Start out one day with simple isolation workouts. Biceps, triceps, chest, back, core, legs, whatever you want to focus on. Find your target weight that you can barely finish 10 reps of it in about 30-45 seconds, and rest for a minute or two. Do at least 3 sets of those 10 reps for each muscle group. Log down all your exercises, sets, reps and weights you used. Rest for a day or two, then try some compound exercises like loaded squats, push-ups, loaded carries and deadlifts. Those all work multiple muscle groups. Then maybe after day or so of rest, do some cardio. Treadmill, rowing, cycling, step-climber, whatever works for you.

It might all be intimidating so if you aren't comfortable alone with all the equipment, so maybe go with a friend, co-worker, or relative.

Also make sure you get at least 7+ hours of sleep, eat plenty of balanced nutrition (essential protein, healthy fats, fibrous veggies, low sugar) and possibly find a pre-workout drink to give you a boost. I recommend an electrolyte drink or powder over anything, those stimulate your body and give it actual energy. Don't drink anything with sugar and caffeine, all those do is make you "un-tired" and mess with your adrenals. It you need caffeine, drink something like a small black coffee or tea, or a small sugar-free energy drink if you're in a pinch.
