Working Out

After four years, I have finally moved my Linex workout tower inside. When we first moved in, the back living room was too chaotic, so I assembled the tower in the back yard and covered it with a tarp. Last weekend, the second tarp was finally worn out by sun exposure. My wife suggested selling the tower, since I wasn’t using it, so I hosed it down to clean off the dust and ash from the recent Station fire in the local mountains. Then, during the week, she decided it could fit in the back living room — now that all our books are finally all on the bookshelves instead of in boxes all over the floor — so I wiped it down this morning, took it apart, moved it inside, and put it back together again.

My lower back blew out in the Spring, and once I recovered, I started working out to reduce the chances of a recurrence. Now I can add pullups, dips, and lower-back-supported leg lifts to my regimen!
