Hey, EED community!

Sorry, had a crazy RL monring and totally FORGOT!

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.

Lazy Resting this morning during exercise time. Hopefully I'll get in some pre-bedtime yoga tonight!

Gotta nasty cold (which explains why I've been so tired and achy over the last few days). Taking the day off; will probably do some gentle stretching later on, but that's it.

Hope you feel better, soon.

More isometrics and bodyweight exercises. Still hating and fearing split squats. I can manage 5 reps per side, with shockingly bad form, clambering up the broomstick as it rocks from side to side.

Get well soon.

I should -- usually I rebound pretty fast from colds and flu if I can crash completely for a day. Hopefully I got it early enough: it's when I've been trying to keep going while feeling lousy that I run myself into the ground.

Was tired but decided to try another thrift store vhs find, a "20/20 Pilates" tape. Weird mix of dance moves, yoga positions and pilates. Meant to just to the 1st 20 min segment and ended up doing both. Upper back and shoulders a bit sore from yesterday's workout.

After the hip healed up got nailed with a nasty little virus that turned into a mild case of bronchitis... first day back after that ended, taking it easy.

20 minutes of simple yoga and ballet exercises, and a LOT of housework.

Did more couch-to-5k running and walking, followed by squats and back extensions on the bouncy ball, then planks.
