Gaining muscle.

Well, I'm 16 and never have really worked out. I used to do a machine workout over at a nearby YMCA about a year ago, but that was when I played dedicated baseball, now I don't do any sports. I think I am still in shape, not over weight according to my physcician and I feel good but what I still lack is actual muscle.
I wouldn't say I'm that I'm weak, I just have no muscle definition really.
Are there any simple excersises or workout things I can do to mainly get build up my abdominal area and arms? I do alot of walking and stuff so my legs have always been strong but my upper body is like blah.
I'm looking for stuff I can do at home, or in my room and doesn't require machines. Like crunches and pushups and sit ups? Or are there better things to do?
Thanks alot.

You can only go so far with bodyweight exercises only - sooner or later you will outgrow anytype of bodyweight exercise you do and will need more resistance. If you're trying to come up with a bodyweight routine you'll need a few more exercise than what you have so far: like dips; chin ups; squats; etc.
You should be able to put together a reasonable workout at home with a few dumbells/barbells and a bench. Some saw-horses would come in handy for squats as well.
Checkout the stickies at the top and come up with a routine, whether bodyweight or with some weights, and post it for feedback.
