ABSTRACT:
A hanging apparatus (10) for a dumbbell (12) of the type having a straight cylindrical bar (14), a sleeve (16) on the straight cylindrical bar (14) and weights (18) at opposite ends. The hanging apparatus (10) comprises a frame (20) having a hook (22) at a first end. A structure (24) is for attaching a second end of the frame (20) to the straight cylindrical bar (14) of a dumbbell (12). The hook (22) will suspend the dumbbell (12) from a support shaft (26), enabling a person (28) using the dumbbell (12) not to reach down to a floor to pick up the dumbbell (12) and lower the dumbbell (12) back to the floor upon completion of a workout. These movements would put undue strain on forearm (30) and elbow joint ligaments and can cause severe damage to the entire arm muscles, tendons and tissues of the person (28).
