I hate lunges too. Did you do walking (moving) lunges or stationary lunges? I know they're good for cycling muscles.

I like the push/pull routine. One routine I do is one day of push exercises (bench press, squats, leg extensions, overhead press) and one day of pull exercises (rows, lat pull downs, hamstring curls & abs). The nice thing about that routine is you can move quickly between exercises because you're working different muscle groups & be out of the gym faster.
