Benefits of technology

[0008]The aim of the present invention is therefore to propose a training aid that can provide an instable load that is controlled at least in part. Another aim of the present invention is to propose a training aid that makes it possible to control the degree of instability following movements of the aid in different di

Problems solved by technology

These known aids, which allow users to perform a multitude of exercises to train different muscles of the body, have intrinsic limitations, however, due to their shape.
The movement of the liquid therefore generates a continuous variation in the aid's center of gravity that is often sudden and not foreseeable by the athlete.
However, this aid does not make it possible to control the movement of the liquid inside the bag, for example between opposing walls.
When performi

Embodiment Construction

[0026]With reference to FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B, the training aid indicated as a whole by the number 10 comprises a membrane 11 delimiting or defining a chamber 12 on the inside of the membrane. The membrane 11 is body having a wall that is made of a material impermeable to fluids. In one implementation, the membrane is made of a flexible material, such as a plastic. In other implementations, the membrane may be formed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyurethane (TPU), synthetic rubber (CSM), chlorosulfonated polyethylene (CPSE), other polymeric materials or combinations thereof. In other implementations, the membrane 11 can be formed as a rigid, non-flexible body. The chamber 12 can be filled at least in part with a liquid L or small particles. The liquid can be water or other liquids with a similar viscosity. In other implementations, the liquid can have a higher viscosity and / or density than water. The small particles can be sand, or beads, pellets, balls, flakes, and / or pieces formed o...

Abstract

A fitness training aid including a flexible, impermeable membrane defining a chamber fillable at least in part with a first flowable material and at least in part with a second flowable material, at least closure coupled to the membrane, at least one gripping member coupled to the membrane, and at least one wall positioned within the chamber. The closure positionable between at least one open position enabling the first and/or second flowable materials to be introduced within the chamber, and a closed position that seals the first and/or second flowable materials within the chamber. The at least one wall and the membrane define at least first and second compartments within the membrane. The at least one wall enables fluid communication of the first and/or second flowable materials between the first and second compartments.

Description

RELATED U.S. APPLICATION DATA[0001]The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 to Italian Patent Application No. MI2015A000501 filed on Apr. 8, 2015.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention relates to a fitness training aid, and in particular to an aid comprising a mass to be lifted and gripped to enable training exercises to be performed.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Various types of fitness training aids are known, such as kettlebells, dumb-bells, weight bars or similar. These known aids, which allow users to perform a multitude of exercises to train different muscles of the body, have intrinsic limitations, however, due to their shape. In particular, these aids generally comprise a rigid or substantially rigid body, with a center of gravity that is fixed with respect to the geometry of the body. The load of these aids is therefore described as stable.[0004]In some training contexts, both at competitive and non-competitive level, and for rehabilitation, it is ...
