Example travel exercise equipment includes a barbell including a first end portion and a second end portion and a pair of yokes. Each yoke includes a base and a pair spaced-apart yoke arms extending from the base. The bases being adapted to be coupled to a corresponding end portion of the barbell. The travel exercise equipment includes a pair of containers having handles adapted to be carried by a corresponding yoke.

A flexible hula hoop is made of soft, non-abrasive, flexible, stretchy and collapsible material that is filled with liquid weight before use. This flexible hula hoop can have different amounts of liquid weight for the purpose of different levels of exercise. The hula hoop of this invention uses movement with the body of the user to create momentum for the toning of the abdominal, gluteal and thigh muscles, as well as for weight loss and entertainment. Additionally, there is a plug and aperture system to hold liquid in the hollow interior of the hoop while in motion, during transportation, and during storage. In addition, because said hula hoop material is stretchy it is possible to be used for resistance training for the toning of arm, leg and gluteal muscles.

This disclosure extends to systems, apparatus, and methods for exercising using dynamic fluid movement. In one embodiment, an assembly may have a central body formed as a closeable reservoir, with two opposite side handles. The handles may each include a rotatable grip member. The reservoir may be at least partially filled with a liquid. As user exercises, the assembly is moved while user maintains a grip on at least one grip member. The rotatable grips allow for movement of the central body while the grip is maintained. As the assembly is moved for an exercise, movement of the liquid in the reservoir provides an additional force. In one exemplary exercise, a user may hold the assembly by the opposite grips and walk or run while swinging the arms and rotating the torso back and forth. Where a cap is present, the central body may serve as a water bottle.

A weight-bearing vest is provided. The weight-bearing vest includes a vest body, a support bag of support bags, a water weight bag, and a fixing band. Outer surfaces of front and rear sides of the vest body are symmetrically provided with the support bags, and the support bag is provided with a placement opening. The water weight bag is placed in the support bag from the placement opening, the water weight bag is taken out from the support bag, and the water weight bag is provided with a valve for adding and discharging water. The fixing band is arranged on an outer surface of the support bag, and a degree of tightness of the fixing band is adjusted. A weight of the water weight bag is changed at will by injecting water into the water weight bag or discharging the water from the water weight bag.

An exercise device includes a jug including a first external cutout portion and a second external cutout portion together forming an external cutout having a cross shape in the outer surface of the jug. The jug also includes a first, second, and third handle. The exercise device is configured to allow a user's wrist and forearm to enter the cutout portions.

A hand weight includes a chassis including a handle portion configured to be grasped by a user such that a forearm of the user extends along an axis, and a flexible element attached to the chassis. The hand weight can be configured to receive a movable mass, and the flexible element can be configured to at least partially support the movable mass such that the movable mass forms at least part of a sprung mass of a hand weight assembly including the hand weight and the movable mass, the sprung mass configured to move relative to the chassis of the hand weight and deform the flexible element in response to a force in a direction along the axis applied to the handle portion by the user while grasping the handle portion.

The present invention relates to a novel fitness weight device designed to allow users to customize dumbbell weights by filling the air chambers with air. The device comprises a dumbbell-styled weight with an inflatable air chamber. The devices can be inflated via a push button. Users can inflate the dumbbell devices to a desired weight for customized workouts. Once finished, the user can activate the air release valve to compact or retract the dumbbell for storage.

A dumbbell has a left weight, a right weight, and an arched handle connected to the tops of the weights. In preferred embodiments, the bottoms of the weights are flat, the weights are at least as wide as they are tall, and the weights are parallel to each other. This configuration combines the advantages of a dumbbell and a kettlebell. The arched handle enables kettlebell-like arm raises, while the dumbbell configuration keeps the weights from pressing into the wrist. The arched handle also enables stable placement of the dumbbell over legs, knees, elbows, and ankles.

A method of treating elbow tendonitis in a user's arm comprises providing a container having a handle, filling the container with a prescribed volume of water, holding the container by the handle with the arm hanging at the user's side in a starting position defined by an inward facing of the user's palm, thereafter, rotating the container in a first direction until the arm is at a first rotated position defined by an outward facing of the user's palm, holding the arm at the first rotated position for a first hold time of at least six seconds, thereafter, rotating the container in a second direction opposite the first direction, past the starting position, until the arm is at a second rotated position defined by an outward facing of the user's palm, and holding the arm at the second rotated position for a second hold time of at least six seconds.
