I really dont know anything about anything. I weigh 95 give or take a few pounds. If anyone has a workout routine for ne it would be greatly appreciated. I would first like to get my muscle lean and then start increasing the mass. I guess that is how I would put that. I would love any advice or tips from anyone. Thank you.

Just clean up your diet and start lifting with basic compound movements, and you'll be fine. http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=4195843 Also read this for descriptions on how to do exercises http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=118920551 You'll want someone knowledgable to be there when you first lift to make sure you have good form and to spot for you.
