Hi Marsha,

I do a full-body workout 3 times a week (MWF or TTS). I follow the HST
protocal, which is designed to stimulate hypertrophy (muscle growth):

I do these exercises:
Deadlift
flat bench press
lat pull downs
Leg Press
Seated Cable Pull
Incline Bench press
Shoulder Press
Standing Calf Raise
Machine Pullover
Assisted Dip
Tricep Pressdown
Bicep Curl (cable machine)

Keep in mind that my primary focus is fat loss, not muscle gain. If I were
actively trying to gain muscle, I do less exercise, fewer sets (I do 4 sets
fo the first 5), and eat everything in sight.

Krista's got some good workouts for beginners on her site:

I suggest you go with one of those.
