I've Progressed to 500g Dumbells.....................

.......................but I don't own any ( and never will)!!!

Great improvisation.

Nicely captured - And, yes, this is proof that you don't need expensive equipment to get healthy!
January 23rd, 2021  
Since you can’t currently go to the store to buy any 🤣 — very resourceful!
January 23rd, 2021  
Congrats on your progression! You will figure out something I am sure.
January 23rd, 2021  
Great idea
January 23rd, 2021  
No need! Water bottles work a treat, and are far cheaper
January 23rd, 2021  
I always worried with tins that you couldn't keep a proper grip on them
January 23rd, 2021  
Only the best beans I see! 😂
January 23rd, 2021  
@anniesue I not vigorous so won't throw them through a window in error!!
@monicac not sure how I'd manage 1kg liter bottles!?
@joansmor I thought so
@farmreporter still in discomfort esp at night, but getting stronger
@mcsiegle and cheap
@linnypinny so true
@wakelys needs must. Others all had propper weights!!
@carole_sandford these aren't just any beans but they're not M&S beans!!
January 23rd, 2021  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond I used logs a couple of weeks ago as couldn’t be bothered to get my weights.
January 23rd, 2021  
Great composition. I admit to owning some weights although they don’t see the light of day very often.
January 23rd, 2021  
there is always a way ...
January 23rd, 2021  
Fantastic photo of your improvisation, but here’s your challenge… I use 3628g weights for my workouts. I think you should work up to 1360 g! You challenge me to painting I challenge you to working out!
January 23rd, 2021  
January 23rd, 2021  
Well done. It's onwards and upwards from here on. When the time comes I'm sure the 1kg bottles will be relatively easy
January 23rd, 2021  
Good for you!
January 23rd, 2021  
@grammyn I've got injured shoulders give me a break friend!! I can only just raise my hands over my head!!
January 23rd, 2021  
Beans will work lol.
January 23rd, 2021  
I hope that you continue to take it low and slow. Nice shot of your exercise gear.
January 23rd, 2021  
Pump it! Work it!
January 23rd, 2021  
Great idea and if you get peckish along the way you can eat the contents.
January 23rd, 2021  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Me too but I’m not gonna let that stop me!
January 23rd, 2021  
Water bottles work for me or plastic milk containers once you get up to 1kg
January 23rd, 2021  
Congrats and keep going. IMO, its the doing that counts, not the weight.
January 24th, 2021  
I go with water bottles...easier to hold and keep hold of.
January 24th, 2021  
😂💪

@momamo 😂
@shutterbug49 thanks for tip
@joysabin it's just sooo tedious
@kjarn I think I'll wait and see
@grammyn but ........
@onewing tru
@uerks but it hurts
@randystreat oh very slowly
@dutchothotmailcom they served a purpose
@jb030958 I thought so too
@salza hmmmm 750g tins first??
@koalagardens or prevention??
@gillian1912 l👍👍🤭
@wakelys did you get splinters!?
January 24th, 2021  
January 24th, 2021  
January 24th, 2021  
Looks like you're able to get creative and make do!
January 25th, 2021  
Baked beans can do the trick! Hate this kind of exercise though :(
January 25th, 2021  
@jacqbb it's helping my shoulders though
@aikiuser it will do for now
January 25th, 2021  
@grammyn my friend @wakelys very kindly left me 1.5kg weights at my front door yesterday! Sticking to 500g beans for a while longer as too painful but something to progress to.

Katy as that's 3kg it's nearly at the challenge weight you set!!
Thanks Sue, see you on line at excerise class tomorrow ( with my beans!!)
January 26th, 2021  
The challenge weight I set was for each weight not total. But you definitely work up to that! I like the idea of using bean cans. If you get hungry there’s always a snack available!
January 26th, 2021  
@grammyn if I have the strength to use the ring pull!!
January 26th, 2021  
@30pics4jackiesdiamond LOL! Now we are talking about an entirely different set of the muscles!
January 27th, 2021  
@grammyn seriously!! Sometimes shoulder pain weakens my hands so much I cannot move fingers!! Inconvenient when out with camera
