Thursday, November 17, 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.

Swimming, 20 laps. Would have been 40, but I forgot what time the pool closes on Thursdays.

Crossfit kettlebells again. I feel like I didn't do so well tonight...maybe I picked too much weight (even though I tried to choose what I thought was a cautiously light bell). And I always hate the dolphin burpees.

A fairly long warm-up, then...

12 1-minute rounds of 10 overhead swings plus five dolphin burpees. If you finish your task in less than a minute, you get to rest until the next minute starts. I picked a 24 kg bell (the recommended weight for men was 32 kg) and after the fourth round I was wiped out...had to restrict myself to 5-rep mini sets for the swings, and after that point I basically ignored the timer and did as much as I could.

Or did I? I have the irritating feeling that I should have tried harder.
