work out room

Welcome to my work out room, y'all!
What's shaking?
Smile

Cool curtain - lets in the light
(Much needed)

Pull-up bar over the door.
P90X style... still can't do one chins-up.

1950's Belt Shaker prominently displayed.
Monster Drink Art work optional,
but highly recommended.

Master Bedroom holds alot of stuff equipment.
[15 x 12 + two big closets!]
Not bad for an apartment!

Yoga pad, little hand weights.... push-up things
Gloves, all that jazz.... 

Bike has a trainer for winter work.
In this case, resistance is a good thing!

Note the "big butt" gel seat! Cushy!
Just sayin'...

Weights and resistance bands, weighted vest...

So far, I can lift the bar! 
With perfect form; no cheating.
Working my way up to actual weights.

The bouncer -
Catch ya on the rebound, baby!

Gym quality treadmill

Folds up for storage...

Sleeping on the run....

Treadmill, weights, bike, and trainer - 
all came from craigslist!
 1950's belt-shaker came from ebay.....

My Nursing hours are so crazy -
I didn't want to go to the gym at all hours 
of the day and night. I know myself by now;
this way is much easier for me!

I'm currently budgeting for a wall-mounted TV,
so I can watch "Scrubs" and "Law and Order"
 while I beat my feet.... so to speak! 
For now, the iPod does nicely.

Shake, Shake, Shake....
YouTube video 

Hope your day is wonderful with lots of happy fun and joy!

  6. Cool room, Anne. You are my hero and I hope to emulate you soon with our spare bedroom. I also want to add a television to ours and a dvd player so I can use some of my workout DVDs in there. I am so green with envy right now. Love it and you. :)

  17. Great gym room Anne. Sometimes I wish we had the room for one but I don't think I'm dedicated enough to use it. Hope you have a great day!

  18. Very cool workout room! Mine has a TV, a treadmill, and a ton of stuff that we use for our business. I spent quite a bit of time in there today trying to make it look more like a workout room and less like a craft show catch-all. :)

    Hugs,
    Mary

  19. I'm envious you get a whole room.

  20. I am envious. Now, I want a home gym. I will have to set a future plan for that (for when we move), cause hubby has started exercising a bit and I want us to grow old(er) with strength and vitality.

    Enjoy the gym, Annie!!!! Sending a dose of happy juice to you via these electrons!

  22. That 50's Belt Shaker brought back a flood of memories! My Mom had one when I was a little kid, and I remember we kids would love to turn it on, get in it, then talk with our voices all funny... like on your video. :-D

    Those belt shakers make me laugh. What a hoot.

  24. I want your treadmill!!! what kind is it, where did you get it? Just askin...my elliptical folds up for storage too, which is good because those suckers are HUGE! I want to add a fold-up treadmill soon! Hope u get that TV, vegging out infront of it while working out is awesome, especially if you dont look at the clock :-D

  25. Very nice room! But is that how your chin up bar goes? Mine wedges into the doorway itself, because if mine was like yours I would rip the door off the hinges! ;-)

  33. It is great when you can use every chance for exercising, because fitness is my real passion! I train whenever I can - at home, at work and in the gym. To provide my body with enough nutrition for my active lifestyle I am taking Multipurpose High-Potency Super Nutritional Complex. It is a dietary supplement manufactured by Military Grade, that gives me huge supply of energy. My physical capacities increase substantially. I am feeling toned and always ready for new workouts.
