exercise_every_day | Saturday, October 15th, 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 (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.

Weights, which was all fine and good, but here is the learning experience:

Farmer's Walk is *hard*, y'all. My *goodness*. I took a stroll around the weight room about 120 feet, carrying a pair of 40 lbs dumbbells, and I nearly dropped them at the end. So then I did it again, to see if it was really that hard, and it is. My forearms are aching in the good way. Who knew?

And here is the triumph:

I did five second of UNASSISTED PLANK. Like, on the floor, not on a bench, just me, and plank, FIVE SECONDS. This was after my workout and my usual assisted planks on the bench. WIKTORY!
