September 3, 2010, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

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.

Just 67 situps and a long-ish walk with the dog today. The weather is changing, so some old joint injuries are flaring up. SIGH.

[rydra_wong]

I don't think the word "just" is applicable there *g*. Hope the weather is kinder to your joints soon!

[zanzando]

Hee. Thank you! The weather should be clearing up soon.

Admittedly I'm doing the 200 situps program and started with Week 1, Day 1 even though my initial test result was 114. *sheepish*
Then again, I used to shot put competitively (... 6 years ago.).

I stand in awe of your push-up program (mostly because I hate push-ups, haha). Will probably start the 100 push-up sequence tomorrow. :)

[rydra_wong]

See, I'm not nearly disciplined enough for the 100 push-ups program.

The one thing I'm consistent about is climbing (okay, and yoga); everything else gets fitted in around that according to whim. So I'll spend a day doing nothing but push-ups, then not do any for a week ...

[zanzando]

Oooh climbing! I wish I could do that. :(

[rydra_wong]

You probably could! Unless your joints do not permit.

[rydra_wong]

Morning yoga, then off to the gym for barbell lifts (and dips and pull-ups). I think all the push-ups are having a positive effect on my bench press, which was marginally less awful today.

Will probably try to do some more yoga later.

40 minute brisk walk this morning - yay for cooler weather!

[shanaqui]

Started the day with a yoga practice with a lot of backbends, and ran. I'll do more yoga later.

This morning: elliptical machine, stretches.
This afternoon: long yoga session with emphasis on breathing and meditation. Bliss.
