1. An exercise device, comprising:
- an elongate body comprising (i) a hollow tubular member, made of metal material, that has a peripheral wall and (ii) end plates that seal opposite ends of the hollow tubular member, a plurality of cutouts being formed in the peripheral wall at an end of the tubular member;
a plug in at least one of the end plates, the plug being removable to allow admission of flowable material into the hollow tubular member, and attachable to seal the flowable material inside the hollow tubular member;
at least one first handle attached to an outer side surface of the elongate body, the at least one first handle being arranged such that when the elongate body is lifted by the at least one first handle, the elongate body is substantially horizontal, wherein the at least one first handle comprises at least one of the group consisting of (i) two handles that extend in a direction crossing the longitudinal axis of the elongate body and (ii) a handle that extends in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the elongate body; and
two second handles attached to an end of the elongate body, each of the two second handles spanning a respective one of the cutouts, the two handles being arranged such that when the elongate body is lifted by the two second handles, the elongate body is substantially vertical, the at least one first handle being positioned non-symmetrically with respect to the two second handles.

Abstract
An exercise device includes an elongate body, at least one first handle attached to an outer side surface of the elongate body, and at least one second handle attached to an end of the elongate body. The at least one first handle is arranged such that when the elongate body is lifted by the at least one first handle, the elongate body is substantially horizontal. The at least one second handle is arranged such that when the elongate body is lifted by the at least one second handle, the elongate body is substantially vertical. The first and second handles enable a variety of different exercises to be performed using the exercise device.
