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.

In between Couch to 5K I grabbed the "Legs, Bums and Tums Home Workout" from the NHS Live Well website largely because my tummy is one of the bits of my body I'm less keen on and I wanted something to do on the days when I wasn't running or cycling. The first time I tried it I pulled something so I've been waiting for things to return to normal and then attempted a drastically cut down version of it today, reducing most of the exercises to 2 or 5 repeats rather than 15 (as suggested). I don't seem to have injured myself so next time I'll try it I'm going to add an extra two repeats to all the exercises apart from one which doesn't seem to interact well with my dodgy knee.
