I just bought myself a new pair of neoprene dumb bells in a green color by Reebok at Target today. I like the neoprene dumb bells better than the more expensive chrome dumb bells actually, because the neoprene, which is kind of like a matte rubber, is much more easily gripped, and seems to never get too beat up.

I also like it better than the dumb bells they used to make with the high-shine rubber, which just seemed to be too hard to keep a grip on, especially when you were all sweaty, and they also seemed to get tears in them pretty easily, and show the metal through with not much use.

Target only really had the Reebok brand to choose from, but I was fine with that since my Reebok dumb bells came at a cost of only about seven bucks each for eight pound weights. I also ended up buying a cheap jump rope as another way to mix up my workout a bit, for about three bucks (I know - cheap!). I was eyeing the yoga balls and a new yoga matt, but I know I don’t really need either of those, I just want them for some reason.

Ah, standing in the fitness aisle of any department store really gives you the urge to go home and sweat! It’s like workout therapy for me. Am I the only who who feels this way? PROBABLY!
