Abstract:
1. A method of adjusting resistance to exercise, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of weights; supporting the weights in respective first and second groups; providing a member having an intermediate handle sized and configured for grasping, and opposite first and second end portions sized and configured for movement into and out of alignment with respective said groups; providing a first selector on the member for selective engagement of a first subset of the weights; providing a second selector on the member for selective engagement of a discrete, second subset of the weights; operating the first selector in a first manner to selectively engage a desired number of the weights in the first subset; and operating the second selector in a discrete, second manner to selectively engage a desired number of the weights in the second subset, wherein operation of the second selector involves rotating the second selector into overlapping engagement with the desired number of the weights in the second subset.
