I fell this morning. Nothing hurt too bad. My right leg is irritated. My left knee and elbow are a little ouchy. I modified my workout for today around those realities.
NuStep: 10 minutes at level 6.
Crunch: 2 x 15
Reverse Crunch: 2 x 15
Leg Lifts: 2 x 10
Prone Cobra: 30 seconds.
Supersets:
Leg Press: 2 x 15 x 260
Incline DB Bench Press: 2 x 12 x 32.5
Seated Row: 2 x 15 x 115
Hack Squats: 2 x 15 x 90
Decline BB Bench Press: 2 x 105 x 8
Crappy workout. My knees hurt, my leg hurt and I was generally down. Still, I made myself go to the gym and exercise and there is something to be said for that. Tonight I intend to take pain medication, wrap myself in a comforter and sleep for about ten hours. I'll see if I wake up in a better mood.

There's a lot to be said for that kind of discipline and determination. Keep on going.

You fall. You get up. You brush yourself off. And you do your workout.
That kind of attitude cannot fail to inspire.

It's easy to workout when you're feeling great. Nice job getting to the gym on a bad day, Greg!

I agree, just getting in there and doing something when you don't feel like it really shows a great state of mind. Keep it up!

Did the treadmill for 10 minutes but my leg was bothering me too much to continue. I'll try later on. Meanwhile, I have to go vote.

It's getting cold out! I miss my home gym.
Warmup: 10 minute on treadmill @ 2.7 mph. I don't know how to judge various speeds. Depending on the treadmill anywhere from 1.8 to 2.7 mph feels about the same.
Supersets:
Stepups: 2 x 15 x 15
Neutral Grip Shoulder Press: 2 x 15 x 30
Goblet Squats: 2 x 15 x 35
Dumbbell Pullover: 2 x 15 x 25
Side Plank: 30 seconds each side.
10 minutes treadmill @ 2.7 mph.
Added weight to stepups. It was not really a matter of adding weight, I just didn't feel as shaky doing stepups this time. Goblet squats hurt the back of my leg where it was welted from my fall. It kind of let me know I was getting low enough.

I had trouble sleeping (again!) last night. I had an ear ache and nausea so I think I had a bug of some kind. Anyway, I didn't push too much today, but I did the following:
2 x 15 x BW Stepus (on stairs)
Mahler type stair workout for gimps. I went up four steps. Went down four steps.
Up eight. Down eight. Up fifteen. Down fifteen. Collapse in a chair.
Treadmill: 3 x 10 minutes x 2.5 mph at 2.5 elevation.

Nice workout Greg - you know that anything Mahler-related's gotta be tough.

I am doing it on a 19th century staircase that makes it steeper and narrower and much tougher for me than my old house. I have a feeling that my next house will be a ranch house. It will be easier to clean and easier to get around in. Until then, I guess I will have an extra piece of exercise equipment.

I tend to stop by here when ever I'm feeling run down so I can see what determination looks like. Thanks bud.

I stop by your log to see the crazy circuits you do! They inspire me to get my ass up and do something!
Today:
Warmup: 10 minutes on treadmill @ 2.5 mph.
crunches 3 x 15
reverse crunches: 3 x 10
circuits:
DB Squat: 30lbs x 20
Incline DB BP 30 x 12
Bench Rows 35 x 12
DB Squat: 30 x 15
Seated DB Military Press: 27.5 x 12
Bench Rows: 35 x 12
DB Squat: 30 x 15
DB Incline BP: 30 x 12
Bench Row: 35 x 12
Seated DB Curl to Press: 3 x 25 x 10
Goblet Squat: 3 x 35 x 10
Side Plank: 30 seconds (barely) each side.
I just wanted to have fun so I did a DB version of a 3 x 3 and added some fun exercises at the end. Really hard workout for me.

Saw this joke in Esquire and thought I'd pass it along:
After a long night drinking a man stood up to leave the bar and fell flat on his face. Thinking he just needed some fresh air, he crawled outside. When he tried to stand, he fell face first in the mud.He decided to crawl home. The next morning his wife found him asleep on the doorstep.
"You went out drinking last night didn't you?", she asked.
"How did you know?", he replied.
"You left your wheelchair at the bar again."
I'm here all week.
