For an absolute beginner, this is what I would reccomend:
-Start light on the weights and work your entire body 2 to 3 times a week. Do 2 or 3 sets of 10 reps. You should lift until you're tired, not until you're about to fail. Increase the weights modestly until you're comfortable with lifting heavy. -You can use a FEW machines on your first visits, but it's a good habit to use free weights as much as possible. -Look up exercise charts to find what exercises use which muscles. Be sure to read about technique and execution carefully to prevent injury. -ALWAYS lift weights before going onto cardio. -Switch up which cardio machine you use. Your body gets efficient at running/biking/elliptical quickly, and you don't want it to be efficient. -Keep you entire workout to around an hour or an hour and a half.
Come back in three months.
