There’s a new kind of gym in Houston and to enjoy it you’ll have to strap on the boxing gloves. Plex gym is a 40,000 square foot facility that is the brainchild of internationally known fitness guru Danny Arnold. Not only is there every piece of workout equipment you can imagine but the centerpiece of Plex is the boxing ring and boxing training you can participate in. You might even be exercising alongside some NFL and NBA players who are known to workout at Plex throughout the year. And of course you’re likely to run into many professional boxers who call Plex their workout home.
Ask anyone who has stepped into a boxing ring and they’ll tell you this is a serious workout that targets all of your muscle groups including cardio. It’s really not about becoming a boxer as much as it is about training like a boxer does. Of course, if you reach a certain level of skill you’re sure to find a willing sparring partner and then you can say you actually boxed somebody! Becoming a member of Plex is the perfect example of why joining a gym has some many benefits: You’ll be surrounded by all kinds of folks at all levels of expertise who will be willing to support your own workout regime. You can go the professional route and hire a trainer who will put you through your paces. A better approach would be to just become friendly with your fellow members. You’re sure to get a spotter or to pick up tips for your workout. The gym is a wonderful social networking environment that can actually improve your health.
All of this talk about gym membership benefits might have you rethinking all that gym equipment you’ve got collecting dust in your home. Yes, you purchased those items with the best intentions of working out but once they were paid off, there they sat. Just because you had a treadmill in the garage doesn’t mean you’re going to use it more often. Would you rather run on a treadmill staring at your garage walls or watch TV like you can in a gym? It certainly makes the time go a lot faster when you’re properly motivated.
If you’re ready to ditch that home gym equipment then let Junk King Houston do the power lifting. The Junk King Houston crew will have the skills to lift the treadmill, dumbbells or any other piece of equipment you want to toss out. On that same trip that can take away any other oversized item like furniture, kitchen appliances or TVs. If you’re not going to use it, why keep it? Get that junk out of your life and get to the gym. You’ve got some boxing to do!
Much like the electricity that comes into our homes, most of us don’t even think about how our water heater works; that is until it breaks down! The water heater is something we depend on every time we turn on the faucet, take a shower or do a load of laundry. Given those daily events is it any wonder that a water heater is put through a lot of stress? Depending upon how old your current water heater is you might find that it’s time for replacement. As you go shopping for a new water heater you’ll be presented with several different options in terms of design and functionality.
One a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst, what kind of procrastinator are you? The answer to that question could be found in how long it takes you to remove the Christmas decorations once Christmas is actually over. Let’s face, every neighborhood has that once house which takes its time removing those decorations. Tradition holds that the official end of the Christmas season falls on January 6. That is when the church declares Christmas is over and when most people take down their decorations. But there are always some hold outs, aren’t there? Are you one of them?
For most people in Houston, moving day is something to get through and survive rather than a kind of day you might look forward to like Christmas. A lot of pressure can build up for a moving day. However, if you take an organized and systematic approach to the event, you should be able to come out on the other side reasonable unscathed. The big thing to remember is not to wait until the last minute for packing. Once you’ve settled on a date and have booked your movers, there is no reason why you can’t start packing up right away. Filling up a couple of boxes a day is a great way to knock out all the packing. Just think about all those things you’re not going to be using everyday (books, CDs, DVDS, seasonal clothes, etc.) and begin there.
If you had to rate yourself on the scale of one to 10 with one being “you throw everything away” and 10 being “you’ve never throw anything away” where would you fall on that scale? Most people hover somewhere around the middle. They throw away those things that clutter up the house but still manage to stuff closets full of junk. On the opposite end of that spectrum you have the hoarders who hang onto everything. In extreme cases, like the ones they showcase on reality television, these hoarders can actually cause harm to themselves and their neighborhood. Maybe you’re on the verge of becoming a hoarder through no real fault of your own; you just don’t have the means to get rid of your junk. That no longer has to be the case in Houston when you can hire
Let’s get real: How many times have you made the New Year’s resolution to get in shape only to have that fly right out the window by March? Sure, there are a lot of reasons to prevent you from working out like not enough time in your day to travel back and forth to the gym. That’s probably the biggest deterrent for most folks. That and the cheesecake! But how great would it be to have your own personal gym just down the hall from your bedroom? You might not feel so guilty about that cheesecake if you know the next morning you’ll be hitting your cardio hard. You can actually accomplish that rather easily if you have the room and the motivation.
