Good idea. Plus as they grow up and watch you exercise, it establishes the normalcy of taking care of yourself through exercise. Hopefully they grow up believing exercise is a normal part of life instead of something you have to do, but don't want to.

@@GarageGymReviews My parents never did this, but mom and dad recognized this and tried to raise me different than they were. When I was 8 years old, they enrolled me in martial arts. And, for 13 years, that was my thing...so exercise, hard work, sweat was normalized. It was normal to train 4 or 5 days a week for 2 to 3 hours a night. And, all that time, mom and dad were smiling because their kid was establishing good habits for life. Now I'm in my 40s and can't stand a day when I'm not doing something...even if it's as simple as going for a one hour casual walk...it's just normal. So, good on you and the other folks for these comments! Establish good habits for life.

For your next Kettlebell video, consider the Apex Adjustable Cast Iron KettleBell, currently sold by Walmart for $55 shipped. It uses 1 inch "standard" plates. It has a 5 pound bottom plate, a male-threaded vertical axle to put plates on, and a 15 pound female-threaded top section. I've used my first one for about 10 years and it's still great. The handle and window are well proportioned, similar to my Vulcan competition Kettlebell. It racks a clean really well and handles bottoms up goblet squats just fine. Load range is listed at 20 to 50 pounds, but I've loaded it up to 53 to ape that 24 kg/52.8 pound bell. It's painted in gray Hammerite. Finish has held up well over 10 years. I've got stuff at all levels of the iceberg, and this bell has gotten more use for less money than almost anything else except for Versa Grips. I now have two, since the first has been so good for so long. Thanks for your suggestions over the years.

I don't understand using fitness as fashion. I don't really understand fashion at all. The best attire is a beautiful body. I just buy what I need. I still use my first and only barbell rack, even after dropping over 300 lbs on it from squat height. Twice. I guess I didn't get the message the first time. Upper and lower bar holders, you take it apart, adjustable width, dip handles, that sort of deal. I bought towing straps to tie a plate to my foot with so I can do an interesting quad exercise. It's a rehab exercise, but with added weight. I used the spenby chest expander I lucked into at a second hand store years ago, not knowing what it was, until I got too strong for it and, after much deliberation, moved on to Robert Baraban's expander.

"30 Olympic barbells, only uses specialty bars" I just love that, lol! I guess in a way I have made it since I have been searching online for a week now for my dream barbell collection and of course I need none of them but just want to have them. My goal is to buy 3 squat heavy duty racks and make it so you walk thru them all since they are turned sideways so they each are used solely for hanging barbells off them. Despite having them I will still choose to workout with a half rack only it will be an upgrade since it will be from home grown lifting. It will be found at the other end of the racks you walk thru. I will keep my existing half rack at the opposite end of the racks. All of this will be in the middle of the gym. All the other space will be for various work out machines (both diy and purchased).
