I'm looking for things I can do inside preferably because it's starting to get really cold outside. I don't have a home gym or anything like that, I live in a studio apartment. I have 2lb, 5lb, and 10lb weights. I also have a yoga dvd and a Jillian Michaels 30day shred dvd but it looks like its too advanced for me at this point. Any ideas of what to begin with?

That's awesome that you'd like to start exercising again.
If you are just starting, I can recommend some workouts. I love FitnessBlender and they rate their workout difficulty on a scale between 1-5. Here are links to a few level 2 workouts:
Level 2 low impact (aka, no jumping) cardio workout:
Level 2 low impact cardio workout:
Level 2 stretching/yoga routine (Great for relaxing sore muscles):
If you are feeling too advanced for those, this is a great level 3 cardio workout that does involve some jumping:
They have over 500 workouts for free, so you can always find something if you're looking to work on a specific area of your body. Leslie Sansone walking workouts are also good for beginners, there are some free ones on Youtube.
If you like Jillian Michaels, she does have a program called "Beginner Shred" that is supposed to be for beginner levels. It's still supposed to be tough though, it being a Jillian Michaels routine after all.
