Weight training 2/3 times a week, and once a week yoga/pilates class is what i do now, and I feel great! But the yoga/pilates class is hard sometimes cause I hurt from the weight training

Kettlebells did it for me. Now I have stopped I haven't put weight on but I haven't lost it either.

500 crunches on the excersize ball , 30 minutes on the elliptical , and 20 push ups (i am trying to buld up more ... but what can i say ? i have skinny chicken wings )

bike ride to work - 30mins each way at least 3 times a week though i try to do it 5 days a week (if it rains i'm stuck taking public transport).
then 2-3 times a week after work i ride straight to the gym which is on the way home and do stretching and weights - chest press and/or incline press, lat pulldown, leg press and a few other random machines that take my fancy and/or aren't in use.

as chezza said - you want to do upper and lower back, triceps/biceps and legs. compound exercises and/or the compound machines are good for that as your'e using several muscle groups in one hit.
