Anyone here workout at home?

I need to get back in shape and lose some weight. I'm thinking about purchasing a weight set, maybe just a bench and some dumbbells. Anyone here have a workout routine that works? I need to mix in some cardio but also want to build muscle.

I only do ab work at home really. Occasionally pushups if I'm not motivated to go to the gym. Before I got into going to the gym, my daily workout was 500 jumping jacks, 200 situps, 100 pushups. It got me into shape but is more cardio and toning than muscle building.

As far as weights go, I lift 5 days a week. Always start with 10-30 minutes of cardio. Then finish with 20-30 minutes of lifting.

Here's one I found online that is basically what I do:

Day 1 - Shoulders + Traps

Day 2 - Arms + Abs

Day 3 - Chest + Back

Day4 - Legs

Cept I do abs 3 or 4 times a week and also have a 5th day (generally Friday at around noon) where I work out whatever muscles aren't sore. Then I take Friday and Saturday off altogether.
