    try getting the book New Rules of lifting for women, it will give you advice on work out plans and proper methods on lifting. most book stores have it or try the library.

    What are your goals? Do you have a preference - machines vs free weights vs ?

    Thank you Mellow. I'll look something like that up.

    I'll try either Jackson...
    atm is working on dropping body fat and increasing lean muscle and I know that takes time so I'm willing to try allsorts.
    Short term is to firm up my thighs arms and start loosing fat so I can wear skirts/shorts in summer

    I'd start with squats, bench press and rows. Free weights are generally more effective, but machine/cable exercise can be perfectly fine. You can add in other exercises if you want, but those 3 will plenty to get yourself going. Paired with a good diet (reasonable calorie intake and fairly balanced macros) and you'll be off to a good start.
