So as I’m sure most of you do, I workout at home with these videos so I don’t have the huge selection of dumbbells that I would have at a gym.
I have two 5lb dumbbells and one 8lb one but unfortunately they’re in a different state and I can’t get to them (although I am pretty sure they’re going to be too light for me as well when I am able to get to them).
In the meantime, I’ve been using full Nalgene water bottles because they’re the easiest to grip and heaviest things I can think of. However, they just don’t provide enough of a challenge.
With that being said, I’m hoping to get some suggestions on other things I could lift that would be heavier but also easy to grip (I have small hands) for a variety of strength exercises. I can’t afford to invest in weights at the moment, so I’m looking for things that one would find around the house.
HELP: Heavy alternatives to dumbbells?
