<p>A blow-moldable container (36), having a centrally located handle (50) spanning a central aperture (4) has improved balance over existing containers and may be used as an exercise weight or as a container for pourable liquids. An integrally molded base (78) allows the container to be stood upright on end. The inclusion of fitably engageable contours (41, 47) on its top and bottom surfaces allows it to be stacked with others of its kind (Figs. 24-26). Such weights may be shipped empty, and filled with water by the consumer, thus slashing shipping costs. Blow-moldable, two-handed freeweights (barbells) are also disclosed (Figs. 16-23, 29 and 30). Auxiliary weights (22) may be attached. Voids (82) to fitably engage a user's feet add to their utility. A deck member (94), as well as base members (97), may be stackably combined with the weights (36) to form a steeping platform for aerobics, or an exercise bench.</p> |
