Marcy Utility Workout Bench

My husband prefers to work out at home, so we have turned one of the rooms in our house into a home gym.  He needed a work out bench and some weights so he could do some additional things that don’t include our machine.  We bought the Marcy Utility Workout Bench, but it came unassembled.  We were supposed to assemble it together, but I was alone on Saturday and decided to give it a try.  I put a couple of pieces on upside down and had to go back and fix it, but even with that it took me about 40 minutes.

I don’t have any wrenches or tools either, so I had to use some random tools that came with other things I have bought over the year.  I’m pretty sure real tools would make it much easier to put it together and I could have done it faster.

I really love this bench. I may even have to use it myself if I ever decide I want to work out at home!!

Garmin – Forerunner 110 GPS-Enabled Sports Watch

I have decided I want to try running again.  I saw a training plan that didn’t look too difficult on Pinterest that I want to give a try.  I determined if I’m going to try to alternate running and walking on a time schedule, I really need a watch.  I ordered a new Garmin Watch from Best Buy today!  I can’t wait to get it!! I’ll let you know if it was worth the money once I get it in a few days! If anyone has any experience with this watch, please let me know what you think.

iFitness Belt

A few years ago when I was at the Cap 10K expo, I saw these fantastic running belts. I was always looking for somewhere to put my phone when I went for a walk and this seemed like the perfect solution! I was right! I bought my first belt that day. I got a black one with a blue zipper, so that Mike and I could share. When I took it over, I realized I needed to buy another one. I bought one for me that had a pink zipper. Since then, I have referred several of my friends to get them and I’ve bought them as gifts. My friend, Kim, bought one that had a double pouch and I’ve always been a little envious because she can put her keys AND her phone in it when she walks. Well, my dog ate my belt, so I decided to order my own double pouch iFitness belt. I’m so excited and can’t wait to go out for my first walk today!!
