I need some inspiration to find new exciting ways to workout. Right now I like to swim but are also interested in trying Ninjutsu.

I like to run on the treadmill and just using my body to work out (push ups, pull ups, squat etc) its pretty limited but its what i like :)

I've been into weightlifting for years now. I have a whole garage gym setup, so it's easy for me since I don't have to go anywhere.

Working out at a gym is totally different environment in my opinion it is way better. It sound like you put in some money for your home gym though.

To each their own. I went to gyms for years and get the appeal of that too. Working out alone has its own perks and downsides as well.
Overall I spent a good amount, but That was after I sold my car and added bits and pieces as I went. You don't need to spend extreme amounts though.

This is my life goal of having my own home gym.

It's great! I highly recommend it if you can! I can bang the weights around as much as i want, make all the weird noises and faces without embarrassing myself, it's great. Only thing that sucks is in the summer, the heat can be pretty bad.
It doesn't have to be extremely expensive either, you can start as small as you want and work up from there. You can start with even just a pull up bar and a sand bag or something like that. Or for a more proper set up, you can start with an inexpensive rack and a bar off of craigslist and just add from there.

Good idea! Just build it up over time. Especially if you got new exercises you wanna try.

Hi. I like to jump on a trampoline while listening to music. I also like following the workouts by Eyes Free Fitness. Since the company closed, the company owner, Mel Scott made the workouts free to download on the Eyes Free Fitness website and viewable on her YouTube channel. I hope that this helps.

I’m a big fan of Goalball, a sport made for blind/VI folk!

usually I just like to do treadmill and stationary bike.
However I have tried stretches for like yoga, and I am familiar with several weight lifting machines.

I only tried it like once or twice, it was for a secondary school gym class that was all about developing work out routines.
I am sure if you go to your local community centre that you will be able to find a yoga class, and then maybe you could pay someone to spot you personally and help correct your positions.
