These homemade water dumbbells are simple and very easy to make.

You can make them for free using supplies you already have in your home or spend just a few bucks to buy what your need. These DIY water dumbbells can weigh as little 3 pounds each or up to almost 30 lbs.

Supplies

• Eight Water bottles
• Water
• Heavy duty tape (i.e. duct tape, masking tape)
• Tube, pipe, or something else similar that is sturdy

Steps

• 1
  Fill water into each water bottle, either full or as much as you would like them to weigh.
• 2
  Take heavy duty tape and wrap four water bottles together, then do this for the other four water bottles.
• 3
  Get your pipe, stick or a rode.
• 4
  With the bottom of the water bottles facing the stick, insert the stick into the middle space formed by the four water bottles. Repeat this step with the other water bottles, mounting them on the other side of the stick.
• Tape and secure the stick and water bottles to each other
