Exercising In Our New Home
Despite all my years I still feel like a little boy within. I have a hard time looking in the mirror and seeing a fully realized mature man. I might have believed the birth of my 2nd child might have altered it, but I still seem to be in denial of the aging process.
In regards to aging — or instead putting it off — my wife and I moved into a new home and this house has space in the basement for a home gym my wife has always wanted. Of course, I’m seeing dollar signs when I brainstorm the many large and tiny things required, from the essential but often forgotten benches for weight-lifting and excercise mat to deciding on the most reliable of the many stationary bicycles.
Exercise bikes can be tricky now a days. Do you go with an upright or a recumbent bike? Should you select an analog or digital?
My dear wife seems determined to get an elliptical machine too. Yes you understood that right. An exercise bicycle and an elliptical machine — not one or the other. My estimate is that the extra exercise equipment will go with the cream for stretch marks she started utilizing after the birth of youngest child. I may regret that joke.
I have to be deliberate with the budget because our new house is a bit more of a diamond in the rough. We wanted it to be this way, yet we still must cautiously budget every little thing, even to a knob for a cabinet (I’m not jesting). My wife has an ambitious kitchen cabinet refacing design projected, but must remind her the sink for the bathroom she desires put in shall set us back a fair amount, as well.
Thankfully, we both appreciate the natural, rustic style, so we are furnishing our new home with furniture which is unfinished. It still requires some polishing off, but we can keep the costs down and make higher quality furniture than we might purchase in any store.
I recently uncovered a good table for coffee with some decent, natural knotting and a entryway table in matching mahogany. For our outdoor patio we are exploring an outdoor fireplace and we’ll furnish with some inexpensive wicker furnitures at first.
Supplying a brand new home seem so mature, but I can’t help but sense I am just playing house. The exercise equipment and furniture just feel as a new era of playthings.
