Here is a basic routine to start with.

Bench press
Lat pulldown (or pull-ups)
Chair dips
One-arm dumbbell rows
Seated dumbbell shoulder press
upright row ( pull bar up to chin, hands shoulder width)
Lunges (or step-ups on 14-16 inch bench)
Crunches
Reverse crunches

Do 3 sets of each 8-12 reps. Pick a weight you can do 8 times, when you can do 12 increase weight and go back down to 8. Do 1 set of each as a circuit with little rest between exercises, rest after each circuit. Perform 2 -3 times week add interval cardio on alternate days.
