It seems that if I think I'm going to just do a brief workout, I wind up exercising more than my average. I had a good time.

Cardio, 12 minutes, top heart rate 150 (this is the only part that actually fit the "brief" intention)
Leg press, 240 pounds, 3 sets of 15 (I want to build the weight up again, but it had been down to 220 for the sake of my knees, and then I did take twelve days off)
Chest press, 60 pounds, 12, 7
Calf raise, 80 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 70 pounds, 15
Balance ~fly, 65 pounds, 15 with each leg forward; 50 pounds, 10 each
Across-the-body pull for the rotator cuff, 35 pounds, 15 with each hand
Triceps pulldown, 40 pounds, 15 (I hadn't done this in quite a while; the chest press claims to also exercise the triceps)
Wrist curls, 30 pounds, 2 sets of 15

Crunches, 3 sets of 30
Back arches, 2 sets of 17
Tree, 5 sets of {3 on each leg}

Balance lateral raise, 5 pounds each hand, 15; 2.5 pounds each, 15
Balance squats, 15
Biceps curls, 10 pounds each hand, 2 sets of 20

That seems to happen to me often, which is why I think Just Do It is actually an excellent motivational slogan for exercise. I also have a particular workout I think of as Just Say Row, which is actually "Just get your (my) ass in a boat or on the erg, yes you are allowed to go lightly but the important thing is just to be moving." I find it a very good way to trick myself into getting started on Don't Wanna days, and then I almost always end up pulling much harder than intended.
