Abstract: A drinking mug that doubles as an exercise apparatus is formed of non-toxic porcelain ceramic, glass, or wire reinforced glass. The combination of dimensions of the mug adds up to a total mass of at least 1.360 kilograms and possesses the ratio of dimensions of substantially 1, 3.9, 3.9, 2.443, 5.777, and 4.0 between the thickness of a base, diameter of the base, outer diameter of a barrel, inner diameter of the barrel at the end where the barrel connects to the base, height of the barrel, and vertical length of the handle, respectively. A neoprene material lines the base, handle, and the outside barrel surface. A substantially circular brim serves as a surface transition between the inside and outside surfaces of the cylindrical barrel and can contain a plurality of substantially concave scoops, each centered approximately ninety radial degrees offset of the handle.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a beverage mug which doubles as an upper extremity exercise apparatus. For all embodiments of the present invention, the apparatus is comprised of a base connected to and closing off one end of a substantially cylindrical wall to form a beverage containing vessel. On the opposite or remaining open end of said vessel is the brim. A solid handle is connected to cylindrical wall. Said vessel and handle are made from non-toxic porcelain ceramic, glass, wire reinforced glass, or similar material with density that is greater than liquid water. Said cylindrical wall and base not in contact with the beverage are lined with one or more layers of material with modulus of elasticity and coefficient of friction properties substantially similar to neoprene. To maximize mass, said cylindrical wall and base are dimensioned so that said cylindrical wall and base weigh more than liquid water at the full capacity of said apparatus.
