Okay, so now your interested and you want to start resistance training but you don't have a program or routine. Here are a few resistance training programs that you can try. You can adjust your results with the following guidlines:

Suggested # of exercises per body part: At least 1
Suggested number of sets per exercise: At least 2 although 3 is preferable
Suggested number of repetitions per set: This depends on your goals, look at the chart below

Toning and defining: 15 to 18 reps
Increase muscle size and shape: 8 to 12 reps
Increase muscle strength and power: 6 to 8 reps

If you feel like one is too much or even too little of a time commitment you can always try another. I added some cardio days in - ignore them if you want.
