Weird and Funky Dumbbells: Odd Fitness Equipment Showcase

24 August 2009 by Admin 117 Comments

Yesterday I came across an article published on eFitology.com listing some bizarre do-it-yourself bikes. I got so inspired that decided to follow up on the weird fitness equipment series and offer my own list of odd and cool (sometimes funny) dumbbells:

Dumbbell Drinker

Do you often feel thirsty when working out? Well thirst no more. Dumbbell Sports Drinks will offer you some great reward after your workout: drink it immediately after your exercise.

CD Dumbbell

The perfect way to make use of piles of old CDs: 150 CDs, about 75 on each side, on a threaded rod from the hardware store and then (8) bolts to hold it all together.  No tools needed.  Just thread it all and bolt it tight.

Dumbbell Phone

Chindogu is the name for a dumbbell hack for the telephone. The idea is that in case you are answering the phone all day long, why not exercising at the same time?

Nicely Designed Dumbbells

Yes! There really are dumbbell designers. So if you are willing to be stylish in everything including your fitness, consider these magnetic dumbbells designed by Henriette Melchiorsen. Each way a kilo and they look as stunning as a sculpture.

Dumbbell Alarm Clock

Start the day by doing some exercise with the Dumbbell Alarm Clock! The idea is that being woken up by dumbbell won’t allow you to put of your exercise to a later date. Instead, it will motivate you to do your morning workout right now.
