Ten Amazing, Crazy, Weird and Unusual Sets of Dumbbells

If I am honest with myself I am a bit overweight, but very physically fit and active, I do walk my dog several miles each and every day (rain, wind or shine) and I have a small selection of at home exercising equipment that I do use for 30 mins each day without fail. But it is hard to stay motivated while doing a workout at home so I have decided to get myself some new exercise equipment, something fun, something amazing, something that is a little…different. So without further ado here is what I would consider being…

When it comes to upcycling I love it and a while ago I showed you this rather amazing CD dumbbell that we could all make at home and it is still a really good idea and a lot cheaper than buying new ones!

These amazing concepts designed dumbbells by designers Emron Jackson Henry and Professor Bryan Howell offers the idea of a built-in recoil system. Called the “ReCoil” it is a workout system where the dumbbells act with resistant bands. Sure it is a slightly weird idea, but they do look amazing none the less.

This is basically the same idea as number (10) but taken to a whole new level! You see the idea is that one or two CD/DVDS/BLU-RAY disks don’t weight a lot, but lots of them really do! (imagine the weight of 2 cd spindles!) so this takes that idea and makes it modern in both idea and looks.

These Bodymax dumbbells do the job of replacing 15 sets of weights! You just turn the dial and it will automatically change your resistance from 2 kg (5 lbs) all the way up to 24 kg (52.5 lbs) of weight! This is most probably the future of dumbbells, but sadly a little expensive for my needs.

These Magnetic dumbbells come via a pair, (North Pole {NP} charged) comes with a cradle and South Pole (SP) pointer magnets. The idea is that when you need to add weight you just increasing the magnetic power of attraction between the SP pointers and the NP Dumbbells! Sounds simple but I suspect they are rather complicated to make.

With amazing function and utilitarian design, these are what happens when a designer makes a set of dumbbells, but I think it ends with rather amazing results! Designed by Henriette Melchiorsen they have an almost beautiful modern sculpture look about them, too expensive for my tastes, but simply amazing to look at none the less.

The problem with the basic design of dumbbells is that they have to be heavy and that is the reason most of them are made of metals! But what about other heavy materials like crystal! That is where designer Alex Undall comes into it because he comes up with a concept that uses a dense crystal instead of metals with rather amazing results!

It seems that once again a designer (Philippe Starck) has tried to re-design the dumbbell and yet again we are left with something that does indeed look amazing. But I have to ask myself if they really exercise equipment or just art! Maybe it is a touch of both!

It might not make you fit, but its a lot more fun than lifting deadweights just for the sheer fun of it! Why not get a little reward of a sip of drink for doing so!

Why am I a little overweight! News flash for you:”food tastes great!” so why should I give up doing the one thing I love in life (other than blogging) so why not combine the both and get these cutlery set dumbbells! Not only do these look cool, but they are a great idea and for me the perfect solution.
