Henriette Melchiorsen magnetic dumbbells 2.2lbs/each $200 -whoaThe time has come to step it up a notch. To increase my arm weights from 8lbs. to 10lbs. That's right, I'm going for the gold. Only I just can't bring myself to do it. Why?...after a lot of thought I came up with two possible explanations. A) I am lazy. and/or B) my 10lb. weights are ugly. Obviously it's B. At least that's what I'm telling myself. But honestly, my 10lb. weights are really ugly. They were inherited from a former boyfriend (too light for him!) and they are big, bulky, dark grey weights. Cold as steel. Nowhere near as fun as my purple neoprene 8lb. weights or my turquoise 5lb-ers. So in my quest for gold it turns out I am going to have to replace my old 10lb weights with something new and flashy... something I really really want to lift, repeatedly. How's that for motivation?!?!?! Call me crazy, but I don't think you should have to sacrifice good design for functionality. Ever.
