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.

Got a bit of a late start, so I only did metabolic training this morning. I did ladders of squats and pushups: 3+3, 6+6, and so on up to 15+15 and then went back down again. I was a bit put out that my arms were getting tired on my set of 12 pushups, but then I considered that since it was done as metabolic training, my 'rest' periods between sets of pushups was however long it took me to do the squats, so I decided to cut myself some slack. I did take a brief rest after the top of the ladder to get a drink of water before coming back down. The last set of 3 pushups was pretty easy, but the set of 6 before that was hard. Grand totals: 75 squats, 75 pushups. No wonder my arms were tired.

Whuff. No wonder!
