Everyone talks about goals, and I think they are very important. However, many people use the wrong scorecard.
Your initial goals should be very simple: lift three times a week and do cardio three tme a week. That's it. As you consistently make that happen over time, you'll be able to figure out other, long-term goals.
I would recommend you first do a machine circuit three times a week. Go through the whole circuit twice each time with sets of 15 reps (the last 2-3 reps should be very hard but do-able), which should take about one to 1.5 hours including stretching/warm up ahead of time and stretching/a little abs at the end. The list I would use on this circuit would be:
leg press
leg extension
leg curls
bench
incline
flys
pull over and/or pull down
seated row
curl
triceps press
shoulder press
laterals for the shoulders
back extensions
Get a trainer to show you the seup on each machine, write them down, and then keep up on your workouts. When the last 1-2 reps are really hard, jump the weight one increment.
