Alternatively you could do bodyweigth training if you prefer that (like me)

1. Pull: such as pullup

2. Push: towards one arm one leg pushup

3. Legs: Pistol up (=1 leg squat)

4. Core: V-ups and bridge works for me.

Once we went carting with the company. Everybody was sore afterwards in all kinds of places (software devs :)). I was fine.

If you are a beginner and want to start with calisthenics, I recommend the Hybrid Routine[1]. It has really nice progressions for all exercised mentioned above (and it's free!)

1,2,3 are intermediate level though. After a year I cam do 6 reps of 1, 0 reps of 2, probably 15 of 3 and 90s bridge. But a sedate person might enjoy a gym better or TRX maybe to assist as these are hard for average Joe.
