Abstract
A device for exercising when partially submerged in water. The device includes a dumbbell shaped floatation member for providing buoyant resistance once submerged underwater. This dumbbell shaped member can accept extensions on either end thereof. A second dumbbell member and a second pair of extensions is provided. A third component of the buoyancy system is a buoyancy member that would threadably engage both dumbbell shaped members to provide for a barbell shaped device for submerging underwater and providing buoyant resistance for the user to work against. The pairs of extension may be threadably engaged either end of the barbell member.
Claims5
An exercise system for use submerged in water, the exercise system comprising:
- a first floatation element having a grasping member having first and second ends and including a pair of buoyant masses on the said ends of the grasping member, a second floatation element, and a third floatation element, the floatation elements having a specific gravity of less than one, the second and third floatation elements being adapted to engage the first floatation element, the second and third floatation elements each having grasping members and a pair of buoyant masses on the ends thereof;
- a first pair of extension members for releasably engaging the buoyant masses of the first floatation element, the first pair of extension members comprising a material with a specific gravity of less than one;
- the second floatation element having a grasping member and pair of buoyant masses at the removed ends thereof, the second floatation element having a specific gravity of less than one;
- a second pair of extension members for engaging the buoyant masses of the second floatation element, the second pair of extension members having a specific gravity of less than one;
- means for releasably joining the first floatation element to the second floatation element, wherein means for releasably joining the first floatation element to the second floatation element at least partially comprises a material with a specific gravity less than one wherein the material comprising at least part of the first floatation element is foam.
