         3 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of attachment members attached to an exterior portion of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of one or more of the plurality of panels is reinforced with a reinforcement material. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more cinch straps. 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the plurality of handles is configured to be removably attached in at least two different positions on an exterior portion of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interior compartment includes a reinforcement board. 
     
     
         8 . A method of using an adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus comprising:
 inserting one or more deformable exercise articles into an adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus, the one or more deformable exercise articles having a pliable exterior and filled with a particulate material or water;   securing the one or more of the deformable exercise articles in an interior compartment of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus;   attaching one or more exercise devices to an exterior portion of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus;   performing an exercise using the one or more exercise devices, wherein the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus provides resistance to a force imposed by the one or more exercise devices.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more deformable exercise articles are comprised of at least one weighted bag having a generally circular shape. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more exercise devices comprised of at least one exercise device having a length of at least an order of magnitude larger than a diameter of the exercise device. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus is used as an anchor point. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus remains at least partially engaged with the ground throughout the exercise. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising stowing a plurality of shoulder straps. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein securing the plurality of deformable exercise articles includes adjusting a cinch strap. 
     
     
         15 . An adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus comprising:
 a plurality of panels adhered together to form an interior compartment;   a plurality of shoulder straps configured to be adjustable through the use of a fastener;   a strap compartment;   a plurality of handles; and   one or more deformable exercise articles having a pliable exterior and capable of being reversibly filled with a particulate material or water,   wherein the interior compartment includes a plurality of pouches configured to secure the plurality of deformable exercise articles.   
     
     
         16 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the fasteners are placed near the bottom of one of the plurality of panels. 
     
     
         17 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising a plurality of attachment members attached to an exterior portion of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus. 
     
     
         18 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein a perimeter of one or more of the plurality of panels is reinforced with a reinforcement material. 
     
     
         19 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 15 , further comprising one or more cinch straps. 
     
     
         20 . The adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein one or more of the plurality of handles is configured to be removably attached in at least two different positions on an exterior portion of the adjustable weighted multifunction fitness apparatus.
