Heavy duty fitness equipment bag

Abstract

A weighted exercise device includes an inner bag for filler content containment; and an outer bag, wherein the inner and outer bags have a reinforced double closure to eliminate leaking, bursting, migration or seepage of filler content.

1 . A weighted exercise device, comprising:
 an inner bag for filler content containment; and   an outer bag, wherein the inner and outer bags have a reinforced double closure to eliminate leaking, bursting, migration or seepage of filler content.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforced double closure comprises an outer zipper with an inner closure being a hook and loop fastener directly beneath the outer zipper, where the inner closure substantially prevents sand from reaching the outer zipper and prevents fouling after filling the inner bag. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein the inner closure provided by a dense hook and loop strip(s) substantially prevents sand from reaching zipper and prevents fouling after being filled. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the double closure comprises a zip-loc type closure, screw cap closure, cap type closure. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the reinforced double closure comprises an outer hook and loop fastener with an inner closure being a zipper directly beneath the outer hook and loop fasterner, where the inner closure substantially prevents sand from reaching the outer zipper and prevents fouling after filling the inner bag. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the filler content comprises sand, or other weighty materials that the user has access to. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the bags are collapsible after draining the filler content for mobility and wherein the bags are easily refilled with the filler content for exercise. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer bag comprises a ball. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer bag comprises a tubular bag. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the outer bag comprises oppositely positioned ergonomic padded handles, handle grips and side end panels 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 10 , comprising:
 a second set of handles running substantially perpendicular to the length of a tubular bag body; and   grips positioned atop the tubular bag, and   a second set of lateral handles located on or near the sides of the tubular bag.   
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the padded handle comprises
 a multilayered fabric forming two plies with a midway point defined by bar tacks, and a durable filled grip between the two plies for grip strength and volume;   handle bases at the opposite ends of handles with two plies   
     
     
         13 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the padded handle is flared out at handle bases to provide additional structure for tossing purpose. 
     
     
         14 . The device of  claim 10 , wherein the padded handle comprises a hand pocket sleeve to receive a hand during exercise. 
     
     
         15 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising a three-ply laminated material composed of industrial strength, open cell foam and backing material. 
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising one or more zipped openings or end sleeves. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 1 , comprising an accessory component system that would allow for more than one bag to be used together or to strap to the user or a fixed point or other exercise equipment. 
     
     
         18 . A method for exercising with a weighted exercise device including an inner bag for filler content containment and an outer bag, wherein the inner and outer bags have a reinforced double closure to eliminate leaking, bursting, migration or seepage of filler content, wherein the reinforced double closure comprises an outer zipper with an inner closure being a hook and loop fastener directly beneath the outer zipper, where the inner closure substantially prevents sand from reaching the outer zipper and prevents fouling after filling the inner bag, the method comprising:
 filling the inner bag by
 unzipping the zipper, 
 opening the hook and loop closure, 
 pouring a desired amount of filler material inside to desired weight; 
 securing the hook and loop closure; 
 securing the zipper; and 
 placing the inner bag inside the outer bag. 
   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , comprising swinging the unique weighted bag around the users body in various planes, thus challenging all muscle groups and stability patterns in ways other exercise equipment cannot safely do. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , comprising strapping or enclosing the exercise device with a weighted exercise bag accessory for increased exercise movement potentials. 
     
     
         21 . The method of  claim 18 , comprising:
 swinging the bag between two legs;   snatching the bag to an intermediate disposition;   completing a snatch of the bag by moving the bag to an overhead disposition;   turning a body with the bag overhead;   shifting of bag weight to provide muscle building of minor muscle groups,   building muscle groups around a wrist and back and stomach regions.
