Help me design my gym

[Fat Joe]

The house I have been renting the last 2 years has an extension built on the back of the garage, it is 14 Ft X 8.5 FT. I tried converting it into a playroom for my nippers but too much water gets in there when the weather is really bad so the carpet got ruined.

So I've decided to turn it into a gym, when I was younger I had a heavy bag and a speedball in the garage and was thinking of getting these again.

Is there any other equipment I should think about investing in?

Also can someone suggest a good workout to start out with? I haven't really done any training since I stopped playing football about 4 years back.

Any advice will be much appreciated:good

You can add a double-end bag and a pull-up bar. Some rings would also be really good. Do you want to invest in equipment or do more bodyweight exercises?

I can suggest you Ross website and book "Never Gymless" which is a pretty complete book on bodyweight training, very well explained and there's lots of advices & scientific sources. It's a true jewel, you can go on [Only registered and activated users can see links] for more info. In the articles and in the forum there is lot of tips for making your own equipment at low cost.

Is that a floor-2-ceiling ball?

I just want a good workout centred around boxing. I am not interested in weights or filling the room up with too many large items. I want to keep the floor area as empty as possible so that I can jump rope.

Thanks for the advice and the links:good

Yep.
