Any movement is better than none. Unless that movement is off a cliff, I suppose.

That said, I'd like to contradict some of the other advice here. I wouldn't recommend dumbells or any kind of machine.

Look into calisthenics (exercises that use only your own body weight). Also, check out routines that use kettlebells. This will give you a great balance of flexibility, strength, muscle endurance, and cardio. And it will work the small (but important) muscle groups which are mostly ignored by dumbells and machines.
