Exercise Device

Abstract

An exercise device and system comprised of a rod attached to a weighted object that can strike a structurally substantial surface without significant impact damage.

1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a rod; and   at least one weighted object coupled to the rod;   wherein the weighted object is capable of absorbing impact force so that when the weighted object strikes a structurally sound surface, the structural soundness of the surface remains unchanged.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise devise of  claim 1 , wherein a cross-section of the rod is elliptical. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise devise of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the rod has a non-slip grip. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise devise of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object has one or more cavities. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise devise of  claim 4 , wherein the cavities are arranged in a pattern. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise devise of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object is comprised of urethane. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object is spherical. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise devise of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object is coupled to the rod with a self-locking mechanism. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise devise of  claim 8 , wherein the weighted object is removable from the rod. 
     
     
         10 . An exercise system, comprising:
 a rod; and   a plurality of weighted objects interchangeably couplable to the rod;   wherein each weighted object is capable of absorbing impact force so that when the weighted object strikes a structurally sound surface, the structural soundness of the surface remains unchanged.   
     
     
         11 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein a cross-section of the rod is elliptical. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein at least a portion of the rod has a non-slip grip. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein at least one weighted object is has one or more cavities. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise system of  claim 13 , wherein the cavities are arranged in a pattern. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein each weighted object is comprised of urethane. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein each weighted object is spherical. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein each weighted object is couplable to the rod with a self-locking mechanism. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , further comprising a plurality of rods. 
     
     
         19 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein each weighted object is of a different weight than the remaining weighted objects. 
     
     
         20 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , wherein each weighted object is of a different size than the remaining weighted objects. 
     
     
         21 . The exercise system of  claim 10 , further comprising at least one strikeable surface. 
     
     
         22 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a rod; and   at least one weighted object coupled to the rod;   wherein the weighted object is capable of absorbing impact force so that when the weighted object strikes a surface, the majority of the impact force is absorbed by the weighted object.
