Abstract
An exercise apparatus, and method for its use, including at least one water fillable device that serves as a weight, a support assembly, and a rope or wire assembly. The support assembly may be configured to allow mounting to a door or other convenient place. The rope or wire assembly may be connected to the water fillable device at one end, and to one or more handles at the other end, with its center slidingly engaging the support assembly. When a person wishes to exercise, the device may be removed from a water-tight traveling container, the water fillable device filled with water from any convenient source, the support assembly mounted over, for example a door, and exercise commenced. When exercise is concluded, the support is dismounted, water is drained from the water fillable device, and the apparatus may be stored in a carrying bag or container of small volume.
