[0001] The invention relates to hand-held implements for exercising the human body.
[0002] Hand held implements can enhance the benefits of exercise, especially those movements involved in yoga, martial arts and physical therapy. The hand-held implements increase the weight of the arms in the movements, requiring exertion of muscular effort beyond that required for merely performing the yoga movements. The use of these implements makes it possible to strengthen and tone the arm, shoulder and chest muscles associated with movement of the arms.
[0003] The invention relates to a weight training device having a weight disk with a front face, a back face and a peripheral edge. Five fingers can be inserted into at least two finger cavities permitting a user to grip the weight disk in a comfortable manner for lifting purposes. The weight disk preferably has five finger cavities that extend through the thickness of the weight disk. In order to perform exercises the user grips the weight disk with his/her hand and lifts the disk into different arm positions. The disk adds weight to each of the movements strengthening the arm, hand and shoulder.
