My home gym...

[kluurs]

We have a fair of gym equipment - almost everything can you think of. Sadly, some idiot has a giant CD collection that takes up the basement - which is where many people would have their gym.

As a result, most of the gym equipment is in the upstairs of the garage - which is great - except it gets a bit warm up there. Today, I was assembling a new piece of equipment - always a joy as there were NO written instructions - and I started around 11 a.m. and finished at 4:30. I took a 15 minute break - but here's the good part. It was 112F in the upstairs of the garage.

I was kinda getting a little delusional by the time I decided it was a good time to come back in the house. I had planned to do a run, but that seemed unwise.

Today, is the first day I haven't had a cough. At least part of that may be that I raised my core temperature 10 degrees and fried all of the virus plus another 20% of the few functioning brain cells.

Very glad you are sending Covid to hell. What did you build?

We have a Magnetrainer, a good elliptical and an Airdyne. We use the former most as it’s small enough for the family room. The others are out of service until the basement is finished.

The latest piece of equipment is something called a hip thrust machine - good for glutes and lower back. Of course, I gave myself the usual pep talk of we're going to be meticulous - check things twice - so we don't have to undo anything - and of couse, I ended up having to undo/redu a few things as the instructions were horrencous. There was a video that was slightly more helpful - and between the two, success was achieved - though I have 2 bolts left over - alwaya disheartening - but not worrying as everything seems to work as intended.

The picture will certainly help with.., Never mind! Happy you are kicking this!

Yeah if I were single, one of my lines could be, “wanna come over to my house and work on your hip thrust?”
