I have some outside workout gear now, i.e. rope climb, big tires, small tires, sledgehammer, railroad tie. Also have a 5k trail around the farm. What I need is a way to grab a good workout indoors during inclement weather. (yes, I'm getting soft).
I'm thinking of setting up an open area, a tv/DVD player for the workout dvd's, some room for some sandbag stuff. Was considering an olympic bar. Not real sure about machines (I despise treadmills). Was also thinking about a dumbbell rack, some medicine balls, etc.
Anybody that has anything, chime in. I'm all ears, and thanks.

Sir,
What is your mindset? What are you and the wife wanting to improve? Overall health? Increase size with lean muscle mass? Strength and Conditioning?
Your Cardo..what are you wanting to do? Run a Mathron next Spring? Triathlon? Inprove for the Ski season? Keep in Shape for Cross Country during the Spring and Summer? Keep the Heart Rate down?
What you are wanting to do and how much you're wanting to spend drive this. I know you know this, but to say what I would throw in drives what I would suggest.
Do you want a rubber floor? Padded area?
Also what are the measurements of your basement area?
