When developing a work out structure remember to section of muscle groups for each day.
You should section off muscle as such
1. Chest and Bicep
2. Shoulders, Triceps and Back
3.Leg Day (All lower body exercises)
This sectioning can be adjusted as you see fit but this is what I original started at for basic health and fitness.
Before we go into the actual exercises you need to do a warm-up. This will consist of a 10-15 minute jog, this you will complete after stretches.

Above is a link of the benefits of stretching.
Here is a basic guide for stretches. By no means do I expect you to do all of these stretches. Pick about 4-5 stretches and take 5 minutes to do them. Afterwards you should step onto a treadmill for some light aerobic exercise. Set the timer for 10-15 minutes with the incline on at least a 5. This will make you have to push harder through your warm-up. The speed you need to set at a level that cause you to pick up your feet into a light jog. Do your best too keep this job up through the 15 minutes. If you cant don't be discouraged you will get there.
Now lets section of this groups into days of the week with proper rest days in between.

The weights you add to each exercise will depend on you. What you want is to have weight for each exercise so that it is difficult to reach 12 reps. If you can reach past 12 reps add five pounds to your weight for the next round and do this until it is difficult to reach 12 reps.
