Abstract
The soft weight strength trainer includes a selectively fillable pouch with a strap positioned so that a person can fit a hand or foot in-between the strap and the fillable pouch. The soft weight strength trainer can be utilized in a variety of exercises that strengthen various muscle groups. None of the exercises that are performed with the soft weight strength trainer require a close fisted grip, which makes the soft weight strength trainer ideal for use by a person with reduced hand strength due to age or injury. Additionally, the soft weight strength trainer will not cause damage or injury if inadvertently dropped due to its non-rigid construction.
