Basement Workout Room

Hydrangeas and Peonies

Hi Guys,

It's been a while since I last talked to you. I hope you are all well and excited for spring to begin next week.

We had a whopping 79 inches of snow in Boston this winter. At times it was hard to get out and about.

My husband and I took this opportunity to create a workout room in the basement. We have muscle building weight equipment as well as two stationary bikes.

My husband mounted a flat screen TV above the fireplace mantle so we can workout with the Wii or just watch our favorite shows while riding one of the bikes.

You will notice the flowers in the fireplace. Well, it is not a real fireplace. It is just a big empty black hole in the wall. I made a flower arrangements of peonies and hydrangeas to put in the fireplace's empty space.

In the winter I will put candles in there.

I love my workout area and use it everyday. Think about a spot in your home, maybe an unused bedroom, or your own basement, where you can put at least one piece of workout equipment. I found out just how important it is to get into a regular exercise routine. It not only keeps your body in shape, but also helps with depression, arthritis, osteoporosis, and many other physical and mental ailments. Regular exercise just makes you feel better about yourself.

That's my tip for today.
