While prepping at-home gear for clients, I found – via Amazon and Walmart sites – that key fitness items like BOSU balls, battle ropes, and dumbbells/kettlebells are UNavailable. Even the Wall Street Journal mentioned this supply chain shortage on Friday.
I do have enough inventory to keep current at-home clients moving. So I will think of this supply shortage ad a glass-half-full sign that folks are working out more (fingers crossed!).
My adapted lyrics from AC/DC’s HELLS BELLS reflect this back-ordered metal mess…
K-Bells (Thank you AC/DC)
I’d be a lockdown wonder, a strong pumping dude
I’d pump my weights …at home
That is –IF grabbing a new kettlebell
Don’t ya know it, China’s got none to sell?
I won’t take no negatives, no CoVID excuse
Seems supply chains are coppin’ out in recluse
I need my shipment, my new metal bell
I’ll bump my home liftin’, with any Dumbbell!
K-Bells
Dumbbells…
And, weighty Dumbbells
Primes got me waitin’ for home workout hell
My frustration’s risin’, two months past Jeff’s sell
Erector Spinae and up/down my spine
If Amazon delivered, that Deadlift was mine
My backorder status just isn’t all right
‘Cause Jeff’s supply chain is lackin’,
Plus another fortnight.
I just want my metal, just spare me that lie
My Prime backorder may someday supply
A Kettle or Dumbbell, I’ll lift either way
I’m gonna be conditioned – somehow, someday.
K-Bells
Dumbbells…
Until your backorder arrives – KABOOM with creative objects – rice bags, Funk and Wagnalls dictionaries or significant others.
