A hand-held exercise weight has first and second segments that are integrally interconnected to one another at a juncture in a manner that defines an acute angle between the two segments. The resulting configuration may be described as a j-shaped weight or a check-mark-shaped weight or an asymmetrical V-shaped weight, with an inside corner filleted by a first rounded curve and an outside corner filleted by a relatively larger, second rounded curve. The second segment is configured and arranged to alternatively comfortably overlie a person's forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a first orientation by all four fingers; comfortably overlie outwardly facing skin extending between a person's thumb and forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a second orientation by at least the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb; and fit comfortably between a person's forefinger and middle finger when the first segment is comfortably grasped by the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb.
A hand-held exercise weight sized and configured to be held in a person's hand that includes a thumb, a forefinger, and three other fingers, comprising a mass of metal comprising a first segment, a second segment, and a juncture integrally interconnected therebetween, wherein the first segment is sized and configured to be grasped the person's hand with the person's thumb wrapped in a first direction about the first segment and the person's three other fingers wrapped in an opposite, second direction about the first segment, and the second segment is sized and configured to hook over a portion of the person's hand when the first segment is grasped, and the first segment and the juncture cooperate to define an overall length of the mass, and a plane extends perpendicular to the length and divides the mass into a first half that occupies less than one-third of the length, including all of the juncture, and a second half that occupiers more than two-thirds of the length, including a majority of the first segment.
A hand-held exercise weight sized and configured to be held in a person's hand that includes a thumb, a forefinger, and three other fingers, comprising:
