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.

Several laps of Legislative Mall, but that made my legs hurt, so I skipped the yoga.

20 minutes elliptical. Travel to a con tomorrow, so probably won't have time, but I may do some Turkish Get-ups tonight to count for next time.

Lifted using two 5 liter water jugs... the small handles hurt my hands after a while but hey, poor girl's weights for only 50 TWD each (less than $2 USD). Plus I have hydration right on hand *snicker*.
Other than that, abs and some light walking.

Full set of abdominals and arms

1 mile on the treadmill at an average of 2.2 mph

[rydra_wong]

Morning yoga, two and a half hours climbing (somewhat ineffectual owing to the lack of skin on some of my fingertips).

50 minutes class of Pilates

[lyorn]

5 km cycling. Wanted to do more but got stuck at work :-(

[willful_zephyr]

Fundamentals of Ashtanga class after work. New teacher for me, and he did a good job of kicking my butt.

[erda]

Swimming for 45 minutes and back exercises.

[semielliptical]

Yoga, 30 minutes.

Another CrossFit Day. Deadlifts during the strength portion, then a workout consisting of sumo deadlift high-pulls (with a 24 kg kettlebell), pushups, and box jumps. And I'm spent!

During lunch break

A little bit of country dancing. Due to lacking coordination though I tired myself without a lot of success.

The sopping center next to work seems to have every day at midday some happy dancing. I'm more eager to see the salsa and rock things, but this one was fun, too. And Cowboy boots!
