Help with a fitness routine?

I need a fitness routine for an beginner, i am a healthy 24yr old female and have no health problems that would hinder me from exercising. I recently brought a home gym so would love to know how many reps of each for a beginner and exersises to do, i also have a exercise bike and one of those big boucey balls, but not sure how to use it. I don't want all of this equipment sitting there, i really want to start using it but if i had a good weekly routine to follow i know i would use it everyday.

1. Depends on what you want to do... Lose weight, light weights with high reps Gain weight (muscle), heavy weights with low reps (up to 5 max) Get toned, Mixture of both with LOTS of stretches to even out the muscle. The bike will help with endurance, and is one of the best fat burning exercise's. Best by going at an easy pace then every few minutes go as fast as you can for 30 seconds.
