Home Gym

Running behind on blogging yet again...

The boys are very much aware of the exercise that Brian and I do, and they've been to most of the races we've participated in. The only equipment we have at home is my sister's MIL's OLD treadmill and a few hand weights. The boys got creative not long ago and set up their own home gym and worked their way through some circuit training. I wouldn't quite close down the Curves for Women or Snap Fitness facilities just yet, but for these boys, it worked!


The barbell made of two milk jugs filled with dirt duct taped to a wooden rod.

It's always best to lift while eating a sucker.

Matt got smart and put some old couch cushions beneath him.

Pumping iron - believe it or not, this thing weighs 20 lbs!

Sit-ups with dumbbells

He's working it.

Kettlebell

Adam doing some form of a push-up

Ben & his buddy

Jumping jacks on the bed

The timer app they used. After each 20 second circuit they would hustle to the next station.
