Abstract: A weight plate having rotatable handles is disclosed. By rotating, the handles provide a sure grip to the user, while allowing the user to perform various exercises without adjusting his or her grip on the device. The handles also facilitate the safe loading and unloading of the device on plate-loaded exercise equipment. The weight plate may thus be used as a stand-alone exercise device, as a weight plate loaded onto a barbell or dumbbell bar, or as a weight plate used on plate-loaded exercise equipment.

Abstract: An improved dumbbell having a bar with permanently and securely attached weighted heads is disclosed. A pin passing through a bore in the weighted heads and each end of the bar holds the weighted heads securely in place. The weighted heads have a circumference of circular shape, and are coated with a resilient material. The exterior surface of the resilient material has a multi-sided circumference. The circular shape of the circumference of the weighted heads prevents the weighted heads from digging into the resilient coating when the dumbbell is in use or is dropped.
