Absolutely, you are getting something out of it. You are moving and exerting energy so I say nice work and keep it up. If you are doing 3 sets of 10 with pretty much no rest I would say use more weight for those sets and you will "feel" that you are getting something out of it. I workout similar to you. I do about 7 lifts in a period of a hour super setting everything. Barely ever stopping to rest. Anyway, moving more and not seating on the couch is alway good.0

Will you be getting something out of it? Sure
Can you get more out of your time? Sure
Start using a barbell (free weights) & ditch the machines.0 -
