A hand-held exercise weight has first and second segments that are integrally interconnected to one another at a juncture in a manner that defines an acute angle between the two segments. The resulting configuration may be described as a j-shaped weight or a check-mark-shaped weight or an asymmetrical V-shaped weight, with an inside corner filleted by a first rounded curve and an outside corner filleted by a relatively larger, second rounded curve. The second segment is configured and arranged to alternatively comfortably overlie a person's forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a first orientation by all four fingers; comfortably overlie outwardly facing skin extending between a person's thumb and forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a second orientation by at least the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb; and fit comfortably between a person's forefinger and middle finger when the first segment is comfortably grasped by the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb.
