Britons will now be able to tone up their muscles while they eat after a company released a bizarre new cutlery set attached to dumbbells.
The hefty chrome knife and fork weigh one kilogram each - the equivalent of a bag of sugar.
While the spoon measures in at an extraordinary two kilograms, which is heavier than a complete 32-piece set of stainless steel cutlery.
The innovative products, called Eat Fit Cutlery, have been described as good for 'gluttons in need of a work out'. But you'll need to be willing to pay a costly £89.99 if you want to buy the set.
A spokeswoman for Firebox, which developed the products, said: 'This cutlery and dumbbell mix is designed for fitness fans with a sense of humour.'
Fitness expert Erak Simsson, from weightlosscoachandtrainer.co.uk, said he loved the idea of dumbbell knives and forks.
He added: 'This novel idea will certainly get people talking and, if nothing else, raise awareness about fitness.'
'As for its effectiveness, a lot will depend on what's on the end of the fork or spoon.
'A pizza slice alone can contain 250 calories so you'd have to do a lot of exercise to work it off. They don't really address the issue of eating habits.'
