ABSTRACT:
The exerciser of the invention is of a type of apparatus generally classified as a "skip rope". However, instead of having a rope coupled between a pair of handles, the exerciser of the invention utilizes a length of hollow tubing in which an amount of metal shot is added to exert a pulling force on a user's muscles during a "skip" exercise. The tubing is also detachable from either or both of its handles, to adjustably permit shot to be further added or removed according to the strength of the person utilizing the exerciser and/or to adjust the length of the tubing according to the user's height. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a pair of "stops" are incorporated at opposing positions on the tubing, so as to prevent the shot traveling from end-to-end, and so as to create a "shot-free" zone at that length of tubing which strikes the floor during the normal "skipping" exercise. In this preferred embodiment, additionally, a length of tubing of smaller diameter may alternatively be coupled between the "stops" in this "shot-free" zone, so as not only to promote a quieter environment when "skipping", but to also reduce the number of "misses" as the exerciser is being used.
