Wow, It's Been A While!

I didn't exactly stop exercising after my last post, I just didn't keep up with this blog. Let's see, I started a 13-week running program in the summer, followed it for 5 weeks before I quit, and I'm not exactly sure why I quit because it was going well. Then I did the odd strength training workout here and there until November 29, 2010, when I decided that I am going to compete at Femsport on April 2, 2011. I did about 3 weeks of a good, basic full-body strength routine to build up my base, but then tragedy struck! Well, more like a bad cold, which turned into an ear infection, which involved antibiotics. When I stopped taking the antibiotics, I thought I was good to go, but I think they killed all the good bacteria in my gut. I had bad stomach issues for a few days, which set me back again. I hate getting sick!!! By this point I felt like I really needed to get active, but my body just was not cooperating! My ear is still bugging me, but not enough to get in the way of my workouts, so yesterday, I did this:

push-ups: 10/10/10
double crunches: 20/20/15

sumo squat with upright row and 12 kg KB: 12/10/12
narrow bent-over row with 15's: 10/10/9

squats with 10's: 12/12/12
bicep curls with 10's: 12/12/12

reverse crunches: 15/15/15
skull crushers with 10's: 12/10/12

Each group of 2 exercises is a superset, meaning I did them back to back with little to no rest, and I did each set to failure (except the abs, don't really want to take them to failure yet). I also danced around for 5 minutes to warm-up. When you superset like this, it makes the workout go by so quickly, which I love! Seeing this is a full-body workout, today will be a cardio day, and I've already booked a night ski. It's snowing right now, so it should be pretty nice out there - can't wait!
