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.

While I have free time over the next two weeks, I'm sticking in extra practice sessions whenever I can. This morning I did the Good Morning set, Challenging level, from Barbara Benagh's Power Yoga for Every Body. Nothing in this set should be difficult - these are poses I do every single day - but in the practice each pose is moved into slowly, and held (it seems) forever. So you really feel like you've done a significant workout by the time the 40 minutes are over! I do, anyway :)

30+ min walk. Will try to squeeze in a light 20-30 min yoga video later as my back's still tight.

A bunch of slower-paced yoga -- revisiting some old favourite podcasts.

Yoga, about an hour.

Quick (late) entry:

Walked 10 km through the snow/slush, and did the standard 75 minutes strength training + stretching program in the gym. No spectacular results there, except maybe managing five push-ups on the low bench (40cm).

Crossfit - the exact workout escapes me at this point.
