A training device may include a frame. The frame may include a main shaft having proximal and distal ends; a left mount and a right mount each disposed perpendicular to the main shaft; a weight guard extending radially from the main shaft; a sheath protruding from the main shaft; and a fastener well disposed on the sheath. Further, the training device may include a t-bar. The t-bar may include a support member comprising a plurality of holes. The sheath may be sized to accept the support member. A left rail and a right rail may each be disposed orthogonal to the support member.

A weight plate includes a first section having an annular shape with a passage extending axially through the first section and configured to receive an elongated member therethrough, and a second section having an annular shape and positioned radially outward of the first section, where the second section includes first and second outer surfaces on opposite axial sides of the weight plate with an axial thickness defined between the first and second outer surfaces. The second section has a plurality of recesses each extending axially inward from the first and second outer surfaces at least partially through the axial thickness of the second section.

Methods and devices for use in shuttle drills. The exercise device includes a base having a plate and a central vertical member configured to receive blocks retrieved during a shuttle drill, and several blocks configured to be placed at varying distances from the base and to be picked up by a participant and stacked on the base. The method includes placing blocks of varying colors at varying distances from a base that has a plate and a central vertical member. A participant is instructed to run to the block closest to the base, pick up the block closest to the base, run back with the block to the base and stack the block around the central vertical member, and to repeat the running, picking up, and running back steps until there are no more blocks to be picked up and all blocks are stacked around the central vertical member.

The invention is an external apparatus for the addition of weight(s) to dumbbells and barbells. The external apparatus allows micro-incremental loading between 1.25 to 3.75 pounds on all types of dumbbells and barbells. The device is able to improve trainer and the trainee's ability to break plateaus and to maintain consistent weight progression. The use of this device promotes and stimulates the muscle growth of the user while training. The main advantage of the present invention that women get the significant benefit from this piece of equipment, however, men and women of all body types would benefit greatly from this device.

An aerobic exercise kit for facilitating aerobic exercise includes a plurality of rings. A selected one of the rings may be manipulated during aerobic exercise. Each of the rings includes a weighted portion. Each of the rings may impart resistance to a user when the user manipulates the selected ring. Thus, the selected ring may increase cardiovascular activity when the user manipulates the selected ring. Each of the rings has a unique diameter with respect to each other such that each of the rings has a unique weight with respect to each other.

This exercise assisting device (1) is provided with a grip member (3) that can be gripped by a hand and that extends in a tubular shape or in a columnar shape. The grip member (3) has a recessed part (31) configured so that, when the device is gripped by the hand, only a portion at which the middle finger is placed is recessed.

A weight object configured to be lifted from a ground surface includes a first portion made of high-durometer material, a second portion made of elastomeric material having equal to or durometer than the first portion, and a handle for holding the weight object and lifting the object from the ground surface, where the second portion includes spaced holes within the elastomeric material for absorbing noise generated when the weight object is dropped on the ground surface. Alternatively, a weight object which is configured to be lifted from a ground surface, including at least one layer of elastomeric material having spaced holes therein for absorbing noise generated when the weight object is dropped on the ground surface, and an opening configured to receive a handle.

A weight training apparatus, includes a central body comprising a width and a depth, wherein the width of the central body is greater than the depth. The weight training apparatus further includes a first handle comprising an opening coupled to the central body at a first position and a second position on a top surface of the central body, wherein the first handle is positioned laterally relative to the width of the central body, a second handle coupled to the central body at a third position on a first side surface of the central body, and a third handle coupled to the central body at a fourth position on a second side surface of the central body, wherein the second side surface is adjacent to the first side surface.

A weight plate that is comprised of multiple parts that connect to each other around the handle of a progressive resistive device.

A weight system can be used with exercise equipment to perform workout routines. The weight system can include dumbbell head covers configured to be removably coupled to the heads of the dumbbell. The head covers can be installed on different sets of dumbbells in a workout routine to provide a customized workout. The head covers can have self-cinching end portions and a tubular central portion for extending over the head of the dumbbell. The self-cinching end portions can cooperate to hold the dumbbell head while performing lifts.
