A few weeks ago, I wrote a post on my blog about how 2020 was a tough year for my body but I’m ready to get back in the fitness game a suit. It’s the first few days of the year when I’m completely dry, I’ve been working out all morning, and I’ve been eating really well…
Setting Up Home Gyms For Fitness
Cut to next week when an unprecedented storm blew through my town, toppling trees in my yard, knocking down several houses, and cutting power to more than one. weeks. I spent a few days in my frozen house, internet and no electricity before giving up and going to LA to house sit for a friend who was out of town. I came back a few days later and spent a few hours cleaning up the mess from being inactive for a week (you’d be surprised how dirty your house gets when you can’t see anything because there is no light). A few hours later a storm started that ended up dumping 10′ feet of snow on my house, trapping me inside (at one point I just gave up shoveling because the snow was coming faster than I could Voluntarily removed and I was cold and wet for the last few days).

The snowstorm drama ended when I dug a hole out of my garage, walked some snowmobile tracks with a bunch of bags on my back while my dog pulled me up the hill, and got from two aunts who lived for an hour. will be taken to a warm place and (GASP) the internet!
This story is not all that relevant to what I want to talk about today – how to create a fun, active gym that will make you want to work. But it has to do with a point that I think is important when it comes to fitness: give yourself a break when you need it. What did I do when I was locked in my cold house with no way to heat food? I eat whatever non-perishable junk food I have lying around that doesn’t need to be heated (

). With no water and no way to shower, my desire to lift weights in my gym dwindled. And what do you do when the sun goes down at 4:30 p.m., your house is pitch black, and you don’t have a cell phone because the tower has collapsed? Drink wine and think about the past when you were a puppy, duh!
Creating The Perfect Luxury Gym Set Up At Home
My full-time job, working out and eating well outside the window (remember that the storm kept me out of my house for days and without electricity or heat – my neighbors who have been here for 30 years say nothing like it has happened all the time they have been here). But I think for many of us that is what 2020 is. Every time we pick up the stress from the last disaster, another disaster comes after it, making it difficult for us to be as brave, dedicated, and healthy as we need to be. . And this is why it is so important not to forgive ourselves to not only be our best selves all the time, but also to congratulate ourselves for the experience. against us we have seen in only through really bad times.
A lot of people find themselves not being very healthy by the end of 2020, and I know that weight gain is a symptom. I’ve had my fair share of body dysmorphic and low self-esteem issues, so I want to be careful about what I say about all of this. I’m not going to make the 30 pounds I’ve gained as a bad thing – I really think I’m fine and I’m more frustrated that my clothes don’t fit than I want to be thicker. For me, exercise is exactly what I need. Normal, depressed, just say seriously. So in seeking to cure my depression health 2020, I have tried to start from a place of self-acceptance and become healthy through a more supportive, emotional of the brain. And I want that common sense to be reflected in my home gym.
Fitness and weight gain is something I have struggled with for a very long time. The first diet I went to was when I was 12 years old. And since then I have had a better relationship with my body, my body is normal, and my body has no desire to gain weight. As an adult, I never could
Have been on a certain diet or exercise regimen. And one of the gifts 2020 brought is that I fell completely off the wagon and it gave me some distance to think about what the best thoughts for my own health should be. yes.

The first thing I had to overcome when starting to plan my gym was guilt. I think many of us have this feeling that we feel guilty about spending time and money on things that seem to benefit ourselves. I can also hear my parents voice in my ear saying things like “Do you want a 1500 TL SET???” Like many people, my finances were all over the place during Covid so spending a lot of money at the gym was a bit scary. But my work, my whole business, and everything I earn depends on my ideas, my attitude, my leadership, and my energy. And all of this depends on me being happy, healthy, and able to be AF.
It can’t be good when your body is stressed because you’re not eating well and not exercising enough. So while it felt irresponsible to spend thousands of dollars to spruce up this room in my house, I knew I had to or I would never get out of my 2020 funk. And if I don’t get out of my 2020 recession I won’t get out of my 2020 unemployment.
So, I came to build my gym with one goal in mind: fun and well. I want my gym to be silly, inviting, bright, colorful, and inspiring. Which brings me to the reason I brought you all here today!
. Remember, I came up with these based on who I am and how I workout. Some of you may be more into yoga or cycling, or other forms of exercise than me, so your gym may look very different. But for me, combining these essentials has made my gym a place where I’m happy to spend time. Follow the reasons why not you and see what they are!

My first memory of gyms is one of my high school, which was more like a prison than a prison (stone, rust, no windows) and an office small in Yosemite, which is less difficult but has a dangerous, bright. lights that make you question your desire whenever you enter. So I knew I wanted my gym to be colorful, bright, and happy. I know if I don’t put it in a room that gets a lot of sunlight I don’t want to go in there. That’s why I chose the smallest bedroom on the south (sunniest) side of my house. I know it’s a luxury to have a room in your house to turn into a playroom. But I think that these tips can be combined in the smallest of places, from a corner of your bedroom to the parking lot – the most important thing is to give some time and want to make your office beautiful so you will enjoy using it. time in it.
As an incredibly last-chosen-to-the-team kid, all sports have always felt ridiculous and over my head somehow. And that kind of carried over into my adult life until I started going to gyms on my own and trying to work things out. I’m not a “Fitspo” expert or anything, but I grew to enjoy working out when I got over the awkwardness from years and years of childhood trauma. I think some people would feel the same way entering the gym, where muscles and traditional heteronormative masculinity are the norm. I want my gym to be like the antithesis of the fear of the gym. So I painted it the color always associated with femininity and gayness, PINK!
