Aikido would be good for those who are beginning martial arts and aren't necessarilly interested in fighting or actual self-defense. If you're looking for light excerxise and maybe learning a few applicable techniques then Aikido works.
If you want a more strenuous workout with more self-defense applications check out Muay Thai, Judo, Boxing, or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Keep in mind that with these arts, the training is a double edged sword. The training is what gives you the great workout and prepares you for confrontations, but you're more likely to get injured due to the physical nature of these arts as opposed to an easy art like Aikido.
