Depends what your fitness goals are, but (for example) I don't think 20 mins of cardio and then bicep work is really a workout no matter the goal.
You should really check out
www.crossfit.com . They post a work out of the day, have videos (or youtube the exercise) on what it is if you don't know, FAQ has substitutes if you don't have the equipment. The difference you'll find versus weight training is that the exercises are not specific training. Your whole body will be getting a workout and unless you're taking steroids it's probably a better way to gain muscle mass than weight lifting. Just a note, I could be a bit biased because I'm not a fan of gyms... I just run to a park by me and I can do most of the exercises there. My track coach in high school used to have us lift weights and the workout is nothing compared to what crossfit puts up. They do a rotation of 3 days work 1 day rest as far as I can tell, and you should have a bit of freedom in messing with the exercises if you can't do specific ones. I can't do even 1 muscle up for example, so I substitute dips and pullups.
End plug.
And no, I'm not affiliated with the program, I just try to do the workouts.
If you're curious I'm 6'2 165lbs w/ 5% body fat. I just started crossfit recently so I suspect my weight will go up since my upper body is actually doing something now (I used to just run and do some situps). I still run a lot more than crossfit perscribes though.
