If you can afford it, I highly recommend hiring a personal trainer who can give you a personal evaluation and fitness program. Most high-end gyms have people on staff that do this.
I did this a few years ago and was very happy with the results. My program consisted of three days of weight training per week: one hour of three different zones. One day was legs, the next was back and chest, the third was arms, shoulders and lower back. I did abs every workout. After weights, I did 45 minutes of cardio on an elliptical trainer. I got in shape very quickly this way.
The past couple years have been a sucker punch to my life - and I back slid. I have recently restarted my workouts. Having the knowlege from the trainer has been a big help.
Good luck!
