Benefits of technology

The patent is for a device that helps people burn calories and tone muscles while walking, jogging, or doing other activities. It has a pendulum mass that is suspended from a handle or other securing mechanism. Users swing the weight in a pendulum motion to increase resistance during exercise. The device also has a flexible shaft that helps reduce shock and strain associated with the pendulum motion. This can make workouts more challenging and effective without causing injury or discomfort.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore conventional weights are typically high impact and can lead to injuries.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0015]The present disclosure related to a new dynamic weight training apparatus comprising a pendulum mass suspended a distance from a securing mechanism using a connection arm. In exemplary embodiments, the connection arm may exhibit elastic properties and act as a damper and spring to dampen, store and / or redistribute energy from a swinging motion of the mass. In general, the securing mechanism, e.g., handle, strap, band, belt, and / or other securing mechanism, may be adapted for securing the weight training apparatus relative to a user (e.g., the user may grip the handle). In exemplary embodiments, the dynamic weight training apparatus may similarly to a hand weight, e.g., for walking, running, or other forms of stationary or mobile exercise. By distancing the mass from the users' body and allowing for a dynamic swinging motion (e.g., such as resulting from the natural swinging motion of a user's arm while walking, running or performing other exercises), the distance the mass has...

Abstract

A dynamic weight training apparatus is disclosed herein for improved calorie burning and muscle toning. The weight training apparatus generally includes a pendulum mass suspended, e.g., via a flexible shaft, from a handle or other securing mechanism. A user swings the weight in a pendulum motion when exercising (walking, jogging, stationary, sitting or standing) providing for increased resistance. A flexible shaft may advantageously dampen / reduce shock and strain associated with the pendulum motion.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The subject application claims priority to and is a continuation-in-part (CIP) of copending U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 544,990, entitled “Dynamic Weight Training Apparatus” and filed on Jul. 9, 2012, which, in turn, claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 505,283, also entitled “Dynamic Weight Training Apparatus” and filed on Jul. 7, 2011. The contents of both U.S. application Ser. No. 13 / 544,990 and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 505,283 are hereby incorporated by reference herein.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present disclosure relates to personal fitness devices and, more particularly, to weight training.[0004]2. Background Art[0005]Weights are widely used for personal fitness. Conventional weights are generally held or otherwise secured in a static relationship relative to the hand, wrist, ankle or other body part. Although conventional weights provide some resistance a need exists for weight traini...
