My shoulder was bothering me again, and I was undecided about whether to go to the gym or just come straight home. An overheard conversation at my office tipped it over into "go work out, but be careful of the shoulder." I thanked one of the people I had overheard for the inspiration, and then she and I talked a little about timing. She usually goes on her way to work, but while I have enjoyed working out in the mornings when I've been on vacation or out of work, nowadays I don't want to get up as much earlier on workdays as I'd need for a workout I'd find satisfying.
Cardio, 15 minutes, top heart rate 144
Leg press, 260 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Chest press, 45 pounds, 10
Calf raise, 70 pounds, 3 sets of 17
Wrist curls, 25 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Balance ~fly, 40 pounds, 2 sets of {15 with each leg forward}. And I dropped the five-pound incremental weight on my left pinkie, which hurt at the time but may not have left a bruise.
Adjustable row, 50 pounds, 2 sets of 15
Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 17, 17, 28 (I lost track of what I was doing and counted as if for crunches)

Balance squats, 2 sets of 15
Biceps curls, 10 pounds each hand, 20; 7.5 pounds each hand, 20
