@evachristine Home gyms are the best!! I WISH I had a squat rack and treadmill like you do
The best part is that you can work out in your underwear during hot summer days and nobody would be the wiser, LOL!
I get up at 4AM to get my workouts in cause my work day starts at 6AM. I love the convenience of a home gym and not having to drive anywhere that early in the morning. I have stayed consistent in my workouts because of this routine and I've gotten used to this schedule, as long as I go to bed early. By the time I get off work, I don't have to worry about being wiped out from a busy work day and then having to rush to a crowded gym to fight over machines and weights.
I have a Les Mills weight set, an adjustable dumbbell set and a spin bike (although I do also have a gym membership) and I love that anytime I feel like working out, I have everything at my fingertips. I only go to the gym to take the group ex classes when I'm feeling extroverted and don't really even use their equipment if I'm being honest. Maybe I might go on the treadmill but I hate that when I run I breathe like Darth Vader so that's usually a no go.
Ignore your co-worker and the naysayers. Embrace what you have...we're here to support you!
