In 1999 I had taken part in a fitness challenge called the "Body For Life". My wife joined me in the exercise plan. I was 46 years old in time and had not been a person that consistently worked out...ever. We made a decision to do this system as we had been inspired by a video presentation which showed a range of different people who had successfully transformed the systems of theirs in under 12 weeks.
This was a place in my life when every other component of my life was moving along well. I was fairly effective in business & prospering financially. My wife and I had been happy and had a great family life with our 3 kids. Something was absent for me however which was I did not appear to be great about the way the body of mine seemed. I was not extremely overweight however, the body of mine was flabby and I didn't stand out in a bathing suit..
After my wife and I decided to carry out the system with each other we became dedicated and after twelve days I were totally different than I did prior to. When I watched the results that I have I thought we would make fitness a regular part of my life for good.
For the very last 11 years we have been members of 4 various gyms. After a lot of years we decided that due to our schedules and the fact that we weren't able to workout together we will create a small home gym. It has been among the best decisions we have made since beginning the workout lifestyle of ours. We're now able to workout together and see more of each other throughout the week.
We started out by buying a weight bench in a garage sale for 5 bucks. We by now had a good treadmill which was our only piece of gym equipment at the time. Next we began buying dumb bells, a couple of at a time, unless we'd a good size selection. We bought an elliptical trainer (cheap) and a couple of those exercise balls. We added some exercise bands and we were just about set.
The only place we'd storage space to set up the gym was in our garage. To coat the concrete floor we went to the local "feed" store and then bought 3 "stall mats". These were just aproximatelly 40 dollars apiece and turned out really effectively for dumb bell training as they are durable and provide a great cushion for dropping weights. Stall mats are what they use for horses to stand on in horse trailers as well as horse stalls.
In our new workout room we are able to do just about anything we need to do to keep in best physical condition as well as the magnificence of it is we usually visit exercise together so we never have to leave the convenience of our home.
If you're like us and are on a low budget and leanbean diet also you don't want to pay the money on gym memberships, or simply want to continue to be home to avoid the "meat market" aura of the gym, consider creating a home exercise area. It's not difficult to do.
