Abstract
An inertial weight for physical conditioning includes a hollow housing having an inner cavity with first and second spaced apart opposed ends and defining a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The inner cavity tapers transversely outwardly along the longitudinal axis from a mid section to each of the first and second spaced apart opposed ends. A viscous fluid mass is carried in the inner cavity, the viscous mass filling the inner cavity less than full to allow the viscous mass to move within the inner cavity. An attachment member is affixed to at last one of the opposed ends.

An intertial weight for physical conditioning comprising:
- a hollow housing having an inner cavity with first and second spaced apart opposed ends and defining a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the inner cavity tapering transversely outwardly along the longitudinal axis from a mid section to each of the first and second spaced apart opposed ends;
- a viscous mass carried in the inner cavity, the viscous mass filling the inner cavity less than full to allow the viscous mass to flow within the inner cavity;
- and
- a cylindrical attachment member fixed to at least one of the opposed ends, the cylindrical attachment member having one end extending longitudinally into the housing and having a plurality of fins extending radially and outwardly from the one end of the cylindrical attachment for engaging the inner cavity of the housing.
An inertial weight for physical conditioning comprising:
- a hollow housing having a cylindrical inner cavity with first and second spaced apart opposed ends and defining a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, the inner cavity tapering transversely outwardly along the longitudinal axis from a mid section to each of the first and second spaced apart opposed ends;
- a viscous mass including weight particles with a coating of viscous fluid, the viscous mass carried in the inner cavity, the viscous mass filling the inner cavity less than full to allow the viscous mass to flow within the inner cavity from one of the first and second spaced apart opposed ends to the other during movement of the inertial weight;
- a pair of cylindrical attachment members one each affixed to each of the first and second spaced apart opposed ends, each cylindrical attachment member having one end extending longitudinally into the housing and having a plurality of fins extending radially and outwardly from the one end of each of the cylindrical attachments for engaging the inner cavity of the housing.
