The exercise apparatus can include a post comprising a first portion and a second portion. The base can be configured to receive the first portion of the post. The exercise apparatus can include a pad disposed around the second portion of the post. The exercise apparatus can include a tank coupled with the post at a distal end of the post opposite the base. The pad can extend from the base to the tank. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An exercise apparatus, comprising: a base; a post comprising a first portion and a second portion, the base configured to receive the first portion of the post; a pad disposed around the second portion of the post; and a tank coupled with the post at a distal end of the post opposite the base, the pad extending from the base to the tank. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a flexible diaphragm disposed around the first portion of the post, the flexible diaphragm disposed at least partially between the post and the base, the flexible diaphragm to allow the post to move relative to the base. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base comprises a receptacle to receive the first portion of the post, the first portion of the post comprising a first diameter and the receptacle comprising a second diameter, the first diameter being less than the second diameter to facilitate a predetermined angle of deflection of the post. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The exercise apparatus of claim 3, wherein the predetermined angle of deflection is between 5 and 10 degrees. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the pad defines a first cavity and a second cavity, the second portion of the post disposed in the first cavity and the tank disposed in the second cavity, the first cavity having a first cavity diameter and the second cavity having a second cavity diameter, the first cavity diameter less than the second cavity diameter. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein: the pad defines a ridge; and when the tank is coupled with the post, the tank interfaces with the ridge to prevent translational movement of the pad relative to the post. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The exercise apparatus of claim 6, wherein the tank is threadably coupled with the post. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base comprises: a first base portion defining a receptacle; and a second base portion, wherein at least one of the first base portion and the second base portion comprises a reservoir, and wherein at least one of the first base portion and the second base portion comprises an anchor point. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the tank comprises: a tank reservoir to receive a fluid to dampen an effect of a force applied to the exercise apparatus; and an inlet disposed on a top surface of the tank to provide a path for the fluid to enter or exit the tank reservoir, wherein the tank is configured to prevent translational movement of the pad relative to the post. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The exercise apparatus of claim 1, wherein the base comprises a base reservoir to retain a first filler. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The exercise apparatus of claim 10, wherein the tank comprises a tank reservoir to retain a second filler. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The exercise apparatus of claim 11, wherein the post comprises a post reservoir that extends through the first portion and the second portion of the post, the post reservoir to retain a third filler. ### Claim 13 A method, comprising: inserting a first portion of a post into a base; disposing a pad around a second portion of the post; and coupling a tank with the post, wherein the tank is disposed at a distal end of the post opposite the base and the pad extends from the base to the tank. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, comprising: disposing a flexible diaphragm around the first portion of the post; coupling the flexible diaphragm with the post; and coupling the flexible diaphragm with the base, wherein the flexible diaphragm is configured to allow the post to move relative to the base. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the base comprises a receptacle to receive the first portion of the post, the first portion comprising a first diameter and the receptacle comprising a second diameter, the first diameter being less than the second diameter to facilitate a predetermined angle of deflection of the post. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The method of claim 15, wherein the predetermined angle of deflection is between 5 and 10 degrees. ### Claim 17 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the pad defines a first cavity and a second cavity, the method further comprising: positioning the pad around the second portion of the post such that the second portion is in the second cavity; coupling the tank with the post such that the tank is positioned in the first cavity. wherein the first cavity has a first cavity diameter and the second cavity has a second cavity diameter, the first cavity diameter less than the second cavity diameter. ### Claim 18 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the pad defines an inner ridge, the method further comprising interfacing a bottom surface of the tank with the inner ridge, such that the tank prevents translational movement of the pad relative to the post. ### Claim 19 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the base comprises a first base portion and a second base portion, the first base portion comprising a reservoir and the second base portion comprising a handle. ### Claim 20 (depends on 13) The method of claim 13, wherein the base comprises a first base portion and a second base portion, the method further comprising: disposing the first portion of the post in a receptacle of the first base portion, the first base portion comprising a first base reservoir and a handle; and coupling the second base portion with the first base portion, the second base portion comprising a second base reservoir.
