exercise_every_dayHey, 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 another community member 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.

Date: 2013-04-05 08:09 am (UTC)I have looked at stage 2 and am intimidated. I am also unsure whether to put in heavy lifts or metabolic work (burpees and kettlebell/dumbbell swings) at stage 2.
Pro lifting:
- I have medium to low body fat and medium to low muscle mass for my age, so focussing on strength seems useful
- Lifting is more fun.
- I do a lot of bicycling, so it's not as if I'm not getting any cardio exercise.
Pro metabolic:
- Bicycling long distances is far more energy-conserving than the metabolic exercises.
- I am really bad at short-term high-effort cardio
- I an not really an experienced lifter who needs the heavy work to avoid strength loss.
Hm.
