An exercise system, comprising:
- a first exercise device configured for resistance training and comprising one or more first couplers disposed on one or more exterior surfaces of the first exercise device, the one or more first couplers being quick connect type couplers;
- and
- a second exercise device comprising a second coupler configured to be releasably coupled to a first coupler of the one or more first couplers.
An exercise system, comprising:
- a dumbbell comprising a shaft and a weight coupled to each end of the shaft, each weight having an outer surface with a recess formed therein and a first coupler disposed within the recess such that an end of the first coupler is flush or substantially flush with adjacent portions of the outer surface when the first coupler is uncoupled;
- and
- an exercise device comprising and a second coupler, the second coupler configured to releasably couple to either of the first couplers in a load-bearing manner and to support the dumbbell by the exercise device in a plurality of orientations while permitting the dumbbell to be used as a stand-alone dumbbell when the first couplers are uncoupled.
