14. An exercise device, comprising:
- an upper housing;
a lower housing, the lower housing provided with a central cavity for insertion of one or more removable weights, each of the upper and lower housings further including a frame and a pair of outer openings, one opening at either side of the central cavity;
a pair of rotating handle assemblies provided in corresponding outer openings; and
a weight selection assembly for selecting a desired amount of weight for insertion in the central cavity.

Abstract
An exercise device, method of making the device and a method and system for interaction with an exercise device, in which removable, variable weight may be provided in a housing of the device. Two rotatable handles may be provided in the housing, permitting various hand orientations during exercise. The removable weight may be provided near the center of the exercise device, with the handles substantially outboard the weight. Weight may thus be efficiently added or removed in a central area of the housing between the handles.

17. A method of fabricating an exercise device, comprising:
-
forming an upper housing;
forming a lower housing, each of the upper and lower housing composed of a frame provided with a central opening and an outer opening on either side of the central opening, the lower housing further including a cavity;
forming a weight selection assembly adapted to select a removable weight;
forming a pair of handle assemblies;
inserting each handle assembly in a corresponding outer opening of the lower housing so as to be supported by the lower housing frame;
inserting the weight selection assembly through the central opening in the upper housing; and
attaching the upper housing to the lower housing so that at least a portion of the weight selection assembly extends in the cavity of the lower housing. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
