Every Day in DECEMBER ?! Join in for a head start on 2022 - ALL welcome!!


Welcome to the Every Day Checkin!
We are a small group who aim to do some form of physical activity every day, whatever that means for YOU (but don't kid yourself about it either)

Let's see this year out the way we want to start the next one - BIG!

NEWCOMERS, RETURNERS, LURKERS,... might as well say:

EVERYONE
is WELCOME!



Daily posts - not mandatory, nor even "sternly preferred" - but we love it if you do.
Weekly posts, drive-by notes, daily essays all about you.... any of those are perfectly fine - no pressure, EXCEPT to diligently try to add serious movement to your day - every day.

Lexicon:
WERD = Well Earned Rest Day, but even rest days can include movement
TERD = Totally Expected Rest Day, though not especially well-earned, like a planned happy event
TURD = Totally Unexpected Rest Day, hopefully also a happy event
HERD = of TURDS - usually declared after the THIRD TURD in a row. Try to avoid these at all costs, as they can move in & get comfortable, getting OUT of your comfort zone is the way to make change happen

YIKES ....it's already the third

So I better get cracking and post my workouts. Before I get too far behind!

12/1/2021: AM: 1.25 miles on the tread (forget who I did --- Peloton I'm sure!) PM: Macebell 10 mins. + 30 mins. Jess King Elton John walk on the tread, row 20 mins. (The one that didn't count towards Hydrow since it kicked me out with 3 or 4 mins. to go. Now I've done it, all is right with the hydrow world.)

12/2/2021: Run 3.25 miles with Jermaine somebody on Peloton (new instructor - JJ), 5 mins. core with Emma, 5 mins. runner's stretch

12/3/2021: 45 minutes hike with Kirsten Ferguson (used 10, 12, 14 & 15 incline ) then followed with a 15 mins. recovery run with Becs Gentry for another little over a mile, 10 mins. cool down ride with Bradley Rose (cuz I just missed him ) and 2 hours of pickleball

In case you saw a theme - I have joined a 3 miles daily for the month of December challenge. (Robin Arzon). She says you can walk, run, crawl... but it should be 6000 steps and 30 mins. Well, I can't get 3 miles in in 30 mins, but I'm doing my best and working the challenge at 3 miles a day

Today? In all honesty was supposed to be 20-20-20 (20 tread, 20 bike, 20 row) ... I figure that's gotta count, but somehow, decided, "WHY NOT TRY A HIKE?" Good grief! what was I thinking???

The macebell workout I chose was all lunges (forward, backwards, sideways) with bow and arrow arms to a row .... Interesting and holy mackeral was I sore the next day (yesterday!) I also think I can do this one in the house without taking out the ceiling light/fan.

Waves to all. Hope the DOMs isn't too bad tomorrow. Gotta run .....
Waves to all. Makin' December count!

Just checking in

Waves to all! Just checking in as time has that funny way of getting away from us. I worked yesterday, so got my 3 miles in before work and then vegged all afternoon when I got home watching movies ....

12/4/2021: 10 mins. Warm up run, 30 mins. Endurance run with Matt, 5 mins. core with Emma, 5 mins. post run stretch with Matt.

Matt gives the BEST running pointers. I do enjoy doing his workouts for form, pointers, etc. Along with his power zone rides, I feel like he is the most professional and really like doing his runs/rides.

that's it. i'm a little tired today. . . .
Questionable weather on the way for this week.
Here comes winter. . . with wintry mixes. Bah humbug.

Cleda - I think I've only done 1 hike with Peloton and it kicked my butt! I didn't even think about the 3 mile challenge, too much going on this month.

12/4 & 12/5 TURDS!
I expected it yesterday, since that was our yearly party, but today I'm just wiped out from lack of sleep. We were up late and I woke up super early. I did go back to bed for a little bit, but I am just out of whack. Tomorrow is a new day and I will hit it hard!
