    Are you looking to workout at home or at a gym?

    If at home, there are some great body weight exercises/programs that you can follow to build your strength. You are Your Own Gym (I think) is one. Nia Shanks also has a body weight only program. I'm sure you can find both just by googling.

    If you are planning on utilizing a gym, I highly recommend Startring Strength or Strong Lifts as programs to beginner strength building/training.

    If you are planning to workout at home check out Nerd Fitness, their Beginner body weight work out is fairly simple/straight forward for someone just starting out and you dont need to buy any equipment!

    Check out the Julian Michaels DVDs. The 30 day shred or banish fat are awseome for using your own body weight... I'm not going to lie it is TOUGH!! But the more you do it the better you get! The first time I did one I couldn't make it through the session. You can watch some of them on youtube to give you an idea.
