Exercise Room

One of the larger rooms is the exercise room. You might be interested in knowing why...

Several years ago, we were fortunate enough to find a high intensity strength training program called SuperSlow® that was practiced by one of the gurus of the form, Gary Lindahl, a licensed physical therapist. We studied with him and eventually learned the protocol well enough that Marbeth and I trained each other twice a week.

We trained religiously for over three years until we moved to Oregon. Not having the facilities nor the bandwidth to train, we saw ourselves losing our physical strength, but could not do anything about it.

So, when we were designing the house, we committed a space of almost 181 square feet (11' 8" x 15' 6") to an excercise room. Sporting two 8' x 4'6" picture windows, it has some of the most beautiful views.

Equipment-wise, we have a Bowflex, a stationary bicycle, and an Ab-Lounger.

Gary Lindahl was a pilot and kept his skills honed by logging flight hours monthly. Gary and we had agreed that when the house was completed, he would fly up here from the Bay Area, stay with us in our guest room, hang out, and re-train us on our new equipment.

We were deeply saddened on April 29, 2006, to receive a call from his long-time personal assistant, Deanna, that Gary had passed away the day before. Gary was a young 66, a good man, and a special friend. We missed him when we moved up here. And now, we miss him even more.
