To answer your question directly, yes!
There are a lot of opinions going around, but I remember a saying, "A man with an experience is never at the mercy of a man with a theory." Granted, half of my routine involves running. I also have a very simple weight gym (free weights).
Here is my routine:
I run 3 to 4 miles every other day (e.o.d.).
90 push-ups (30 regular, 60 incline) eod.
45 pull-ups (3 sets of 15) eod.
90 sit-ups (30 regular, 30 oblique, 30 leg lift) eod.
45 reps on bench press (3 sets of 15 @ 182lbs) eod.
45 reps (3 sets of 15) pulling my body up while in a horizontal position (opposite of bench press) eod.
60 reps verticle arm raises to work top of shoulders (3 sets of 20 @11lbs each arm) eod.
45 reps curls (3 sets of 15 @ 40lbs)
I also take the stairs when possible and take every opportunity I can fit in for outdoor activity. So, I highly recommend getting outdoors. I hike, kayak, rock climb. Some of my upper body work is done on a small finger board (rock climbing training board). Finally, while diet is very important, this lifestyle allows me to drink a beer or glass of wine every night and enjoy eating just about anything I want. Peanut Butter is among my favorite things to eat.
The result - I am 35 5'8" weighing in at 161lbs without health issues and very low stress.
