Tuesday, June 14, 2011, Check-In

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.

Woke up with a horrible cold. Unplanned rest day.

[alexseanchai]

The heat finally broke! So I got to do my laps of Legislative Mall and a walk to the library.

[weirdquark]

A little yoga, two sets of 10 burpees, 5 tricep push-ups, and 5 shoulder push-ups. Second set of burpees was hard enough to finish that I didn't try for a third.

[devilc]

Standard abs and arms.
1.25 miles on the treadmill at an average of 2.3mph

[chaobell]

Zumba, 1 hour. Abs are not nearly as angry about that thing with the dumbbell yesterday as I feared they'd be.

[yvi]

Hauled all the weight lifting equipment from the bedroom to the living room (yay for people able to watch TV while weight lifting), so there was that

+

10 minutes yoga and stretching

+

the usual weight lifting

[ex_sunne737]

1000 times skipping
Some weight lifting

[thene]

I ran for the first time in ages.

[semielliptical]

Walk, 1 hour.

[lyorn]

10 km bicycling, a little faster than before, which promptly led to my teeth telling me what exaclty they were thinking about that.

[willful_zephyr]

Ashtanga yoga at lunch, then a little weights, just for fun.

[untonuggan]

30 minutes on the elliptical, the second time I've been able to do that since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia.

Both upper and lower body strength training, standard physical-therapist-prescribed routine.

Really felt some of the exercises that I wasn't able to do last week due to nausea. (Crunches + nausea = not pretty) After the initial complaining finished, my muscles started singing.

Also - fourteen push-ups! New record!

[untonuggan]

That sucks! I hope you feel better soon.

Rode my bike downtown. 45 minutes swimming.
