Just stick to compound, multi-joint exercises like squats and deadlifts and you'll work all your muscle. For upper body, push-ups, bench press, pull-ups, military presses are the ticket. Don't overthink it. Keep it simple and you'll get the best results in the shortest amount of time.
Ditto these comments....Weight training is just like running.......its really easy to make it complicated when it doesnt have to be. Follow EGH's advice for a number of sets and reps that is comfortable for you (starting out light and easy at first) and then build or increase your weights over time........Its really that simple
