Exercise dumbbell

Abstract

An exercise dumbbell that is configured to be manufactured from a sustainable material and further configured to provide alternate weight configurations. The present invention includes a support bar member that is manufactured from bamboo having a hollow passage extending therethrough. An internal support rod is present within the support bar member and extends the length thereof. Opposing ends of the internal support rod are configured to receive fasteners thereof so as to secure a first weight member and a second weight member. The first weight member and the second weight member are manufactured in a preferred embodiment from natural stones. In a preferred embodiment the first weight member and the second weight member have different weights. The first weight member and second weight member include recesses formed on the surface thereof operable to receive a portion of the ends of the support bar member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise dumbbell comprising:
 a support bar member, said support bar member being rod-shaped, said support bar member having a first end and a second end, said support bar member being manufactured from bamboo, said support bar member having an internal rod member disposed therein, said internal rod member being manufactured from metal, said internal rod member extending the length of the support bar member;   a first weight member, said first weight member being secured to said first end of said support bar member, said first weight member having an exterior surface, said first weight member being manufactured from a stone; and   a second weight member, said second weight member being secured to said second end of said support bar member, said second weight member having an exterior surface, said second weight member being manufactured from a stone.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise dumbbell as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first weight member further includes a recess formed in the exterior surface thereof proximate to the first end of the support bar member, said recess of said first weight member configured to receive a portion of the first end of the support bar member therein. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise dumbbell as recited in  claim 2 , wherein the first weight member and the second weight member have a weight that is different. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise dumbbell as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said second weight member further includes a recess formed in the exterior surface thereof proximate to the second end of the support bar member, said recess of said second weight member configured to receive a portion of the second end of the support bar member therein. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise dumbbell as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said first weight member and said second weight member are secured in position via fasteners wherein the fasteners are operably coupled to opposing ends of the internal support rod. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise dumbbell as recited in  claim 5 , wherein the support bar member is provided in a length between five and seven inches.
