<p>IS this the garage?  Concrete flooring?  I would get some of those rubberized locking tiles to stick in a corner if you're planning on getting on the floor and using a swiss ball.</p>

 

[em73]

<p>we just keep the trainers in the living room.  <img alt="biggrin.gif" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//biggrin.gif"></p>

<p>a can of Febreeze</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a shelf full of sweatrags</p>
<p> </p>
<p>a window with a view (so your neighbors can wonder why the heck your inside when it's 60f outside)............hey, we found it's not that expensive to dig a big hole in your basement....we did it at our old house because although we told the renters that the workout room was NOT a bedroom...we knew they'd use it that way)   When I saw my old basement with a really nice window......I cried....."I would have stayed here"</p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px;">I second Mike's comment about the fan; the old box fan just doesn't do it in a trainer situation.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since this will be in the garage, I think one of these will just about fit in there at 8' DIA.  It's only a 1/2 HP but from what i hear they move quite a large volume of air, fairly quiet too.  <img alt="" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" title="">  Of course the added benefit is the boys could learn about aerodynamics with your homemade wind tunnel when not in use as a pain cave...</p>

<p>You should go old school like JR.  8 track player, next to the electrical box, tools laying around, etc.  Where's that pic?  Man up, forgot those cozy comforts!</p>
