Recommend me a five exercise workout

[lauda]

Hi guys,

I thought I would tap into some of the expertise on here as I try to re-invigorate my exercise regimen for the new year. I've got a generally decent level of cardio fitness (I can knock out a 50 minute 10k run without any problem) but would also like to include some weight training as well. The only problem is that I hate doing weights so want to try and focus my efforts to get maximum results in the minimum gym time.

I've got a membership to a well equipped gym so I have plenty of choice but which five exercises would you recommend I do for a decent all-over body workout? I'm looking to tone up and build a bit of bulk but nothing too radical.

A couple of caveats - I don't really like using free weights (other than for bicep curls) as I don't have a gym buddy to spot for me and I'm a bit put off but the grunting, crashing and testosterone in the free weights area. And I also hate doing sit-ups so please don't recommend these!

Any input/suggestions gratefully received. Cheers.
