Exercise equipment is designed for ergonomics and function, not style. Anyone who has ever been inside a gym can attest to that. But if designers put some thought into making them more appealing, perhaps we would be more willing to do exercise, especially at home! Apparently, the designers at &Medical, the manufacturer of the Cork Dumbbell, took that into consideration and the result is an object that is both pleasing to the eye and effective as an exercise tool – and even as a decorative ornament!
If you're wondering how a dumbbell made of cork can weigh 1 kg (2.2 lb) , the answer is simple: inside its cork shell, the Cork Dumbbell has an iron spine that gives it enough weight for some light exercise – or for use as a doorstop, paperweight, or even bookend. But don't think of it as a gimmick: this exercise item feels very firm in your hand, its shape makes it easy to grip, and cork ensures it won't slip. Oh, and it's environmentally friendly too!
