Yes, I made it twice this week. Yesterday evening, exercise didn't appeal, so today I ate lunch at my desk, so as to have a bit of time to digest before the end of the work half-day, and then went to the gym. It was a good workout: I had determined to go even if all I was up for was the cardio bike and crunches, but I did quite a bit with the weights (and resistance machines) as well.
Cardio, 15:30 plus 90 seconds cooldown, top heart rate 154
Leg press, 220 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Chest press, 55 pounds, 12; 50 pounds, 8
Glute machine, 50 pounds, 15 with each leg; 37.5 pounds, 15 with each leg
Slanted calf raise (this is the one I've mostly been using in the last couple of years), 80 pounds, 15; 70 pounds, 15 [at 80, there's noticeable and uncomfortable pressure at my butt/lower back, so I don't think I'll want to increase the weight on this machine unless I find a trainer and they show me a way to avoid or at least significantly reduce the pressure: there's none to notice at 70 pounds, enough to be an annoyance at 80).
Seated calf raise (the one I used to use all the time), 70 pounds, 9 [and then my left calf started to feel as though it might cramp], 55 pounds, 12
Balance ~fly, 55 pounds, 15 with each leg forward, 45 pounds, 6 each
Cross-body pull for rotator cuff strength, 35 pounds, 15 with right arm
Crunches, 30, 30, 24 (when I get tired it stops working the relevant muscles, so there's no point finishing the set; I probably should have stopped earlier in the third set, or done only 2 sets)
Back arches, 2 sets of 17
Yoga tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}
Balance lateral raise, 2.5 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 15
Balance squats, 15
Biceps curls, 10 pounds each hand, 6; right arm only, ten pounds 14 (this and the stop on the ~fly were both to spare the left elbow)
