What I choose and why.
The exercise equipment that I have chose to make is a 2 pound dumbbell. the price of the dumbbell would be $3.49 if you bought it off of Target. The reason that I decided to make a two pound dumbbell was because even though its a little bit of weight you can do repetitions and it can help sculpt your muscle. Another reason why I decided to make a two pound dumbbell is because after doing a couple of reputations you can feel the muscle working still even though it is a little bit of wieght.
What I used and how I used the materials to make the dumbbell.
The materials I will be using to make this, is a Life savers container. I will also be using scissors, glitter duct tape, rocks, and a glue gun. The reason I choose to use the Life savers container is because it was tin and looked strong enough to hold the rocks I would put in. I used duct tape because I liked the glitter and gold on it. I decided to use the glue gun to hole the duct tape better together. Another reason that I decided to do the Life saver container is because I decided that it would be a good size to do a two pound dumbbell.
1. The first step was to fill the container till it was two pounds. Although I didnt have a weight mesurer I still managed to estamate the wieght by feeling the weight of another two pound dumbell.

2. Then I put glue gun around the top of the opening of the container. Then I put ductile on top of the opening to seal it. This would help so that the rocks wouldnt fall out of the container.
3. Lastly I decided to decorated the dumbbell with blue felt all around and some stones on the sides for design.
How was my experience? Why is it important to know how to make your own equipment? When will you need it? What muscles would you be working out.
In conclusion I had fun making this because I know that it would help and benefit me in ways that could improve my health. It is important for us to do this because it can help us stay in shape. It can help us see that we don't have to waste alot of money just to stay in shape.Lastly it can helps us see that we can be creative and find other ways to be healthy and not buy everything in stories or at stores.The muscles I would be working out would be biceps. I also ended spending no money because all the materials I used were materials that I had at my house.
