Abstract: A support apparatus for use during plyometric exercise. The apparatus includes a resilient body having a cuboid shape. A flexible cover is provided that surrounds the body. The cuboid body has a height, width and depth which are all of different lengths to each other such that the apparatus may be arranged in three different orientations in which an uppermost face defines a landing platform of three different heights. The body includes a foam core and a shock absorbing layer located at and bonded to the outer surface of the core that surrounds and encapsulates the core. The shock absorbing layer is formed of a foam material having a density greater than the foam core and is located at all six sides of the apparatus such that an intermediate layer is located at the upper face of the apparatus to define a landing platform whatever the orientation of the apparatus.

Abstract: A weighted exercise apparatus including an annular body having axially spaced annular faces and inner and outer side walls, the body section having a core including at least one weight member, a resilient material provided either side of the weight member at least in the axial direction, and a flexible cover layer.

Abstract: A weighted exercise apparatus having a body section containing a flowable weighted material movable within the housing. The housing has a longitudinal axis and longitudinally opposed end sections. A connection socket is located at each end section. A pair of handle members correspond to the connection sockets, having a connection end received within an open end of the corresponding connection socket. Each handle member includes at least one radially extending retractable locking pin and a radially extending rigid projection. The corresponding socket includes a channel rotationally receiving the projection and at least one aperture to receive the at least one locking pin. The projection and at least one locking pin are arranged such that when the locking pin is aligned with and received within the aperture the projection is received and longitudinally restrained within channel providing a secure yet easily releasable method of rotationally locking the handle relative to socket.
