Wednesday, October 6, 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.

40 Days of Yoga, Day 6

[just_ann_now]

Didn't realize that by "Invigorating", Barbara Benagh (Yoga for Beginners dvd) actually meant, "Backbendy". I'm invigorated, yes, but ow ow ow.

16 minutes of 30 Day Shred. my first time attempting level 3. Jillian is NOT playing around. walking later to make up for turning the DVD off early. :)

Morning yoga, shadow yoga class.

More yoga may happen later, or not.

ETA: Yoga did not happen. Overhead presses happened. My exercise routine is a never-ending source of surprises.

Pilates got cancelled - teacher threw out her back. Hoping to ditch early and catch a vinyasa class. If not, it'll be home practice and pull ups.

Two miles run/walk, crunches and pushups, stretches. Weather has gone from brain-frying heat to OMG where's my running hoodie? in one week. Must start shopping for cool-weather running gear.

[raletha]

~1 mile walk, free weights for upper body. Congestion is clearing (Yay for oxygen!), so will do the same walk again this afternoon.

[shanaqui]

Yoga and situps, today.

[resolute]

Today at the Y, recumbant biking, then brief rowing -- which made my twingey shoulder TWINGE -- so I finished up with five minutes on the Arc Trainer. No weights today. But fifteen minutes of stretching!

[zats_clear]

sun salutations in am plus 30 minute walk

I don't suppose frantic house cleaning/shopping/dinner making/getting kids out the door to soccer counts as aerobics, does it?

no. I didn't think so!

[semielliptical]

Yoga practice in the evening, about 45 minutes.

[thene]

Taking yesterday off did me good; my run was yay today. I meant to do some lifting today too but I somehow doubt it's going to happen.

[willful_zephyr]

Found some time to do a good long home yoga practice this evening. Also got in some pull ups.

[zennish]

Crossfit again.

[silentflux]

Did some weights/cardio/yoga during the commercial breaks tonight :)

[zhelana]

walked my doggies for 20 minutes. It's still HOT outside though!
