Suggestions for routine needed

[Corpsman112]

I am 5'7" And weigh 175 pounds and am 37. I used to work out like a champ in high school but have been sedimentary for years. I need a basic program that will he'll me get definition and cut down on my rounding belly. I don't know if I should be concentrating on free weights or machines at first to build up my strength. I am looking for frequency of mud le groups... whether to stick with pushes on one day and pulls on the next while doing abs everyday? Any suggestions would be great.

i would concentrate on cardio for a while then bring in the weights

I do 30 minutes of cardio everyday.

work in bodyweight exercises too, just the basics pushups, pullups , squat thrusts. It will help you ease back into it. I did P90x with my wife to help us get started back into it, 2 years later we are both still busting our asses. Diet is the key, just ask 3J.

I have P90X. I am just trying to get into good enough shape to do it. Thus last time my wife and I tried it kicked our ass.

For a beginner you just cant beat the basic compound lifts and set rep 10 x 3.
Squat
Deadlift
Bench
Dips
Bbl bentover row
Pull up/Chin up
Overhead press
And there you go.
