"I got to a point where I decided I don't like the way these products made me feel in a world where I can go to Sweetgreen for a salad, go to Equinox or a Pilates class instead of lifting dumbbells," he added.

Thanks in part to the explosion of CrossFit (not to mention the ripped-to-shreds bodies kicking butt at the popular CrossFit games), people are realizing that the basic barbell—and a basic set of dumbbells—are still the ultimate muscle-building, body-shaping tools.

Two hours later and I'm standing in a roped off section of London's Third Space Gym next to one of the most successful sportsmen of his generation, getting berated by a personal trainer for not bending my knees properly when I'm picking up two dumbbells.

The closest thing there is to an answer in the video is when that one dude holding a pair of dumbbells in the weight room kind of sidesteps into the middle of the room while holding them at his sides as the deer boings around the space.

Redick cycles through six devices — dumbbells, a weighted tube, a balancing plate, a large inflatable ball, a blue cushion and an elastic band — before he picks up two basketballs and holds each aloft as he crosses his right leg over his left leg, then vice versa.

His company, based in Plainview, N.Y., offers a "gym on wheels": a personal trainer loads up a van with more than 260.1 pieces of fitness equipment — like dumbbells and resistance bands — and travels to a client's home, workplace, school or park to give a personal workout session.

If you're unsure of whether or not a weighted blanket would be worth it for you (because they are an investment), Dr. Kissen suggests taking a pair of dumbbells and putting them on your ankles when you're sitting or lying down to see how you feel about it.

BowFlex has been showing off it ST560 Smart Dumbbells for a couple of years now, and, much to the chagrin of my poor, poor FedEx delivery guy, the things finally started shipping this year – and, for the record, are extremely unpleasant to lug around in 95-degree New York City humidity.

Far beyond its orbit, a Sun-like star and a K-dwarf (predictably named B and C) twirl about one another like dumbbells, while also revolving slowly around star A."The planet is about a third of a way out [between star A, and the B/C pair]," Wagner said.

The former Heisman Trophy winner posted the vid as an inspiration for those looking for some in-home gym ideas during isolation ... but it turned into a MASSIVE flex for the ex-NFL QB. Check out the vid ... Tebow grabbed some of the biggest dumbbells we've EVER seen -- and pressed them SIX TIMES.

To start the week off, I follow Jolie's routine that Peterson shared with Pop Workouts and do 15 reps of wide dumbbell squats, forward lunges, side lunges with a twist, and the squat and press with the 5- to 10- pound dumbbells that the actress apparently uses for most of her workouts.

Driven by a misguided sense of virtue, they will be lifting dumbbells with smug sadness, while back at Thanksgiving HQ, their happy families will be bathing in the sweet, delicious aroma of burbling turkey juices and browning pie crusts, toasty in a home that's warm with extended family and hours of continuous oven use.

President George W. Bush asked for workout equipment, including an elliptical machine and dumbbells, to be installed in a poolside cabana steps from the Oval Office, and a fold-up treadmill to be placed aboard Air Force One -- tasks carried out by Ted Vickey, who ran the White House Athletic Center for 11 years.

The most commonly prescribed protocol: He blocks off the return of blood from his arms (more below on the ins and outs of how to do this), picks up a set of what are, for him, very light dumbbells (20-30 percent of his max), and starts knocking out high-rep sets of curls.

If you need to start even slower, without dumbbells, Nerd Fitness has a nice progression of modified bodyweight movements that build to more difficult versions (this won't get you far in terms of fitness progress and is more of the "get moving" variety of exercise, but if you're starting from zero, it'll onramp you to real weights).

"It's a smart way to get the most bang out of your buck if you have limited time, because you spend half of your time doing strength training work with resistance bands and dumbbells and barbells and body weight, and half of the time on the treadmill getting your cardio in," trainer Keith Anthony tells PEOPLE.

If I had any caveat about home workouts (and there are plenty in here already), it would be that human bodies are able to get stronger and more capable faster than many people think, and the equipment that will give them the results they are picturing is actually kind of extensive; more than a few resistance bands and dumbbells, anyway.

On Twitter in April, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin previewed the capabilities of FEDOR (Final Experimental Demonstration Object Research), an android built by the Russian Foundation for Advanced Research Projects in the Defense Industry -- an agency that's been compared to DARPA in the US.

To be fair, the challenge has since trickled down to the masses, as the South China Morning Post reported last week; an Indonesian doctor, for instance, posted a photo of himself on the ground surrounded by needles and other medical equipment, and another man posted a photo of himself lying facedown at the gym, dumbbells and kettlebells scattered around his body.

I own 212 pound dumbbells, which weren't terrible, but I did find myself needing an extra bit of weight to really feel the burn – so I put on a resistance band above my knees during the squat portion to elevate the feel (or, you know, torture.) Oh, and one very, very important piece of advice for anyone looking to try out Chase's 230-23-3 routine (or any HIIT workout): have an empowering Spotify playlist on hand.
