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.

About 35 minutes, starting with yoga and moving on to push-up training, single-legged squats and some free weights things.

Morning yoga, then the 75-minute YogaJournal podcast class (this is one of my benchmarks: the first time I tried it, I could only manage ten-minute chunks, spread out across a day, and now it's an old friend).

Then some quality time with the foam roller. Which I have apparently been avoiding for too long.

45 min riding lesson.

ETA: I think I forgot to post yesterday! I did one of Bob Harper's DVDs (Cadrio something something), modified for my ankle, which ended up being so much that I doubt I'll do that one again while I'm injured. I don't much care for it anyway--I'm just not used to having to do this much indoor exercise at this time of year, and trying for variety. :(

Biked to the high school track, ran intervals for half an hour, then biked another 7 miles around the neighborhood.

Shopping and then I will sweep and swiffer the kitchen and bust out the vacuum and tackle both floors.

Walk, 40 minutes, yoga, 20 minutes.

Some yoga stretching and body-weight exercises this morning and then some hauling of books from one place to another. More hauling may occur later on.

Did some chores outside. It was 108 degrees F. I'm wiped out and calling it a "rest" day.

Twenty minute walk.

[flowerstar]

Went swimming (45 min, ~1.5 km) (Yay! It's been too long!), assorted housework
