Here's our exercise room/therapy/play room we call our sports room. It's not fancy but the family has fun in it. Our basement is unfinished so I put the black tarp up to make a wall and the kids helped me decorate with their artwork. This room has changed through the years. In the beginning it had two baby swings and now in their place is the hanging bar and the single swing. We've added a punching bag we found at a garage sale for a great deal and Mary Jo Lathrop, a local personal trainer, showed us exercises for Corey and I to do. In the background you can see a yellow nubby ball found at the dollar store and two ball balancers found at a garage sale. Other things you can't see in the picture are the $5 foosball table and $3 tabletop basketball game found at garage sales in pretty good condition. We also have tennis rackets, baseball, exercise ball, hand ball, swoosh ball game, jumping ropes, and other miscellaneous sports equipment. For safety we added the mats. Making a special room for your kids and you to exercise and have fun doesn't have to cost alot of money and it is well worth the time and effort.
I'd love to see your special rooms you've created or are about to create. Please send a comment and make a note stating you have pictures for me to receive via email.
