H Danielle, WolfLady and Stikfigure have given some excellent advise. Before a routine can be chosen you need to decide whether you are aiming for weight loss, building muscle tissue, getting fit generally, getting fit for a sport etc. Once that decision is made, it becomes relatively easy to choose a suitable routine. Free weights are the best route since they do help wit stabiliser muscles, and they won't build bulk, contrary to popular belief, but they will make you stronger and will help make bones denser which all helps against osteoporosis. Your goals may also alter as you progress through exercise, which is fine because then you just alter whatever routine you are doing to suit your new goals, and it gets easy to do this once you've started. Doing cardio 3 days a week, every other day for about 30 - 45 minutes is a good place to begin...this can be built up if you are not fit enough to start at 30 minutes...5 minutes used to be a problem for me, I was out of shape, so that's not a problem. In order to build up cardio, do what you can, and then add 5 minutes to your workouts every week, so if you start at 20 minutes, it will only take one month to reach 40 minutes workout, and it won't feel daunting that way either.
Adding some resistance in is also a good idea because that will help with the muscles, and keep them toned too.
Take a look through the Articles and Guides, found at the top of the page, and if you have questions ask away, questions are helpful to everyone since others may be wondering about exactly the same things.
