The Fitness Warrior is Down for the Count!

I got up yesterday at 5am, as usual, and left the bedroom eager to start my workout.  I can't believe I actually look forward to it now.  :)
Since I get bored so easily, I hate sticking to one workout for too long.  It's a great idea to change up exercise routines often because your body adapts to them quickly, but if you change them too much (like me!) you aren't able to track your progress as well.   Oh well!
I love keeping things fresh and trying new things!

So for Tuesday morning's workout, I did half an hour of Zumba to warm up (which worked really well, by the way) and then did the following:
15 - Squats
15- Stiff Legged Deadlift
15 - Lying Dumbbell Press
15 - Lying Dumbbell Flys
15 - Overhead Dumbbell Press
50 - Regular Crunches (slowly)
10 - Lateral Dumbbell Raise
15 - Bent Over Rows
15 - Bicep Curls
15 - Lying Tricep Extension
50 - Russian Twist (with weight)
50 - Side Crunches (Each Side)
25 - Reverse Crunches
10 - Leg Lifts (super slowly)
15 - Squats 
15 - Stiff Legged Deadlift
15 - Dumbbell Blast-Off Push Up Hold
15 - Leg Circles
(I used 10 lb dumbbells for any exercise requiring weight)
I also did a lot of stretching before calling it quits.  :)


Then the worst thing ever happened...after my shower, my back felt a little sore.  As the day went on, it got worse, until I was almost hobbling along.  When I woke up the next day, I could barely get out of bed.  A sore back??? Are you kidding me???
Did I overdo it?  Maybe.  :S

So...no workout this morning and I've been icing it often.   I'm struggling with taking it easy, but I will do my best.   I am signed up for the Functional Fitness Class that starts tomorrow night (Thursday) and I really don't want to miss the first one!  


Also...finally got some awesome shoes!  Got properly fitted and they are amazing!  I so badly want to try them out!!!  There will be no stopping me in my new shoes....when I can finally wear them. :(
