I suggest simply getting a good understanding of your body type. Focus on a balance workout routine and a balance diet. In time, you will know your body's strengths and weaknesses. Then focus more time on your weaknesses. Whatever you do, make sure you enjoy it, and make it fun. (i.e.-I go to a gym that has lots of nice looking women, rather than working-out in my garage)

I have a football player build. Lifting weights and bulking-up comes easy for me, running and cardio work is not. When I go to the gym, I spend about 40 minutes on cardio work and about 20 pumping iron. You might be the exact opposit. No matter what, to me the best looking people are "balanced", thats what I work for.

Also, I watch people with personal trainers. They spend alot of time doing what I consider weird excercises. I stick with the basics; Running (lots of variation on different days-speed/sprints, distance, incline, stairs, even walking), cycling, push-ups, pull-ups, squats, military press, bench press, curls, and a few others.

Try subscribing or reading Men's Health, best mag I have seen for overall fitness.
