Tuesday, February 15, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, 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.

30 pushups.

Body weight exercises, followed by soft-tissue work. Got a foam roller and a soft-ball on the way to work. Went to town on my TFL's on-down.

Sore, but can stretch more, now. Did some warrior's and could feel the wrap under my leg for the first time in months.

TWO HOURS CLIMBING. Just traversing (going along sideways, minimal distance across the ground, so no falling and no impact), but if anything it made my back feel better; I had more range of motion afterwards.

And new traverses have just gone up, and the hard one looks like it's going to be an awesome project for me, so basically I can live in the traverse corridor until my back's okay and I can fall off things again.

Then 40 minutes of cautious yoga later.

NRoLfW, phase 1 workout A3.

First time to go down with repetitions for the not-bodyweight exercises. I loaded the barbell with shocking 5 extra kilos. :-)

"Strength and Balance" from Power Yoga for Every Body, 'cause I knew there was Bakasana work in that set. I'm getting there, slowly but steadily.

Another 40 min tramping in the snow after yet another snowstorm. More shoveling last night and a bit today and lots more tomorrow. What a winter.

Just ate so I'll give it at least an hour, but then a bit of yoga to relax before bed.

Warm weather! Walked to CrossFit, CrossFat, and walked home. Hang power snatch, push press, box jumps. Butterfly situps.

Yoga first thing in the morning. Probably only 20 minutes, I was not awake enough to do much, or to note the time.

Square dancing as the wrong gender is a serious mindfuck.

[zennish]

Crossfit!

[alphaviolet]

1-hr dance class.
