>>23908 If your muscles are worked by the end of your workout, that's sufficient. If you're not looking for big strength gains or fat loss, I would suggest doing alternating routines of strength and endurance training.
For strength train low reps, less than 10. Train these sets to failure when it's safe. If you're doing 3 sets, it's probably a safe bet to do 10 reps to failure on the first set, then each progressive set you will be able to do less reps, but still to failure.
For endurance, train the same exercises (you should be hitting all muscles in both cases) with low weight, 20+ reps to failure each time.
The first routine would be for pure strength building if it was all you did, however you'll obviously lose some of the 'buffing' factor by spending some of your time training endurance. The endurance workout should also be good for your cardio if you have enough energy to work through the exercises steadily. Depending on your goals, you may also swap in some agility/speed training days which will also tax your cardio endurance.
