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.

10 minutes on the elliptical and then about 30 minutes of free weights and 20 minutes on the MACHINES (lateral and chest press). I've been trying to mix it up with new kinds of exercises as pretty much everybody recommends, but it is a bit sad to get into a groove with one I really like one week and then drop it.

Definitely feeling better now! Pushups and yoga achieved.

Sore from yesterday's strength training and had a long day at work. I warme dup and spent 10 minutes doing stretches and some bodyweight stuff, but just couldn't do any more.

[rydra_wong]

You probably know this, but it's generally a bad idea to do strength training on consecutive days anyway (at least of the same body parts) -- your muscles need the recovery time to rebuild themselves. So it's a good idea to mix it up.

[yvi]

I know this and it wasn't the same body parts - legs and back instead of shoulders and arms.

And well, only 10 minutes anyway. Meh.

*commiserates* Some days it's just not happening.
