Weight resistance device

Abstract

An exercise weight resistance device comprises a resistance band retaining member and a handle receiving portion. The handle receiving portion is shaped and configured to accept the bar portion of an exercise weight such that a user can hold the handle receiving portion against the bar portion of the weight when in use. The resistance band retaining member is configured to attach to a resistance band with a connection member. The weight can be a dumbbell, a barbell, a kettle bell, a weight resistance machine or cable weight stack system, or any other exercise device that utilizes movable weights.

1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a retaining member having a central region, a first end region and a second end region;   a handle receiving portion located in the central region of the retaining member, wherein said handle receiving portion features an upper side and a lower side, wherein said upper side is concave and configured, in use, to be placed against and in contact with a bar portion of a weight; and   at least one connection member located in at least one of the first end region and the second end region, wherein the connection member is configured to attach to a resistance band.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the weight is selected from the group consisting of a dumbbell, a barbell, a kettle bell, a round weight and other handheld weight, and wherein the weight can be of any mass. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the handle receiving portion includes a coating that aids in the gripping of the device. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the handle receiving portion includes cushioning. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining member is constructed from a polyester material and the handle receiving portion is constructed from an elastomer material. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 5 , wherein the handle receiving portion is molded over the central region of the retaining member. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the connection member includes at least one D-ring. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the retaining member is manufactured from a material including a heavy duty polyester strapping. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the resistance band includes an attachment device selected from the group consisting of a hook and loop, a clip, a clasp and a bolt snap. 
     
     
         10 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a retaining member with a first end and a second end;   a handle receiving portion surrounding at least a portion of the retaining member, wherein the handle receiving portion features an upper side and a lower side, wherein the upper side is configured to surround at a least a portion of an attachment location of an exercise device; and   at least one attachment mechanism configured to couple with the handle receiving portion, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to fixably secure the handle receiving portion with the portion of the attachment location of said exercise device.   
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the handle receiving portion is molded over the retaining member. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 10  further including at least one connection member located in at least one of the first and the second end regions, wherein the attachment mechanism is configured to attach to a resistance band. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the resistance band includes an attachment device which is selected from the group consisting of a hook and loop, a clip, a clasp and a bolt snap. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the retaining member is manufactured from a heavy duty polyester strapping. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise device of  claim 12 , wherein the connection member includes at least one D-ring. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the exercise device is selected from a group consisting of: a weight resistance machine or cable weight stack pulley system. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the exercise device features two attachment mechanisms.
