Do a search for "muscle exercises" and you'll come up with a couple sites that will list different exercises you can do. Start with the basic compound moves like presses and rows and pullups working each muscle group maybe twice a week. Give the muscles at least 1 day to recover between workouts. Use a weight you can do 10-12 reps with and can do 3-4 sets each, but the last rep should be a struggle. Not necessarily to failure, but it should not be a breeze to get through.
