you might want to start with some cardio exercise to improve your endurance and stamina which are the base of all exercise (without some good stamina you won't be training for long :wink: ) then it's just a matter af wath you want to train (abs, arms, shoulders,...) as I am a karateka I prefer to train my entire body in a balanced way but if you really want more energy then I would suggest to go jogging, it's easy, keeps you fit and does wonders for your stamina if done on a regular basis... hope this helped and have a good time working out :thumbsup:
