Does anyone want to do a daily check-in?

[supernova]

just to check off you exercised? This sound silly, but I need help doing it more than 3x a week. I think it would help if I had to mark it off somehow.

Anbody else interested in a daily encouragement?

1. My first thought was, no, then I'd have to be sure to exercise every day!

But that's exactly the point, isn't it? Or at least to be able to report a rest day when all the days of the week aren't rest days!

So I'm in if there's enough interest! Thanks!

8. Thanks!

This group has actually got me inspired to get busy. I hope to have something to report back later today! :D

2. A daily "exercise brag" is fine with me. I do that on another board too.

3. Okay, I'm up for it. I did 1 hr. pilates today.

I wanted to do cardio but I feel like I'm coming down with something. (upset stomarch) There are so many sick people at work and a sick person at home I can't get away from sickness. Either that or I just worked out a bit too hard yesterday.

4. I'm in. Today was back/lats for me.

1 hour in and out. I'm a little sore now. Did a little trap work (shrugs on the Hammer Strength, etc) cuz I was feeling a little bold.

Tomorrow is (drum roll, please)...leg day. Bring the pain.

5. got started yesterday

here's my story-
i had a y membership and a work out partner for a while, and it was great. she had the nerve to get pregnant, and feel rotten. i also caught west nile virus, which i still have not entirely gotten over. (2001) i was doing really well, then lost it all. so, i have been pretty bad since. i dropped the membership, and bought a gazelle in the spring. i have used it about twice before yesterday.
part of buying the gazelle was a deal with the hubby to relent on getting a big screen tv. i said if i can have an exercise machine, so the i can watch movies and workout, ok. so, i don't watch as many movies as i wanted to, either.
well, yesterday, i watched "a clockwork orange" and did 45 min. of an easy paced walk. i ended up with a slightly sore calf muscle, which i thought was not a bad price for pushing it on the first day.
i have been doing some work on my house that has been physical, so that has helped to get me off the ground, also. so, i was tiling today, and will try to work out tomorrow.
i, personally, don't really like the idea of working out EVERY day. i think that at least 3, preferably 4 days a week is about all i can squeeze in. especially early on, it give muscles a chance to heal, and helps to prevent injuries. at least for me. i never liked perfect as a goal in anything, anyway. counterproductive.

9. Leg day today (Sunday).

No cardio.
4 sets of leg presses (free weight sled) together w/toe presses;
4 sets hamstring curls;
4 sets leg extensions;
4 sets seated calf raises;
5 sets standing calf raises.

12. Long slow run day...

I did 80 mins on the treadmill, a mix of jogging & walking. Wrapped up with 20 mins of walking at a 6% incline to keep heart rate around 65% before the cool down.

Mixed in throughout the day - strength training with body weight only.

80 pushups
150 double crunches
40 triangle pushups (putting hands together for the pushups)
75 decline crunches
100 squats
40 lunges each leg (I don't like 'em, but they work!)
100 side leg lifts
50 bicycle crunches

10. I just did a 15 minute run

(both today and yesterday). I ran 2 miles (8mph). It's actually not very challenging for me, but I thought I take it easy because my left calf muscle was feeling rather funny after I did 4 miles at 8mph a few days ago. On Friday, I did some arms, chest, and back exercises with weight. Tomorrow I want to try doing a 6 minute mile, which I have never tried to do before.

11. Works for me!

I, too, do a daily checkin at another site. That one has been rather dead lately, with only a couple posting in, so it will be nice to have somewhere else where more people post!!

13. i think it is counter-productive...

for some reason, my weight yo-yos something fierce from one day to the next and it was a real bummer when i did weigh in daily and i gained four or five pounds.

14. I was talking about exercise check-in

not a weigh-in. :-)
