Abstract

This disclosure relates generally to a light weight exercise apparatus includes a support including a portion of the lower arm of the user and a second part extending from the first part and having first and second portions. The center and holding portion further includes a grip portion attached to and extending across the width of the retaining portion to be gripped by the hand of the user. The invention is an exercise hand weight structure designed for extended-time type exercises having an elongate body member with a soft, resilient central hand portion, and a hand engaging member resiliently connected at each end of the body member, said hand engaging member extending outwardly transversely to the body member and then generally parallel thereto to pass around the back of the hand preferably between the knuckles and wrist of a user to hold the hand resiliently between the central hand portion of the body member and the hand engaging member. The invention on the top as described is focused on portability and use on the run where and when required.

Description

BACKGROUNDField of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates generally to exercise equipment. More particularly, this invention pertains to an adjustable barbell or dumbbell of improved, compact and light weight construction. This invention relates to hand weights and particularly to hand weights adapted for prolonged or extended use in exercises with the feature of being light and portable.[0002]The new invention is based on using the dumbbells at the uttermost convenience due to light weight, holding weights through lock pin and factor of portability.Description of the Related Art[0003]Dumbells have long been used for exercise purposes. in general, dumbbells forms heretofore available have been designed for use in arm, shoulder and chest development in a standing position. The dumbbells which have heretofore been available have been quite satisfactory for such purposes. Typical of such dumbbells are the conventional pair of rounded weights on opposite ends of a straight rod...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0027]To effectually prevent the dumbbell' from moving in the hand while exercising, the invention is designed in a manner that the grip portion form can handle the plurality of finger receiving depressions. It is a well-recognized fact that greater benefit is derived in exercising from devices of this nature when they are light weight and designed with proper grip.

[0028]The disks or weights are preferably to be of die-cast so that they may be uniform in shape and weight when attached to the dumbbells, however this is not compulsory. The outer edge are of the invention is made of 2 inches, as based on experience most of the most of the weights can be tapped and adjusted to this diameter. Different weight can be attached and then locked through designed keys. Multiple holes are given at the exterior end of the dumbbell so that weights from any gym and type can be locked in. The central located openings at the ends of the dumbbells are of slightly larger diameter than the threaded portion of the lock screws in order to facilitate the easy removal or replacement with respect thereto.

[0029]Designed two pairs of dumbbells are designed light enough to carry in a bag or by hand, but are strong and durable enough to withstand wear and tear. The main feature of the design is customizability. The dumbbells would be available according to

Problems solved by technology

None of these devices, however is satisfactory for use in the correct performance of aerobic exercises in which hundreds or even thousands of repetitions of movement are involved as compared with the relatively few repetitions of conventional dumbbells.

Hand and leg weights serve this purpose well; however, the limiting factor in the use of
