UPDATE: girly home gym completed

[gdad]

@kashanali897 So cute! My cat sometimes watches me workout too. Most likely irritated that I’m not giving him pets

 

[kashanali897]

@gdad lol! You better pet that poor neglected (it it’s mind) baby between sets

 

[gdad]

@kashanali897 Haha most of the time I do. One time he laid on my mat when I was doing squats. I made sure to pet his hand every rep.

 

[kashanali897]

@gdad Omg I love it!

 

[penguinpower]

@kashanali897 I love this! I do need to see more pictures of those lovely animals though

 

[kashanali897]

@penguinpower Haha you should see my camera roll 90% them, 7% screen shots, 3% me

@kashanali897 Very nice, it looks a really calm space to workout.

 

[kashanali897]

@feelslikebrick Thanks! That’s what I was going for

@kashanali897 Put a squat rack in there and I'll be there.

....bbbbuuuuuut. I won't stop talking about "getting swole bro" or insisting you "feel how strong" and squeeze my arms.

I'm not sure when satire of gymbros become who I am. But, it's in my soul now.

 

[kashanali897]

@dawn16 Lollll!!! I want a squat rack so bad but I really don’t want to deal with the hassle of moving it eventually. One day though

 

[dawn16]

@kashanali897 I love the aesthetics. Forget the public gym, I'll be working out at OP's gym from now on.

 

[kashanali897]

@dawn16 Lol we should have more girly gyms like this in public haha

 

[dawn16]

@kashanali897 Oh I love it. I want to nap in there!

 

[kashanali897]

@dawn16 Sometimes I just go in there and chill with my pets on the floor since it’s so spacious LOL

@kashanali897 I love the lights! We're buying and moving into our first house soon so I'm here for the inspo

How do you find working out on carpet? I'm curious as I currently have laminate flooring in our living room, where I work out, and I've heard mixed things about exercising on softer/fuzzier surfaces.

 

[kashanali897]

@separatedsince2009 Thanks! The lights that came with the ivy weren’t enough so I had to buy more.

As for the carpet I personally don’t mind. If I’m doing abs or on my back I use my thick mat to help pad my spine. For yoga I use my yoga mat for extra grip. Since I have pets my apartment complex rips out the carpet when I move out and replace it so I don’t mind getting it messy

 

[separatedsince2009]

@kashanali897 Thanks! From what I hear, it's not that much of a difference (carpet vs hard), but takes some getting used to either way. I love these home gym threads so hope to see more in the future

@separatedsince2009 I had carpet in my previous apartments. It is grippier than hardwood and tile obviously. Obviously, some things do give you rug burn, so you learn quickly what you can and can’t do without putting down a yoga mat first.
