costco had the flooring for 12.39 for 8 squares so i decided it was finally time to have everything in one space. it's 300 square feet so i only needed 10 packs of flooring. i saw similar flooring at wal mart for 18.00 for 6 pieces. i am SO excited i HAD to show some pics!!! it's still a work in progress, but at least everything is in one place!

treadmill and elliptical

now, i just have to figure out what my innagural workout will be...
 
oh, the wood and baby gate are to make my pups use the the other door to go out to their area of the basement (with their couches, food, water, doggie door, etc). they were pretty confused at first because since we've lived here they have always gone in and out of the door that is now shut. i had to show them it was the same room, just a different way to go. they're fine now.
 
Congrats, Lorie! It looks really nice. I noticed you have some sort of covering on your dumbbells (it looks pink). What is that? And where did you get it??

Oh, and I vote for BM2 too! Great workout for a great space! :)

Awesome space! HUGE!!!

We had to split our stuff into two areas of the basement (a weight area and a separate cardio area), but I love seeing someone else with all "MY" stuff, too (including the Wal-Mart Gold's Gym bench & squat rack).

Don't you just LOVE our home gyms???? No driving! :7

I vote you do a Slow & Heavy segment (like legs & shoulders) to really try out the new weight bench/squat rack. And then do the Boot Camp cardio segment from 4DS to check out your fabulous new floor for a BIG cardio session! Of course you might have to reverse that order and do the cardio stuff first!
 
That is awesome! I don't think I'd ever leave that room. ;)

I'm jealous. Looks much better than a living room full of dumbbells and golf stuff!

Love the floor. It turned out very nice.

Enjoy!!!
 
well, i decided upon BM2 and was SO SAD that i couldn't do more but i had an 8 AM meeting i had to get to. i'm already thinking about doing something later this afternoon. it was so nice to have all the room i needed to do what i wanted to do and have everything close enough to just grab it when i needed it.

as for the pink wrap, it's just baseball wrap. i got it at sports authority. it's normally in white but they had pink (and i think royal blue) and i thought that would be cute. i wear gloves but i like the tape as well. i think it's more comfortable.

i have had all this equipment but it was always scattered so i didn't really feel like i had my own gym. now, i REALLY DO and i LOVE IT!!! it's like my little sanctuary.
 
Wow! Your new workout room look awesome! Congratulations & enjoy! I was going to ask about that pink wrap too so thanks for answering that question.

(By the way... I'm envious too. Now I'm going to have to start "encouraging" - a.k.a. nagging - my DH to speed up the progress on mine;-):7).
 
I'm SO JEALOUS! I wish I could fit my elliptical in my workout room, which is just a very small spare bedroom. I'd love a nice bench, too. I have one but it's smaller and it doesn't have the barbell rack -- I can't accommodate a piece that big. http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/sad030.gif

I have that exact same fan, positioned directly in front of my elliptical :7
 
Lorie - I'm glad you got your workout room. I can't view the pics from work. Will have to wait until I get home. Hope you enjoy.
 
Very cool. Can I ask where you got the rack that holds your dumb bells. I really need a rack. My weights are in the floor right now.

Looks great! Look at all that room you have! Enjoy it. :) PS I am sending your DVD and flash disk to you this week, hopefully tomorrow. Sorry I've been holding on to it for so long.
