Thinking that exercise equipment is often too spartan, Alex Undall has drawn up some concept art for future gear that looks like what Luke would use to work out his new electric hand. Here he’s come up with dumbbells made of crystal and in a variety of different colors. These dumbbells, which are nowhere near being released, let alone linked with a manufacturer, are supposed to complement your house’s interior design. Who could say no to multi-colored weights? I bet these would do great in certain neighborhoods in Manhattan.
Undall reasons that consumers spend so much money on exercise equipment each year that the equipment might as well look nice. I guess, but there’s something quite masculine about gray-colored slabs of iron that you raise and lower until your arms feel like they want to explode.

Great! Now I’ll finally exercise! The only reason I’ve put off getting abs of steel and a nice set of guns was because I couldn’t find a set of dumbells that complimented my 8th grade dental retainers…

These dumbbells are the only dumbbells that would be welcome in my house. Since my Wife hates the fact that I bring the “ugly version dumbbells” into our attractive living room and use them while watching TV,
she would be delighted to display them and use them herself. The “WOW
FACTOR” goes a long way in Laguna Beach, Corona Del Mar, and Newport
Beach.
