exercise_every_dayHey, EED community!
Check-in! Have a wonderfuly, healthy and happy 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.

It's often advised as a rule of thumb that you shouldn't work the same muscle groups on consecutive days, at least not in the same ways -- your muscles need a good 24 hours or to repair themselves and get stronger.
Pilates can be pretty serious strength stuff, so even if you're doing this primarily as cardio, you might find that doing something else for a day helps you come back to it "fresher".
