I agree on getting in shape. There are 1000 ways to do it. They all basically involve moving a lot more than you currently do. Find something you like and get going.
As for martial arts and self defense, I am not any kind of expert. I do like the seminars that iCP mentioned. However, these kind of things need to be practiced to the point of making them a reaction. So finding a good place to train is important.
