  • Patent number: 12268913
    Abstract: An exercise weight for strengthening muscles. The exercise weight includes a body having a holding portion that extends between a first distal region and second distal region thereof. The holding portion forms a continuous surface that is curved such that a diameter of the holding portion is narrowest at a proximal point of the holding portion and widest at a first radial edge and an opposing second radial edge. The first and second distal regions are each dome shaped and extend from the first radial edge and the second radial edge, respectively. The holding portion can be received between the inner thighs of a user to add resistance when performing various exercises, such as leg lifts, planks, pull-ups, dips, and the like. In some embodiments, the body includes a weight receiving channel extending therethrough, wherein an elongated weight is positioned within the weight receiving channel.
