Gym newbie-help please!

Hey everyone

I'm new to the thread. I've just joined the local fitness centre and have access to the gym, classes and the pool. I am 5"3. 9st11lbs and have a body fat percentage of 22.6%. I want to generally get fit, lower my body fat percentage, tone up and just generally get healthy. I can run a 5K so I'm not really really unfit, however I am clueless when it comes to what to do in the gym! I want to go about 3 times a week (I work weekends so 3/4 is about as much as I can fit in) and do a mixture of cardio and strength training. Does anyone have any advice with regards to a rough workout plan/regime? Is it best to start with cardio or strength?


Thanks in advance
