I even ran my two big boys (11 and 12) through workout A.
I've got a squat cage, bench, and about 400 pounds of weights, oly bar and a curl bar. Weights and bars cost me about 200 bucks, the rest, well, let's just say it costs about a year's gym membership, but we'll do it safely.
Now, we'll see if I can figure out this picture thing....

Not sure what you mean? The blinds only go halfway down right now and there is a stained glass piece in the top of one of them....also lots of debris outside, since husband is still working on painting the house!
But thanks...I'm pretty happy with the new stuff.0 -
Lol sorry just looked quite opaque. Nice to have a lovely room with a bay window you can dedicate to lifting though, well jeal!0

I super jealous too... Looks like an amazing set-up! And you'll look really hard core to anybody sneaking a look thru those windows! I wish you were my neighbour!

I wish I had a neighbor to be a lifting buddy!
But, I'm getting my husband and two bigger boys lifting too. My 5 year old is too little, but he does pushups and planks (and pretty good ones at that).0 -

Yeah, they did look weird. Husband used a paint pump to paint the house and was rather careless with the spray so the windows aren't as clear as they would be, that plus dirt, plus the angle of the sun at that hour did make them look rather less than window-like!

Nice setup!0

I'd be terrified to lift with hardwood floors around, but that's a nice setup you've got there!0

The mat is really heavy duty, so I don't think it will be a problem.0 -
I lift from home as well. I haven't been for couple months due to various reasons but I will be starting soon. I'll check out the pictures at home. Work blocks most of it
Happy Lifting!!0 -
I also lift at home :-) having weights .. A bench and a squat rack.
My neighbours can't see in but my window cleaner will .... Obv not whilst I'm lifting lol :-D
I love my little home gym ... I have a treadmill and a bike too ...0 -
fantastic set up! I love the windows, my workout room is in the basement with a small window. I'm trying to talk the hubz into taking over a part of his garage... he's going to benefit from it too 0

My home gym is in the basement. Looks more like a dungeon (old house). This winter my hubby is going to make it a little prettier for me. I might even get him lifting some weights too. :happy:0

I went this route and have never been sorry!
It's also really cool when your son's friends drop by and say "Awesome weight set, dude!" And the son drops his head and says "It's my MOM'S."
Enjoy!!0 -

Basement would have been husband's first choice too, but it's a dirt floor basement, like you, old house.
So, it's in my former dining room!
I've got the husband and two boys lifting now too. None of them can lift the weights I do though!
But, being male, they will surpass me fairly quickly.
Good luck getting your area prettied up!0 -

I am LOVING doing this at home. The gym people may have done me a favor in the long run, but I miss my Yoga class.0 -

I bet NYC is WAY more interesting than Iowa though! 0 -

And here is where I wish there was a "like" button!
My sons will reach that point before too long! 0 -

:bigsmile: Nice!!
My gym is set up in the basement in a room with no windows. Well, there is a very, very small window but, outside it is covered with bushes...so, no light coming through. I painted my room bright yellow just so it looks less dungeon. And, I will be starting my WO in the morning so that will help.0 -

I think my son is envious too. When I upgraded my equipment I sent him pictures. His response.......COOL. He is a 25 year old University Rugby player who trains all the time.0
