One of the most important things that you haven't mentioned is diet.

Make sure you have a decent diet, with plenty of protein. Replace sugary foods with low GI carbs and make sure you eat 5-6 small meals a day, instead of 3 big meals. This will give you a constant supply of energy.

Also, drink water instead of soda's, etc.

Once you have your diet sorted, workout different areas of your body on different days.

So something like this;

Mon;

Upper-body exercises;

Shoulder presses

Bench presses

Bicep curls

Crunches & situps

Push ups

Back extensions

Tues;

Cardio work; walking, jogging, running skipping, biking, etc.

Wed;

Maybe good idea to have a rest day or just light cardio work such as walking.

Thurs;

Lower-body exercises;

Calf raises

Lunges

Squats

Rowing

Machine Squat

Fri;

Cardio work again (see Tues).

Sat and Sun would be a good idea to rest - don't overtrain or you'll get worse results. Your body will need some days to rest.

Don't be afraid to ask for advice in the gym and make sure you know how to use the equipment properly, or you could cause injury.
