Abstract
A new weighted ball exercise device is disclosed. The ball has handles connected to covers located on opposite sides of the ball. The handles rotate 360 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise. The handles alleviate stress on the user's wrists and provide a firm grip. The ball has an internal weight storage compartment or weight drawer that may be opened to permit adding or removing weights of various sizes and weights. The compartment can be axially located between the covers, and be locked and unlocked by action of spring-loaded button mechanism. In another embodiment, the ball has opposing rotatable covers with handles and grips. Weights are removably insertable into one or more recessed compartments located about the ball's outer surface, and may be radially spaced apart. A kettle bell handle attachment can be inserted into the outer surface to permit conversion of the ball to a kettle ball device.
