Best workout routine for me?

Question:

If life were "Police Academy", I would be Sweetchuck. I'm the short dude with a little extra weight and a little extra "wimpy". Past couple of years, I've been actively trying to lose weight and build muscle, and i'm about halfway to where I wanna be. I don't wanna be Arnold, I don't wanna beat anybody up. I just wanna look in a mirror and see it. I have definition in my arms now, and I have some abs poking through the fat. I have extra fat hanging around my sides and chest still. What's the best way for me to get rid of it, or at least add enough muscle that it doesnt look like flab. I don't care if I look stocky, as long as it's "muscular" stocky. Gimme a hand here...

I also do 100 crunches per night.

My idea is to hit a variety of ranges and movements in order to work the muscle to the maximum. I tend to use a weight I can do for 10 reps and for 25 reps on the last two movements. Apart from this I do 20 minutes or Cardio every day and stretch before and after the workout, as well as frequently during. Stretching is very important to muscular growth because not only does it help prevent injury and alleviate recovery pain, but it also stretches out the fascia tissue that surrounds the muscle and inhibits its growth. When you are pumped and you stretch is when you get the best stretch of the fascia. Lastly rest and nutrition are every bit as important as the workout itself. Eating enough protein for the muscle to recover and grow as well as enough carbohydrates to replenish diminished glycogen stores in the muscles and liver is vital for repair and being ready for the next time you tax those muscles.

1. dont over-do-it
2. start slowly, and pick up over time, but ( rule 1)
3.start trying to get a little meat, fruit and dairy along with alot of grain and veg, also do 1hr-2hrs of exersise EVERY day or every other day
4. once in a while, you can have eat dessert
5. (MOST IMPORTANT) keep it up! :)

good luck

run..do situps/crunches..its best if u do ur crunches on one of those big clear balls..they really work ur abs...but just keep doing what uve been doing..and if u wana take it a step farther then do it.
