Abstract

A shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device that includes: a circular tube; a plurality of weighted balls within the tube; a hand bar with a hand grip, where the hand bar extends across the inner diameter of the tube, said hand bar including two sliding end points; and movement control mechanisms which engage the two sliding end points and limit the radial movement of the sliding end points. The shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device also may include an opening on the inner diameter of the circular tube, where the opening allows the insertion of weighted balls into the tube. In one particular embodiment, the circular tube may include handgrips on an outer surface of the tube. The plurality of weighted balls used with the device may vary in weight and thus the composite weight of the plurality of weighted balls may vary as desired by the user.

1 . A shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device comprising:
 a. a circular tube;   b. a plurality of weighted balls within the tube;   c. a hand bar with a hand grip, where the hand bar extends across the inner diameter of the tube, said hand bar including two sliding end points; and   d. movement control mechanisms which engage the two sliding end points and limit the radial movement of the sliding end points.   
     
     
         2 . The shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device according to  claim 1 , further comprising an opening on the inner diameter of the circular tube, where the opening allows the insertion of weighted balls into the tube. 
     
     
         3 . The shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device according to  claim 1 , where the circular tube include handgrips on an outer surface of the tube. 
     
     
         4 . The shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device according to  claim 1 , where the plurality of weighted balls vary in weight. 
     
     
         5 . The shoulder and rotator cuff exercise device according to  claim 1 , where the composite weight of the plurality of weighted balls varies. 
     
     
         6 . A method of exercising shoulder and rotator cuff comprising the steps of:
 a. gripping a hand grip of a circular exercise device, where the hand grip comprises a portion of a hand bar that extends across a diameter of the circular exercise device;   b. inserting weighted balls into an interior chamber of the circular exercise device;   c. rotating the circular exercise device in alternating circular movement; and   d. continuing the alternating circular movement for a period of time or a number of repetitions.
