Abstract
A method of exercise includes partially filling (not more than 70% full) a symmetrical hollow body of an exercise device with water, grasping a pair of opposed handles attached to the hollow body, positioning the device at a height and orientation for a first set of motions, and rapidly oscillating the device at a frequency (≥2 HZ) to transform the water from a static state into a dynamic state in which the center of mass oscillates and hydrodynamic forces arise. Optionally, an additive such as viscosity enhancer or beads for audible effect may be introduced in the water.
Claims20
A method of exercise comprising
- partially filling an exercise device with water, the exercise device comprising a hollow body with an internal compartment having a volume, a pair of handles, a fill port in the hollow body, and a plug in the fill port, the hollow body being symmetrical about two perpendicular planes, the pair of handles being on opposite sides of the hollow body, the step of partially filling comprising introducing water into the internal compartment, said water occupying no more than 70% of the internal compartment;
- grasping each handle of the exercise device partially filled with water;
- lifting the exercise device;
- positioning the exercise device at a determined height and orientation;
- moving the exercise device in an oscillating manner at a frequency of at least 2 Hz to transform the water in the internal compartment to a dynamic state producing hydrodynamic forces and an oscillating center of mass.

- partially filling an exercise device with water, the exercise device comprising a hollow body with an internal compartment having a volume, a pair of handles, a fill port in the hollow body, and a plug in the fill port, the hollow body being symmetrical about two perpendicular planes, the pair of handles being on opposite sides of the hollow body, the step of partially filling comprising introducing water into the internal compartment, the hollow body being comprised of a flexible material initially in a collapsed condition, and the step of partially filling the exercise device with water comprising a step of transforming the hollow body to an uncollapsed configuration before introducing water into the internal compartment, said water occupying no more than 70% of the internal compartment;
- grasping each handle of the exercise device partially filled with water;
- lifting the exercise device;
- positioning the exercise device at a determined height and orientation;
- moving the exercise device in an oscillating manner at a frequency of at least 2.5 Hz to transform the water in the internal compartment to a dynamic state hydrodynamic forces and an oscillating center of mass for one of a determined period of time or determined number of cycles.
