During class, Mrs. Longi had told us to make our own excercise equipment we want. I chose to find a old and very broken dumbell that has sand inside, so I decided to put tape on it and stick it together because it was mostly from my grandma from a long time ago. The dumbell used to cost about $7, but if I will be able to sell it now, it can be $2 because of how old it is. The reason I wanted to have a dumbell as a excecise equipment for me is because I want to have a strong upper body in the future. This dumbell is a very good one when I want to work out on my own.
The main ingredient was mostly sand because my dumbell is not a real dumbell that may weigh about 25 pounds. This dumbell was very week but I had to cover it up with tape or else it will fall apart, for the sand, very easily. To make this equipment, you very much need weak plastic, but if you have extra parts for it, you can stick it up with hot glue but don’t overuse because it will overheat the plastic. If some there is a torn through it, you can, again, cover it up with tape to stop the sand coming out.
It is very important to learn how to make your own excercise equipment are two important things you need to know why. Number 1: if you cannot afford to buy an equipment. Number2: to work out at home. From any excercise equipment can give you muscle, and mine can give you arm muscles from lifting up and down very slowly to know how the weight is. It’s very fun if you want to make one for yourself
