Our son was honestly lacking in athletic ability when he first wanted to join the football team.
I realized that I had to help him bulk up with high protein foods and workout regimens.
I decided to work on setting up a home gym in the basement. To do this, I purchased dumbbells and a Total gym for the different workouts that needed to be done. I also set up a smart TV so that I could access all the physical fitness programs that he needed to keep up with. The most important thing was the HVAC system. We didn’t have any HVAC vents in the basement to provide nearly enough cooling. We just had a small ventless gas furnace down there, and that was all. So I had a ductless mini split installed in the basement. This brilliant heat pump system works by pushing the heating energy out of the house to the outdoor condenser unit. This provides a cooling effect inside and it’s nice to be able to cool the basement separate from cranking the A/C in the whole house. My son and I were able to get some massive workouts in, but he naturally became more advanced than I was. He really got into the workout routine and he was eating all the right foods to bulk up. I couldn’t believe how fast he was able to get into good shape and sure enough, he made the football team! He needed a lot of practice but he became a really good running back not before long!
