 1 or 2 level of difficulty to start in the search option on their homepage, look for the green button "find a workout". They also have more videos that help answer all those questions about strength training, check the menu section for that. I hope this info helps.0
