Benefits of technology

This patent is about a simple and safe apparatus for upper body exercise. The device uses a natural phenomenon called centripetal force to provide resistance, resulting in a low-impact form of exercise. The device can be used while standing, walking, or running and helps to strengthen, tone, and increase flexibility in the upper body. Its unique design and function make it an ideal choice for those who are new or renewing their interest in exercise. Additionally, using the device while in forward motion can improve coordination between movements and make the user's core muscle groups stronger and toner.

Problems solved by technology

Most such devices are prohibitively complicated for wide spread adoption as these patents illustrate.
Here again, these devices are either overly complicated, and / or do little to enhance the basic exercise.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]A hand-held centripetal exercise device comprising two parts 1, 2FIG. 1. A inner ball 2, is encased by a outer sphere 1 as shown in FIG. 2. The outer shell is typically constructed by attaching two hemispheres. Typically the outer shell 1 is of a diameter which provides a optimal fit in the palm of the hand. Typically the inner ball 2 is singular, solid, and with a mass to match the requirements of the user.

[0026]Hemispheres, when used, may be permanently attached, i.e. welding, or they may be attached such that separating allows for the inner ball to be exchanged. Changing the inner ball allows the user to change weight therefore varying the consequent effects.

DETAILED OPERATION OF THE INVENTION

[0027]When swung in a rotational motion a centripetal force is created producing a low-impact resistance exercise. The user can vary the size and direction of the rotations to target desired muscle groups. Exchanging the inner ball allows the user to vary the weight and therefore the l...

Abstract

A hand-held centripetal exercise device comprised of an outer sphere (1) and inner ball (2). Holding the device in the palm of the hand while swinging in a rotational motion creates a low-impact centripetal resistance. Benefits may be achieved while standing or ambulatory. Variations in diameter and weight of the sphere and ball allow for adaption to the goals and abilities of the user.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates in general to hand-held exercise devices and more specifically to such devices intended to be swung in a rotational manor. The process of swinging this device produces resistance in the form of kinetic reaction to inertia, gravity, and centripetal force. The invention acts as a hand-held exercise device employing centripetal resistance for use in conjunction with overall physical fitness, muscular strengthening and conditioning, joint flexibility, coordinated movement, and physical rehabilitation.DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ART[0002]The benefits of exercise are well known for an individual's health and well being. While there are many opportunities to exercise there exists a need to exercise without cumbersome or complex equipment. Over the years many hand-held devices have been developed to aid in the quest to achieve strength, flexibility, and endurance. Most such devices are prohibitively complicated for wide spread adoption as...
