The top and bottom surfaces of the cylindrical surface may be rounded, beveled, flat, or have other shapes. .

The exercise apparatus of the present technology including a cylindrical first frame member uses different size frame members, e.g., different lengths along the central axis of the cylinder, to achieve different weights for the exercise apparatus. It may include a cylindrical portion having a thickness. For example, an exercise device with a cylindrical first frame member and a weight of 30 pounds (13.6 kg) will weigh less than an exercise device with a cylindrical first frame member weighing 45 pounds (20.4 kg). can have shorter length cylinders (having the same first radius, second radius, and the same second, third, and fourth frame members).

In some examples, exercise equipment having a substantially cylindrical first frame portion may have a weight of 15-100 pounds (6.80-45.4 kg). In some examples, an exercise apparatus having a cylindrical first frame member may have multiple scales, each scale associated with a range of weight configurations. For example, the first range of weight settings may have the same dimensions for the second frame member, the third frame member, and the fourth frame member, with varying lengths based on the weight of the particular exercise equipment. and may have a first overall length, while the second range of weight settings comprises the second frame member, the third frame member, and the fourth may have the same dimensions for the frame members of the first frame member may have a cylindrical first frame member having a length that varies based on the weight of the particular exercise apparatus; and the weight setting in the second range.

The method may be utilized with embodiments of exercise equipment. The method may include performing one or more exercises with exercise equipment. A user may pick up the exercise equipment and place their hands in positions such as those described in the paragraph above. A user may perform exercises such as those described in the paragraph above. When the user completes the exercise, the user may hold the hands in the same position or move the hands to set different positions on the exercise equipment and then perform another exercise. Alternatively, in both cases the user may perform the same exercise that was just performed.

Embodiments of the exercise apparatus may provide the advantage of substantially even weight distribution across the apparatus, such as longitudinally end-to-end or laterally side-to-side. A substantially uniform weight distribution allows the user to precisely control the resistance applied to the hand by placing the hand at different positions on the exercise device longitudinally, laterally, or both. to The user may be provided with several areas on the exercise device that may suit their hand morphology.

In embodiments, the weight of the exercise equipment may be unevenly distributed.

Embodiments of exercise equipment may provide stackability or storability advantages. When the exercise equipment is stacked or stored outside of stacking, one or more of the exercise equipment can be placed one behind the other. When stacking or storing the exercise equipment, the exercise equipment can be compact in the amount of space occupied. Embodiments of the exercise apparatus may provide the advantage of being used without weights or the work of modifying or assembling weighted apparatus. The single piece design saves the user time and effort when exercising with the exercise equipment.
