Fitness: in a Garage, in a Yard, in a Basement

Today I challenged myself with my 43.  (challenge for my current state anyway!!)

I used this little rubber tubing:Tubing

I stood on the tube with my feet a little wider than hip distance apart and the ends in each hand.  From that position, I did a Frankenstein walk – stiff leg walk forward for 3 steps and back for 3 steps along with alternating front raises = 1 rep.

This 43 was hard for me after the past week – plus, I did a total of 129 front raises with each arm by the time I finished.  I can’t believe how weak I feel after just missing a week of working out!  Yikes – hopefully soon I will be back at it!!!

Check out my cool T-shirt:Kim - Griffin Fitness

Can you read it?  It saysKim - Griffin Fitness

My younger brother Sam (Griffin!!) and his wife Stacy started a gym in their garage (in west TX) and this is their logo on a T-shirt!

Sam built a cross-fit type gym and is quite the cross-fit stud!!

Last fall, Stacy started up a Backyard Bootcamp program.  It has grown a lot since then – I think she has about 4 -6 different classes now!!

Look how super cute she is!!!

I love that they have turned their passion for fitness into a way to help others in their community get fit – all in their garage and backyard!!!

Just goes to show that fitness can be done anywhere!   (for me it is usually in my basement) It  just takes the desire to get it done!!

Happy Tuesday!
