    Can you explain what you’re posting here? I’m new to the group for July.

    It isn't something the group does, it's just something I do. It's just a shorthand to identify the types of exercise I've done. I was annoyed by how my news feed would always say something very general about my exercise. So was a friend, who started posting a breakdown using emojis to indicate the activity. I liked that idea and found some emojis to use for my activities.
    So, for example, today my news feed might say (Mondays are a heavy exercise day for me):
    burned 1,833 calories doing 238 minutes of cardio exercises, including "Aerobics, general"
    And here in fact is what I did:
    🧘‍♂️20 min; 💪26 min; 💗55 min; 🤽‍♂️50 min; 🏊‍♂️900 yds/30 min; 🚶‍♂️3.17 mi/57 min; 👣12,321 steps
    And here is what those emojis stand for:
    • 🧘‍♂️yoga and/or pilates - did 20 minutes of yoga today
    • ☯ t'ai chi - not today
    • 💪 strength training - did 26 minutes of strength training today
    • 💗 cardio - did 55 minutes of general cardio today (a Silver Sneakers class at my gym)
    • 🤽‍♂️ aquafit - did 50 minutes of water aerobics today (another class at my gym)
    • 🏊‍♂️ swimming - swam 900 yards in 30 minutes today
    • 🚴‍♂️ cycling - not today
    • 🚶‍♂️ walking - walked 3.17 miles in 57 minutes today
    • 👣 steps - got in ~12,321 steps today.

    I keep track of all this in a spreadsheet. I'm handy with formulas, so I am able to create various summaries of the things I track. I have an expanded version of this list of activities, but when I do a lot of various activities, the expanded version won't fit on one line:
    🧘‍♂️yoga/pilates:20 min; 💪strength:26 min; 💗cardio:55 min; 🤽‍♂️aquafit:50 min; 🏊‍♂️swim:900 yds / 30 min; 🚶‍♂️walk:3.17 mi / 57 min; 👣12,321 steps

    Feel free to use these emojis, or others, or just be more verbose, or just post your total. There's no one way to do it.
