exercise_every_day | August 17, 2010, Check-In

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Seems like a great day to get moving!

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.

Did 20 minutes yoga this morning, and will do my pushups etc. when I get home from work, then maybe some more yoga before bed.

lullabymoon

20 minutes of yoga and 3 sets of 10 wall pushups. I may or may not attempt some tai chi later on, depending on how busy work is.

just_ann_now

65-minute "Balanced Energy" workout from Barbara Benagh's Power Yoga for Every Body followed by meditation. A good morning's work.

Early morning walk, slightly longer than yesterday's.

Ran/walked two miles, followed by crunches and stretches. Kept up my time, even though I slept badly last night and barely dragged myself out of bed.

Ran and did yoga this morning. My dad took me to a local park to run, saying he thought I might like that more, and I really do. It seemed so much easier because there were other runners and people walking their dogs and more stuff to look at. But I probably got more exercise on a shopping trip with my mother and grandmother! Why do people have to make 21st birthdays such a fuss...? I'm pretty sure put together they spent at least £300 on me today, in pure frivolity.

Anyway! More yoga later, as usual.
