You can do a strength training routine made up of body weight and dumbbell exercises. Make sure you are hitting every muscle group. Keep in mind that the larger muscle groups need more total sets than smaller muscle groups to be fully worked. Rest muscle groups 48 hours in between workouts. It is ok to do cardio on days you don't do strength training.
