Getting back into the groove

Boy, it feels good to get your workouts back on track.

After a nasty cold set me back a week, I finally started hitting the weights again last weekend. The real surprise, however, was how today's workout turned out.

All that I had planned today was a simple 30 minute spin on the stationary bike at the fitness center at work. It turned out that I forgot to pack a towel, so I decided to do something that would cause less sweating - a whole body weight workout.

I started with legs:
Dumbbell Deadlifts: 70's x 10, 85's x 20
Leg Curls: 100 x 15
One Leg Calf Raises: 10 x 20

Then I decided to do two circuits of the following:

Standing DB Press: 35 x 15, 8
Pull ups: 13, 9
Dips: 15, 9
Upright DB Rows: 30 x 10, 8

Doesn't sound like much, but at the pace I worked it almost flattened me. Great change of pace and really felt like I accomplished something!
