Abstract

A balancing exercise rod apparatus for working out while walking or jogging includes a grip bar having a left end and a right end. A pair of wheels is coupled to the grip bar. The pair of wheels includes a left wheel and a right wheel rotatably coupled to the left end and the right end of the grip bar, respectively. Each of the wheels has a hub rotatably coupled to the grip bar, a plurality of spokes extending from the hub, and a rim portion. The rim portion has an inner side, an outer side, an interior face, and an exterior face. The plurality of spokes extends from the hub to the interior face. A plurality of wheel weights is coupled to the pair of wheels. The plurality of wheel weights is coupled within the rim portion.

Claims (18)

1. A balancing exercise rod apparatus comprising:

a grip bar, the grip bar having a left end and a right end;

a pair of wheels coupled to the grip bar, the pair of wheels including a left wheel and a right wheel rotatably coupled to the left end and the right end of the grip bar, respectively, each wheel of the pair of wheels having a hub rotatably coupled to the grip bar, a plurality of spokes extending from the hub, and a rim portion, the rim portion having an inner side, an outer side, an interior face, and an exterior face, the plurality of spokes extending from the hub to the interior face;

a plurality of wheel weights coupled to the pair of wheels, the plurality of wheel weights being coupled within the rim portion of each wheel of the pair of wheels;

the grip bar having a plurality of bar cavities; a plurality of bar weights being coupled to the grip bar, the plurality of bar weights being selectively engageable within the plurality of bar cavities; and

each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights having a curved outer face conforming to a curvature of the grip bar, a thickness of each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights being greater than a depth of each bar cavity of the plurality of bar cavities to allow for an exposed bar weight portion of each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights while engaged within an associated one of the bar cavities of the plurality of bar cavities.

2. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the inner side and the outer side of the rim portion of each wheel of the pair of wheels having a plurality of wheel cavities; the plurality of wheel weights being selectively engageable within the plurality of wheel cavities.

3. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 2 further comprising each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities being evenly radially spaced around the hub of each wheel of the pair of wheels.

4. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 2 further comprising each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights conforming to the profile of each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities, a thickness of each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights being greater than a depth of each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities to allow for an exposed wheel weight portion of each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights while engaged within an associated one of the wheel cavities of the plurality of wheel cavities.

5. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of reflectors coupled to the pair of wheels.

6. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 5 further comprising the plurality of reflectors being coupled to the exterior face of each rim portion.

7. The balancing exercise rod apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the grip bar having an inner bar portion and an outer pad portion.

8. A balancing exercise rod apparatus comprising:

a grip bar, the grip bar having a left end and a right end, the grip bar having an inner bar portion and an outer pad portion, the grip bar having a plurality of bar cavities extending through the outer pad portion and into the inner bar portion;

a plurality of bar weights being coupled to the grip bar, the plurality of bar weights being selectively engageable within the plurality of bar cavities, each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights having a curved outer face conforming to a curvature of the grip bar, a thickness of each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights being greater than a depth of each bar cavity of the plurality of bar cavities to allow for an exposed bar weight portion of each bar weight of the plurality of bar weights while engaged within an associated bar cavity of the plurality of bar cavities;

a pair of wheels coupled to the grip bar, the pair of wheels including a left wheel and a right wheel rotatably coupled to the left end and the right end of the grip bar, respectively, each wheel of the pair of wheels having a hub rotatably coupled to the grip bar, a plurality of spokes extending from the hub, and a rim portion, the rim portion having an inner side, an outer side, an interior face, and an exterior face, the plurality of spokes extending from the hub to the interior face, the inner side and the outer side having a plurality of wheel cavities, each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities being evenly radially spaced around the hub;

a plurality of wheel weights coupled to the pair of wheels, the plurality of wheel weights being selectively engageable within the plurality of wheel cavities, each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights conforming to the profile of each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities, a thickness of each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights being greater than a depth of each wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities to allow for an exposed wheel weight portion of each wheel weight of the plurality of wheel weights while engaged within an associated wheel cavity of the plurality of wheel cavities; and

a plurality of reflectors coupled to the pair of wheels, the plurality of reflectors being coupled to the exterior face of the rim portion of each wheel of the pair of wheels.
