With the big kid off to college and me feeling that the living room isn’t the best place to workout – we have decided to turn the big kid’s room into a home gym.
The benefits of this are numerous – I can work out without being oggled by young’ins, or having to listen to them complain because they can’t play their video games until I’m done. I can put in hard wood flooring and a workout mat so that my workouts are more productive and also so I can do different types of workouts (ZuMba!) I can have one place to keep all of my gym equipment and that will keep little ones from touching my stuff and dogs from eating it 🙂 yay! I am positive that this room will become my safe haven and a place where I can truly challenge myself daily and reach my fitness goals.
Did you notice how I kept saying “I” in all of those sentences? It is NOT “Merideth’s Gym”. The entire family can utilize it. I just think I will be using it the most 😉 !
I have been all over Pinterest on this project and here are some of the things I envision:



Ready to go buy some paint and order my wall decals! Big kid can use the couch until the murphy bed is installed 🙂
