WHAT: Nice C Adjustable Dumbbell
WHY: Ever since March, dumbbells have been almost impossible to find.
It seems everyone’s “quarantine fitness goals” apparently include building out a mini home gym so we don’t atrophy into depression because we know exercise is the key to youth and mental health, yada.
But after months of home workouts, we simply cannot do another push-up or burpee or “body weight exercise.”
And so finally we found a set of dumbbells that are non-heinous and don’t cost a fortune. And they’re customizable, and actually kind of…cute?
Apart from looking s l i g h t l y like a vibrator, these dumbbells come in a slip-resistant neoprene with a curved handle bar, which apparently makes them harder to drop.
Plus, the little round ends pop off to reveal a bunch of weight bars, that you can add or remove to adjust the weight (up to 4.5lbs or 11lbs, depending on which set you buy). Meaning you don’t need to become an overnight fucking crossfitter and own an entire weight rack to be able to do different exercises. Smart.
But the best thing about them is that they’re actually available. On Amazon, no less.
PRICE: $30 for a 4.5lb pair, $66 for an 11lb pair.
