Patent ID: 7785240

Claim:
A system of weighted exercise rings comprising: a first weighted exercise ring having an outer ring that defines an interior opening and a handle fixed to outer ring and bisecting the interior opening to divide the outer ring into symmetrical halves, said outer ring having a circular cross section; a second weighted exercise ring having an outer ring that defines an interior opening and a handle fixed to the outer ring in the interior opening to bisect the outer ring of the second weighted exercise ring into symmetrical halves, said outer ring of the second weighted exercise ring having a circular cross section and a smaller interior opening than the interior opening of the first weighted exercise ring; and, a third weighted exercise ring having an outer ring that defines an interior opening and a handle fixed to the outer ring in the interior opening to bisect the outer ring of the third weight into symmetrical halves, said outer ring of the third weighted exercise ring having a circular cross section and a smaller interior opening than the interior openings of the first and second weighted exercise rings; and a coupling means that couples one of the handles and outer rings of the first, second, and third weighted exercise rings together such that the handles of the first, second, and third weighted exercise rings overlap one another, wherein a first configuration of said system of weighted exercise rings is balanced, symmetrical and has the second and third exercise rings arranged atop the first exercise ring such that the outer rings of the second and third exercise rings are arranged within a plane extending upwards from the outer ring of the first exercise ring with the handles stacked atop one another, and wherein a second configuration of said system of weighted exercise rings is balanced, asymmetrical and has the second and third exercise rings arranged atop the first exercise ring such that portions of the outer rings of the second and third exercise rings are arranged outside of the plane extending upwards from the outer ring of the first exercise ring.
