The influence of the Star Wars franchise has extended into the world of fitness and exercise with a series of Star Wars-themed fitness equipment that's equal parts hilarious and terrifying.
Designed by fitness company Onnit, this collection includes "black iron kettlebells, weighted slam balls and a Han Solo-themed yoga mat." With three unique designs, the kettlebells feature Boba Fett, a Stormtrooper and Darth Vader, which are sure to make for an effective workout, even without the help of "the Force." The various slam balls are available in a range of weights, while offering detailed surface that provides the additional benefit of an easy grip. Lastly, although the iconic printed image may be a distraction, the Han Solo yoga mat offers users non-slip, moisture-absorbing experience. Photo Credits: designboom, google
