Embodiment Construction

[0033]There are many possible embodiments of the invention, some of which are described below.

[0034]In further detail, FIGS. 1 through 6 illustrate various views of one embodiment of the surface stabilized safety enhanced free-weight according to the present invention.

[0035]In further detail, FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a base member 100 attached to opposing ends of a handle 101. In further detail, the base member 100 has an exterior surface that is comprised of at least one of plastic or rubber and a bottom side that is planar and has a rounded perimeter shape, which is preferably oval, as shown, and which preferably has dimensions of 6 inches by 8 inches. The bottom of the base member 100 is oval and planar to increase the surface area in contact with the floor and therefore enhance stability and reduce slippage versus typical dumbbell designs having round or hexagonal weights.

[0036]The handle 101 is comprised of at least one of plastic or rubber and preferably has a radius...

Abstract

Surface stabilized safety enhanced free-weights and exercise methods that offer the benefits of free-weight resistance training, bodyweight exercises, and body positioning exercises with increased effectiveness, versatility, and safety.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]U.S. Provisional App. No. 61 / 898,954, filed Nov. 1, 2013STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT[0002]Not ApplicableREFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING, A TABLE, OR A COMPUTER PROGRAM LISTING COMPACT DISC APPENDIX[0003]Not ApplicableTECHNICAL FIELD[0004]The present invention relates to exercise equipment and methods of exercising.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]There is always a need for new and improved exercise equipment and methods of exercising to benefit the health and fitness of people.[0006]One very well known piece of exercise equipment is the dumbbell, which is used for resistance exercises, such as bicep curls. Dumbbells typically have two hexagonal or disc shaped weights attached to either end of a straight handle, as exemplified in U.S. Pat. No. 1,672,944, Jowett, 1928 (“Dumb bell”).[0007]Another known piece of exercise equipment is the push-up handle, which is used to enhance the safety and effect of the bod...
