If your goals are more for general weight loss and a fitness routine, I'd suggest getting a book that has examples of basic exercises. Such as push ups/sit ups/pull ups/etc. These exercises are easy to do anywhere, even during travel in hotel rooms, and don't require a membership/equipment/lots of initial outleigh of cash. It will, first, get you to loose some weight and later give you a good foundation for other forms/types of exercises later on down the road. When I'm traveling and can't get to the gym I always try to do a mix lot of push ups/sit ups/pull ups/dips/etc. Doing these basic exercises will surprise you with the results and will get you on a routine of fitness and exercise. Good luck.
