Problems solved by technology

Although gymnasiums will typically have one or more sets of kettlebells of differing weights, a kettlebell of desired weight may not be readily available to the prospective user.
Also, a kettlebell user may desire to exercise with kettlebells in his or her home and would not be expected to have available a set of kettlebells of all desired weights.
Although the device is referred to as a “kettlebell”, it does not have the standard spheroid shape of a typical kettlebell.
However, a traveler may desire to go through his or her usual exercise regimen while away from home and would find it inconvenient to have to carry a hollow kettlebell and a heavy packet of solid material, such as steel shot or lead shot, in order to provide the desired weight.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Referring to FIGS. 1-4, a kettlebell exercise device 100 includes a substantially spherical body 110 having upper and lower portions 112, 114. A handle 120 is attached to the upper portion 112 of the body 110. The lower portion 114 of the body 110 defines a substantially flat surface 116 for supporting the kettlebell on a ground surface in a stable manner, so that the kettlebell 100 may rest in an upright position with the handle 120 substantially upright and accessible for gasping by a user. In some examples, the handle 120 may formed with the body 110. The body 110 defines a substantially hollow interior portion 115. The lower portion 114 defines a port 118 for accessing the interior portion 115 of the body 110.

[0020]In a preferred embodiment and as shown in FIG. 3, the interior portion 115 of the kettlebell is lined with a water-impervious coating 150. In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, bladder 140, impervious to water, is disposed in the interior portion 115. The b...

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO. RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 163,758, filed 26 Mar. 2009.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to kettlebells and, in particular, to kettlebells of adjustable weight.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A standard kettlebell is a generally spherical-shaped cast iron weight with a handle attached. Most kettlebells have a flattened base which provides for stability when placed on a surface when the kettlebell is not in use. The handle is generally integrally cast with the bottom spherical portion of the kettlebell, or it may be otherwise affixed to a previously cast bottom portion.[0004]Kettlebells, which have been in use for over a century, provide aerobic exercise for strength training and fitness. Typically, a user lifts the kettlebell while standing in a variety of poses to work one or more muscle groups. For example, a kettlebell is typically lifted from a squatting position up and...
