Abstract: An apparatus for arranging a free-weight for exercise. A first band of pliable material is constructed into a loop and has a width that permits threading the loop through an opening in the free-weight thereby forming a first loop portion adjacent to the first side of the free-weight and a second loop portion adjacent to the second side of the free-weight. A second band of pliable material has a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the first band of material and arranged to be attached to the first loop portion of the first band of material. A receiving member is attached to the second loop portion of the first band of material and arranged for attachment to the second end of the second band of material.
