Exercise device for use in a body of water

Abstract

A connector tube has opposite sealed ends. The two ends of the connector tube are inserted into a central bore at opposite ends of an elongated flotation device. The diameter of the connector tube is greater than a diameter of the central bore located at the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device. The diameter of the connector tube may be 25% to 75% greater than the diameter of the bore through the elongated flotation device.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An exercise device for use in a body of water, said exercise device comprising
 an elongated flotation device, said elongated flotation device having a centrally located bore at least at opposite ends of the elongated flotation device, and   a connector tube located in said opposite ends of said elongated flotation device, a diameter of said connector tube being at least 25% greater than a diameter of said centrally located bore at the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the connector tube is sealed at opposite ends. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the connector tube is held in the centrally located bore of the elongated flotation device by a friction fit. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device are spaced from each other. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device according to  claim 4 , wherein at least one piece of flotation material is positioned on the connector tube between the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the diameter of the connector tube is 25 to 75% greater than the diameter of the centrally located bore at the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device according to  claim 5 , wherein a gap formed between the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device is filled with pieces of flotation material located on the connector tube. 
     
     
         8 . An exercise device for use in a body of water, said exercise device comprising
 an elongated flotation device, said elongated flotation device having a centrally located bore at least at opposite ends of the elongated flotation device, and   a connector tube located in said opposite ends of said elongated flotation device, a diameter of said connector tube being greater than a diameter of said centrally located bore at the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device.   
     
     
         9 . The exercise device according to  claim 8 , wherein the connector tube is sealed at opposite ends. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device according to  claim 8 , wherein the connector tube is held in the centrally located bore of the elongated flotation device by a friction fit. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device according to  claim 8 , wherein the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device are spaced from each other. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device according to  claim 11 , wherein at least one piece of flotation material is positioned on the connector tube between the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device according to  claim 8 , wherein the diameter of the connector tube is 25 to 75% greater than the diameter of the centrally located bore at the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device according to  claim 12 , wherein a gap formed between the opposite ends of the elongated flotation device is filled with pieces of flotation material located on the connector tube.
