Get All Buffed Up Using the CDs and DVDs Lying Around the House

With the era of optical media now gone, most of us are stuck with an impressive collection of CDs and DVDs that we have no use for, so a designer by the name of Seung-il Kim though it's just about time for us to find a use for these things.

His answer to this question is pretty simple: dumbbells.

Take all the optical media one has lying around and place it in two rounded containers that then are attached to a handle for creating a dumbbell.

When stacked together, the CDs that go into the two plastic covers can total up to 2.2kg, about a little less than 5 pounds, or just enough to get you out of the couch potato state the cold days ahead beg you to enter.

Sadly, for now, these dumbbells are just a concept, but there shouldn't be that much time until the DVDs we have lying around the house will help us all build up some muscle. (via Geek)
