Thursday, September 30, 2010, Check-In

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post!

Fourteen people have signed up so far over at the October Challenge Declaration. The Challenge starts tomorrow! Let us know your plans!

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 some power yoga for 27 minutes, at which point the poses got too challenging for me and I turned off the DVD. The next time I do this particular video, I'm going to try to find some ways to modify the poses so I don't just give up.

It could be worth posting in [community profile] sun_salutation and asking about the poses that are challenging for you right now -- there are lots of standard modifications and alternatives.

Yoga Journal's pose index often lists modifications for each pose.
