Exercise bar and method

An exercise bar comprising:

• an axially extending, cylindrical handle section having a first end and a second end, and a diametrically opposed consistent circular cross-section across an entire axial length of the handle;
• at least one of a first frustoconical end and a second frustoconical end, said first frustoconical end having a first end having a first circular cross-section and smoothly abutting said first end of said handle section and a distal end, the first frustoconical end gradually radially expanding to a second circular cross-section at a point between the first end and the distal end of the first frustoconical end, said second frustoconical end having a first end having a first circular cross-section and smoothly abutting said second end of said handle section and a distal end, the second frustoconical end gradually radially expanding to a second circular cross-section at a point between the first end and the distal end of the second frustoconical end;
• wherein the diametrically consistent circular cross-section is the same as the first circular cross-section of the first frustoconical end and the first circular cross-section of the second frustoconical end;
• and
• wherein the diameter of the first circular cross-section of each of said first frustoconical end and the second frustoconical end is smaller than the diameter of the second circular cross-section of each first frustoconical end and the second frustoconical end.
