Monday, November 8, 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.

My social calendar yesterday meant walking two miles from my house in Nunhead to a pub in Greenwich, about another mile's worth of walking around the Greenwich Royal Park, another mile to a house party in Deptford, and about 1.5 miles home. Total: 5.5 miles (some in the rain! boo!).

40 Days of Yoga, Day 39

I was a bit sore this morning from the rigors of yesterday's practice, so I went for what I call the Mellowness set. Two hours, lots of breath work, meditation, my instructor's soothing voice and calming presence. A very nice start to a busy day, week, and work period.

morning sun salutations. I can't wait until later this week when I can add "walked the dog" to that!

Yoga first thing this morning, 35 minutes. The end of daylight savings made it much easier to get up this morning!

[shanaqui]

Very quiet yoga, but mostly I spent the day in bed (and have started, finally, to feel better).

The return of the strength training :)

25 minutes of some basic arm weight lifting: flies and reverse flies, overhead push, biceps curls and bench presses

[rydra_wong]

Morning yoga, then the new Monday workout (kettlebell and clubbell fun) for an hour. I managed 5 whole Cossack squats this time!

[zennish]

Deadlifts and way too many burpees.
