DIY Climbing Pegboard

Image
Remember that scene in Vision Quest where Louden Swain climbed that pegboard in the gym and blew all his team mates away?  No?  Anyone?  If not, you must be under 40.  Anyway, it was a great moment, and in the recent years, thanks to CrossFit, they have made a comeback. As far as craftsmanship woodworking skills go, you don't need a whole heck of a lot to complete this project... consider it a good gateway project into the world of woodworking.  However, you DO need some quality tools, otherwise it's going to take a lifetime to complete. And as far as costs go, this one didn't cost me very much at all.  Primarily because the main board I used was a scrap piece of wood I found.  And when I started, it really did look scrap... nicked, scuffed, sun bleached and paint.  But in the end, I think it turned out looking great!

Vlog #2 - Stop With the Doubts and Excuses

So, I'm a bit disappointed with this Vlog.  The workout, while a TOTAL back breaker, wasn't the most interesting for the viewer to watch.   On top of that, the entire episode was plagued with little technical issues that were giving me fits. That being said, I did learn a lot on this one.   I learned a lot of technical stuff that will hopefully be addressed before the next video, AND I learned a lot about myself in terms of tackling these workouts and pushing myself. Hopefully you get something out of it.   And if you have any thoughts, please send them my way!

Vlog #1 - Overcoming and Stepping Out of Your Comfort Zone

Image
Today I finally addressed the "Finding My Fitness" portion of my Finding My Fitness DIY blog, and I share with you a great little workout. This one really took me out of my comfort zone.  As an editor, I am most comfortable behind the scenes.  So, being on camera was definitely something different for me, and is something that will take a little getting use to. In this Vlog I talk about why I'm doing this blog and I share and do a nice little benchmark workout that's guaranteed to get the beginner/intermediate health and fitness person's heart rate pumping. Check it out and let me know what you think.  And if you have a good benchmark type workout you think I should try, please let me know!
