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.

Elliptical machine this morning, Rodney Yee coming up tonight. My daughter asked if we could do some Rodney Yee yoga next week while she's visiting - she hasn't been interested in yoga in years. Excellent!

Morning yoga, two hours climbing (I GOT THE RED TRAVERSE, W00T!).

Swimming!

Yoga, full twenty minutes, followed promptly by resistance bands. I'm not sure if my mistake was in doing the resistance bands when I just did them yesterday or in doing the resistance bands when I just did twenty minutes of yoga, because I barely made it through a full set on the very light band, and I know I'm capable of more than that, I did a full set on the light band yesterday.

Nothing yesterday which sorta blows the "exercise everyday in December", but I can still try to "exercise 30 days in December".

Today was the last of the 4 weekly free kettlebell workouts at my gym. No plans yet to offer any more regular training. They really get your heartrate moving. Learned a modified clean&jerk and how to do Turkish get-ups. Discovered that I am an absolute wimp on one side of my body compared to the other. May have to do those more if I can get access to them at the gym (they're locked up).

Yoga after work, 30 minutes.
