exercise_every_dayHey, EED community!
Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!
If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.
1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.
2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.
3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.
4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.
5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Current list, in case anybody is interested
I am insatiably interested in what other people are up to in their exercise routines, so thank you for feeding my curiosity.
I know this list is teensy tiny compared to what most of you do (it's about 15 mins of exercise for me, BTW.)
Seriously, you have no need for self-deprecation. You're doing 15 minutes a day of serious exercise, which is more than many people manage. And you're working at a level which is appropriate and right for where you currently are physically, which is what all of us are (hopefully) doing.
There's a nice line from a yoga teacher (I can't remember who, alas) who said that everyone should be working at their edge; it's just that more flexible people have to go further to get to their edge.
Similarly, if person X is physically stronger than person Y, they may be lifting more weight in a given exercise, but that doesn't mean it's more difficult for them -- just that they've had to increase the weight as they get stronger in order to keep the difficulty level the same.
Just being consistent and getting 15 minutes in is a huge deal for anyone; don't knock it! *g*
*cheers for you really loudly*
ETA: Sorry if that came out sounding horribly patronizing. But I felt it was worth saying.
