    My Home Gym

    Finally finished putting it together...



    Some of the equipment was bought new, some through Craigslist...got some good deals along the way. The flooring are horse mats, they are 3/4 inch thick...it's laid out in four sections...115 pounds each.

    So my routine...walk the trail really early in the morning...workout in my gym in the afternoon...and go to Planet Fitness at night, mainly for treadmill and elliptical...not everyday though...I do alternate...I don't burn myself out...or hurt myself.

    The more I workout and walk...the more I can eat...

    My right shoulder is not 100%...its an old injury (rotator cuff)...so I struggle on the bench press and shoulder press...but on the others...lats, t-rows, legs, dumbbells. etc...I'm doing pretty good.

    Some of my best workouts is just punching the heavy bag hanging from my avocado tree, lol.

    I'm pretty happy how it came out.

    Hope you guys like it...




    P.S. Been going to a physical therapist for my shoulder...I'm trying to avoid surgery...hopefully that will do the trick.

      Awesome set up Hector. Man, I wish I could save on the gym fees and put something like that together, but with my collector room, I'm just flat out of space. Very, very cool.

            Wow, Hec! Great home gym! And, you have an Avocado tree (impressive in itself)!

            Keep up the super work!

                That is fantastic, Hector. I would love to have a setup at home like that.

                    Wow, can I come over and work out? That is AWESOME! You just need some 80s posters of Heather Thomas to inspire you, and you're good to go.

                    Really, brother, you should be proud!!!!

                        On no...those women exercises can be deceivingly hard...I tried an aerobics class once...and couldn't keep up with them, lol.

                            wow, nice set up. I am looking to get some weight equipment on Craigs list too. I won't go to the gym because I am too lazy, LOL. really it is because I would have to get up at an ungodly hour to get there, workout/exercise and get back to shower before work. I don't have the energy after work so I know that would never happen. I hit the exercise bike every morning for a half hour and if/when I find a good weight set will start that for after work workouts

                              Nice........

                              Really nice set up.

                              I'm working out at my work space these days, also have some kettlebells and dumbells, a Bosu ball and a Swiss ball at home.
