Abstract:
1. An exercise device, comprising: at least one vibrational member serving as a vibration source; a contact element for grasping the exercise device by a trainee while performing exercise with the exercise device; a power interface adapted to enable powering the vibrational member; one or more attachments connected to the vibrational member, wherein said attachments include an elastic member or biasing member forming an aerobic exercise device that is adapted to resist the trainee's motion during an aerobic workout; or wherein said attachments include an aquatic member that is designed to provide buoyancy or resist motion through water forming an aquatic exercise device; or wherein said attachments are weights forming a barbell and the weights are made up from a plurality of small unit masses, each unit mass cushioned by a cushioning material; and wherein the contact element is vibrated by the at least one vibrational member to deliver vibrational energy into muscles of the trainee while reducing absorption of vibrational energy by the attachments.
