Weighted exercise device

Abstract

A weighted exercise apparatus having a body section containing a flowable weighted material movable within the housing. The housing has a longitudinal axis and longitudinally opposed end sections. A connection socket is located at each end section. A pair of handle members correspond to the connection sockets, having a connection end received within an open end of the corresponding connection socket. Each handle member includes at least one radially extending retractable locking pin and a radially extending rigid projection. The corresponding socket includes a channel rotationally receiving the projection and at least one aperture to receive the at least one locking pin. The projection and at least one locking pin are arranged such that when the locking pin is aligned with and received within the aperture the projection is received and longitudinally restrained within channel providing a secure yet easily releasable method of rotationally locking the handle relative to socket.
