Patent attributes
The invention is a dumbbell adapted for lifting by the legs. In particular, it is designed to fit in the crook of the knee for exercises such as the kneeling dumbbell leg lift and the fire hydrant leg lift. The handle is offset from center, flush with the top of the weights to prevent the dumbbell from rolling down the calf. The weights are fixedly attached to the handle so they do not rotate. The weights have a horseshoe shape, elongated vertically so they do not slip off the leg, and flattened at the bottom for stability on the floor. The weights also taper inward at the base to hold the leg firmly. Options include an adjustable length handle, magnetic additional weights, a handle cushion, and an electronic user interface to adjust the number of reps and the rest period.
