You can see the muscle groups here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle Sounds like you want a total body workout. I suggest Bodylastics exercise tubes for several reasons. They are inexpensive, light-weight, you can get full range of motion from them and workout every part of your body. Weights and weight machines are none of the above.
most resistance training exercises hit more than one muscle at a time so you don’t have to worry about hitting every single one individually. but here’s the break down:
shoulders:
anterior deltoid
posterior deltiod
lateral deltoid
upper trapezius
arms:
triceps
biceps
brachialis
back:
mid and lower trapezius
rhomboids
latissimus dorsi
teres major
erector spinae
chest:
pectoralis major and minor
(but anterior deltoid and triceps are also included here)
abs:
rectus abdominus
external obliques
internal obliques
transverse abdominus
from the hips down:
quadriceps
hamstrings
gastrocnemius (calf muscles)
gluteus medius
gluteus maximus
adductors
