    (weighted) squats, deadlifts, bench press, overhead press, barbell rows and pull-ups would be a good start

    Exercise selection depends on the goal. What's yours?

    What are sort of goals do you have? It will probably more beneficial to set up some sort of routine before you go into the gym instead of cherry picking some different exercises.

    If your goal is strength a program like Strong Curves or StrongLifts 5x5. Though both will need fractional weights (0.25lb., 0.50lb., 0.75lb., 1lb.) in order to work through the progression properly.

    If your goal is more endurance than search for Circuit Training routines.

    If your goal is cardio fitness choose what kind you can do now like walking, biking, running etc.

    What ever your choice is be flexible in the beginning, once you find a workout that you enjoy doing that helps get you to your goal that is the one you will stick with for the long haul.

    Good Luck!
