Safe Workout Routine for a Teen
Hello, I am 17yr/male and I am looking to stay lean and also gain some muscle. I am currently 5'6" and about 125lbs. Since I am at a healthy weight, I would like to maintain this but I also want to gain some muscle as I am a tad scrawny and I heard strengthening muscles is important for teens. What I am looking for is someone qualified (through profession or experience)to give me an exact schedule that I can follow (and repeat weekly) to maintain my weight (cardio, running, treadmill, etc) and also gain muscle (arms, chest, abs, legs, back,, shoulders, etc). All I can find online when I search this is those insane body building sites telling me to pump iron and take supplements-that is not at all what I am looking for. I am looking for a smart routine to stay healthy and gain muscle. I have a basement with free weights, treadmill, and full gym machine (presses and what-nots). I really appreciate any help you can give me (i.e. a set schedule) or helpful site that can give me weight/reps I should do as a beginner and how often, what order, etc. Thank you very much.

Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
I don't think anyone on this website is an actual fitness trainer but i may be wrong.
I also dont think you should be asking us (on this website) for a workout schedule because we don't know how you look, what your strengths or weaknesses are, etc.
My best advice is to go to the gym and pay for a personal trainer. Thats what i did. I needed help getting back into shape for sports season and I went to Lifetime Fitness and asked someone who worked there for a personal trainer. I got my pick of male or female. And then she asked me what I specifically wanted to work on, then she gave me some ideas and asked me how vigorous I wanted the schedule to be, then she made the schedule for me. And 2 times a week I would go to the gym and she would be there to guide me on what to do, then train me how to get better at it. It is kind of expensive but it is really worth it, if you are serious about it. Oh and you can pick how many days you want to work out, what days and times etc. so pretty much its "your" schedule but she's picking the stuff you do.
Good luck!
