Over the last several months, people have been using creative substitutions for exercise equipment. While people are prevented from going to gyms, there are ways to workout at home without any high-tech equipment. One innovator is making it easier to turn your food pantry into dumbbells, with the Makeweight.
The cheap and portable device is designed to hold a can of food on both sides. The creator, Emily Fukunaga, conceived of the idea when she couldn’t find dumbbells online. She invested some of her personal money and also started a Kickstarter campaign to raise money for production.
