This is my garage. We don’t actually park in it. So, my generous parents helped me convert it into a gym for the kids. There’s a mini-trampoline, a trapeze with rings, a punching bag, a workout ball, and a twizzle stick. We got gym mats on sale from Amazon and I picked up a few packages of interlocking flooring from Home Depot.
The swings hang from the ceiling where we screwed a 2×6 into the rafters. My rafters run long ways in my garage, not across. So, we ran the beam across the studs and drilled 1/8th inch holes to screw in the hooks. The punching bag has fallen out twice, so we need a bigger hook, but the rest of the equipment hasn’t budged.
All in all, this is the best thing we’ve ever done to the house. No matter what the weather, my kids can get all kinds of physical activity and scream they’re heads off. We send them out to the “dojo” several times a day. They’ve spent hours out there. Every day before homeschool, I sent them out for 30 minutes. I do it before church, or any other time thy’re going to be expected to sit still. It’s done wonders for them. And not just for attitude.
