[weirdquark]

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 (or someone else) 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.

Walking and a bitty bit of yoga.

Weights-- started stage 4 of NRoLfW. Even with three sets, so much shorter than stage 3. Still too long to finish before going to work, so my third day of lifting will continue to be TGUs. Or possibly squats and presses. Something that works the whole body in 30 minutes.

I discovered that setting up a squat rack on the back of chairs totally doesn't work for me, but the backs of our kitchen stools are at an excellent height and even have a dip in the middle where the bar can rest. I don't really need it because the shoulder press that I'm doing with the squats still kicks my ass, so I'm not lifting more than I can hoist up on my own, but someday, this will not be the case. Also, it was nice to not have to hoist it up on my own.

Rest day.

[lyorn]

10 km bicycling. Planned more, but it rained.

[willful_zephyr]

Vinyasa yoga class. Then some playing in the pool.

[resolute]

Rowing, stretching, sitting poolside reading a book while my kids swam a lot. Okay, that last part isn't exercise, but it did finish up my morning at the Y.
