Abstract
An exercise apparatus, system, or kit that includes separate components that can be used together during a workout. In one embodiment, the exercise system includes a cylindrical body, an elongated bar, and one or more resistance bands. The elongated bar may be a one-piece bar or a multi-piece bar. The cylindrical body extends along a longitudinal axis and has an annular groove formed into its outer surface that surrounds the longitudinal axis and a bore extending through the cylindrical body in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The dimensions of the bar, the groove, and the bore are such that the bar can be inserted into and through the bore and the bar can be positioned within the annular groove to achieve different types of exercise. Furthermore, the resistance bands can be coupled to the elongated bar.
Claims20
An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a cylindrical body extending from a first end to a second end along a longitudinal axis, the cylindrical body having an outer surface;
- an annular groove formed into the outer surface of the cylindrical body, the annular groove located centrally between the first and second ends of the cylindrical body;
- the cylindrical body comprising:
- a first cylindrical portion extending between the first end of the cylindrical body and a first end of the annular groove and having a first length measured along the longitudinal axis;
- a second cylindrical portion extending between the second end of the cylindrical body and a second end of the annular groove and having a second length measured along the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a groove portion extending between the first and second ends of the annular groove and having a third length measured along the longitudinal axis, the third length being less than each of the first and second lengths;
- and
- a bore formed into the cylindrical body and extending from a first opening at the first end of the cylindrical body to a second opening at the second end of the cylindrical body.
An exercise system comprising:
- a cylindrical body extending from a first end to a second end along a longitudinal axis, the cylindrical body having an outer surface;
- an annular groove formed into the outer surface of the cylindrical body and circumscribing the longitudinal axis, the annular groove located centrally between the first and second ends of the cylindrical body, the cylindrical body having a constant diameter from the first end of the cylindrical body to the annular groove and from the second end of the cylindrical body to the annular groove;
- a bore formed into the cylindrical body and extending from a first opening at the first end of the cylindrical body to a second opening at the second end of the cylindrical body, the bore having a first diameter;
- and
- an elongated bar extending from a first end to a second end, the elongated bar having a second diameter that is less than the first diameter.
An exercise kit comprising:
- a cylindrical body extending from a first end to a second end along a longitudinal axis, the cylindrical body comprising:
- an annular groove formed into the outer surface of the cylindrical body, the annular groove located between the first and second ends of the cylindrical body and having a minimum radius of curvature;
- and
- a bore formed into the cylindrical body and extending from the first end of the cylindrical body to the second end of the cylindrical body, the bore having a first diameter;
- a bar extending along a longitudinal axis and having holes formed therein on opposite sides of a longitudinal center-point of the bar, wherein the bar is configured to be:
- (1) inserted into and through the bore in the cylindrical body with portions of the elongated bar extending from the first and second ends of the cylindrical body;
- and (2) positioned in rolling contact with a floor of the annular groove;
- and
- a resistance band configured to be detachably coupled to at least one of the first and second holes in the bar.
