In light of current events, you might be thinking about the state of your home gym. Is it going to be enough to get you through whatever the future holds, and avoid the dreaded “quarantine 15”?

Only you can truly and honestly answer that question, but if your fitness supplies are a little lacking (or if you’re taking this opportunity to finally assemble a home gym), consider these NordicTrack adjustable dumbbells, now on sale for $59 off at Walmart.

For just under $200, you can get a pair of these, which have five different weight increments. You can select from 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, and 12.5 pounds (the bars weigh 10 pounds), and they come with a storage tray and a pretty stylish stand set, meaning you won’t have to bend over to pick them up off the floor. With the smooth selector system, you can easily ratchet weight up or down depending on the exercise.

Speaking of exercise, what can you do with these? Well, as the numbers indicate, this is a set of lightweight dumbbells. Don’t think of them as tools for pumping your biceps to Schwarzeneggerian proportions.

Men's Health Fitness Director, Ebenezer Samuel, C.S.C.S, says that, instead, think of working them into exercises that you’re already doing. “You can do a host of lightweight exercises with these dumbbells,” he says. “They're perfect for adding a bit of resistance to your core training (think of weighted Russian twists, V-ups and hollow holds), or for doing lightweight drop sets of lateral raises, front raises, and triceps kickbacks.”

In other words, they’re perfect for optimizing those between-conference-call workouts; you can even keep them by your desk as a subtle reminder to keep active even if you can’t go outside. And right now they’re $59 off the regular price, dropped to $139.99.
