For the best workout, do the exercises that give you the most bang for your buck. This means that you get the strongest results with the least amount of time. I want you to find fun in your workouts. I am a huge advocate of training intensely rather than extensively, and I truly love the muscular pump, burn, sweat: going so hard in my workouts that I feel like I just died. That is the style that allows me to have a transcendent experience.
I encourage you to also develop a fitness regimen that you enjoy.
