Mr. Roboto Utensil Holders: Geeky Green
King of Green Danny Seo is known for his eco-friendly home décor ideas; he recycles and reuses like you wouldn't believe, with more creativity in his little finger than I have in my whole body, or ever will.
He frequently gets geeky, reusing old media that I would normally give to Goodwill or let sit in the back of my closet until a big purge.
A couple weeks ago, he recycled old CDs into dumbells, and now he gathered another tech relic — cassette tapes — grabbed some other junk, and glued them onto old cans to make robot faces and voila, Mr. Roboto utensil cups.
Lifting Tip: Complete the Full Range of Motion
Whether you're using dumbells or a weightlifting machine, you aren't doing yourself any favors by cheating. So make sure that for every rep, you complete the full range of motion for the exercise.
If you're using free weights, this means returning to your starting position after every rep: If you're doing bicep curls, lower you hands all the way down and bring them all the way back up.
