How wonderful would it be if you don’t have to own any elaborate gym equipment or even dumbbells to work out? Unless you are a yoga enthusiast or indulge in Pilates, it is likely that you would need some equipment. One of the most common gym equipment or weights is the dumbbell. It is used by teenagers and adults, men and women alike. You may want to build lean muscles, lose weight or you may simply wish to sculpt your physique or figure; dumbbells are an integral part of working out. How convenient would it be if you don’t have to buy dumbbells and instead you get to use small magnetic dumbbells? Imagine two rings, about the diameter of your forearm which can use electromagnetism to exert a certain force or to have a certain weight which you can then use to work out.

O2 Magnetic Dumbbells
The new wearable O2 Magnetic Dumbbells are rings that can be programmed to have a certain polarity that allows you to pull or push against the force or pressure created. The two rings have eight levels of weights with each weighing about 3 kg. So if you go for all eight then you would be working out with 24 kg. The rings are adjustable and not just meant for normal dumbbells or barbell curls. There is a whole range of exercises that you can indulge in with the wearable O2 Magnetic Dumbbells.
There is a power button conveniently located on the side, pressing which will activate the electromagnets. You can switch the polarity of the magnets or keep them same depending on what kind of force you need and in which direction. Accordingly you can work on your biceps, triceps, deltoids, forearms, wrists, shoulders and even your chest to an extent. You can always use the rings in various places or positions to do a certain exercise.
Designed by Suhyun Yoo, Hongseok Kim, and Juhyeon Lee, the magnetic dumbbells are one of a kind. You can take them anywhere you want. The interesting aspect of the device is that they don’t weigh much at all. They can be just two pieces of rings in your pocket. They would exert the thrust only when the electromagnets are activated. So you would have the option to carry 48 kg weight while the magnetic dumbbells wouldn’t even weigh 1 kg. Also, you can now exercise anywhere you want, anytime you feel like.
Unfortunately, the O2 magnetic dumbbells are still in the design phase in 2020 and it is not clear when we will be able to get our hands on the first prototypes. However, there are other cool fitness gadgets that are available for sale on amazon. One of such fitness device is the Wrist Exercises Gyroscope Force Ball. This compact gyroscope ball exerts force on your arm and wrist upon spinning. It alllows you to control the rotational speed of the ball and hence, the weight exerted.
