Abstract
An exercise device having a jumprope mounted to a bar by means of rigid standoff rods also has means for receving a selected weight at either end of the bar. A user skipping the jumprope must manipulate both the rope and the weights. The quantity of weight, length of jumprope and the position of hand grips on the bar are all adjustable by the user. In one embodiment, the weights are radially offset from the bar, requiring the user to manipulate an unbalanced weight while skipping the rope.

An exercise device, comprising:
- a bar for grasping intermediate opposite ends thereof, the bar defining an axis;
- hand grips including tubes rotatable around the bar and means for axially retaining the tubes on the bar;
- a plurality of weights disposed at said opposite ends of the bar, and means for axially retaining the weights on the bar;
- a pair of standoff rods, each attachable to the bar by one end and aligned perpendicular to the bar, parallel to one another and spaced from said opposite ends of the bar, the rods having compression fittings at free ends remote from the bar;
- and
- a flexible line attaching said stand off rods, the flexible line being attached to said stand off rods at the compression fittings at the free ends thereof, whereby a user can exercise by simultaneously skipping the flexible line and manipulating the bar bearing said weights.
