I've only recently figured out the perfect workout myself, but I have been finally seeing the results. I've just been naturally scrawny and skinny my whole life, so it's an uphill battle. But even though I'm not as strong as my friends, I'm getting there and definately have them beat on the abbs. I do my workout every second day, as follows.

Start out with gentle warm-up with a yoga stretching routine.

Arm Curls:
Always keep a good heavy weight. 3 sets of 10 reps.

Abbs:
I lie back, put one foot on the opposite knee, the put my arm from the same side as the leg through the hole made by my leg. Then I do crunches that work just my left, then switch and do just my right. It works really well.

Then I do strait-up situps.

Then I do leg-lifts, where I lie on my back and put my legs together and lift them right up, then lower them an inch above the floor and repeat.

All 4 of these are done in 3 sets of 10.

Pushups:
As described above, do them holding the dumbbells. Right now I can only manage 2 sets of 10 because I just switched to this method, but I will work it up to 3 sets.

Thingamajigs:

LOL, can't think of a name for it. I take my arm-curling weight at one side at a time, and lift it at my side up to my armpit. This works those muscles that connect your neck to your shoulder really well.

2 sets of 10, will get it up to 3 when I get used to my pushups. I like to keep all my muscles capable of a consistant number of reps.

As for my legs I'm not sure what I can do. I walk whenver I can, but the sciatica kills me when I walk more than 20 minutes. I tried leg lunges but it made the sciatica much worse.
Fuck that shit man, don't ever get into a routine. And yoga is for winding down, not warming up. Warm up by going for a walk, walk until you are tired. Then when you go home if you feel energtic throw some dumbells around and do some press ups, otherwise do some light yoga. If you don't then maybe the next day. Get the blood pumping through your heart before you try lifting anything heavy. You don't need excessively heavy weights to put on some muscle either. Use the same weight until you feel like your not lifting anything and you can throw them around like they are weightless, and then build up that way. Use the same weight for ages and don't worry about how many reps you do. Wind down afterwards by relaxing and stretching. Sleep on a hard surface if you can. I sleep on the floor using a quilt as a matress, I wont have it any other way.
