Home Gym

Well we got a home gym this week! My husband has been scouring the city, looking for the best deals around. He did a great job people!


This is part of it. The most I could capture in one shot.


Starting from the left: kettle bell, power blocks, and free weights.


Our yoga gear. Power blocks and mats. I like to do yoga about once a week, just to keep my muscles loose.


This is our squat rack. There is a lat pull down and a seated row (there are different handles that go with the cable machine. So you could do bicep curls, tricep extensions, etc.).


Not sure what this one is called. But you can do a hanging back extension and hanging sit ups. This machine is killer!


Here is where we do pull ups. I love working on my pull ups. I can do about three in a row, then I have to switch to jumping pull ups.


There is a roman chair on the other side of the pull up machine. There are also handles that you can use for tricep dips.


Starting on the left: rower, bench, and Drew's bike that he has on a stand, so he can ride it inside during the winter.

Things that went unmentioned so far: punching bag, plyo boxes, medicine balls, and swiss ball.

We're moving to a home we're building now. It won't be ready till October, but in our gym there, we're planning to install mirrors on most of the walls. Can't wait for that. It's so nice to see your form when you're doing an exercise. I would argue that it's vital.

I am still going to keep a gym membership. I like having the variety of all the equipment a commercial gym contains.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Gotta get some school work done now.

  4. The machine you don't know the name of is a glute ham raise! It's an awesome exercise for strengthening the hamstrings :-)
