1. An adjustable weight kettlebell, comprising:
- a stack of weights, including an upper weight, and a lower weight, wherein the upper weight is configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the lower weight;
a weight lifting member configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the upper weight, wherein the weight lifting member includes (a) a handle; and
(b) a housing secured beneath the handle and defining a first shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the upper weight, and a second shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the lower weight; and
a latch movably mounted on the weight lifting member and selectively movable into and out of engagement with at least the upper weight;
whereinwhen the weight lifting member occupies a first orientation relative to the weights, the weight lifting member is free to move upward relative to each said weight; and
when the weight lifting member occupies a second orientation relative to the weights, the first shelf underlies the upper weight, and only the upper weight is constrained to move upward together with the weight lifting member; and
when the weight lifting member occupies a third orientation relative to the weights, the second shelf underlies the lower weight, and each said weight is constrained to move upward together with the weight lifting member.

14. An adjustable weight kettlebell, comprising:
-
a stack of weights, including a lower weight and an upper weight, wherein the upper weight is configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the lower weight; a weight lifting member having (a) a handle, and (b) a housing secured beneath the handle, wherein the housing is sized and configured to accommodate the weights and selectively rotate out of and into underlying engagement of the weights; and a latch movably mounted on the weight lifting member for movement into and out of engagement with at least the upper weight and biased to occupy a position that engages at least the upper weight to resist rotation of the housing relative to the weights when the weight lifting member occupies an aligned position on top of the upper weight. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An adjustable weight kettlebell, comprising:
-
a stack of weights, including an upper weight, and a lower weight, wherein the upper weight is configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the lower weight; a weight lifting member configured to occupy an aligned position on top of the upper weight, wherein the weight lifting member includes (a) a handle; and
(b) a housing sized and configured to encompass the weights, and the housing is secured beneath the handle and defines a first shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the upper weight, and a second shelf that is selectively rotatable beneath a portion of the lower weight; andwhen the housing occupies a first orientation relative to the weights, the housing is free to move upward relative to each said weight; and when the housing occupies a second orientation relative to the weights, the first shelf underlies the upper weight, and only the upper weight is constrained to move upward together with the housing; and when the housing occupies a third orientation relative to the weights, the second shelf underlies the lower weight, and each said weight is constrained to move upward together with the housing. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
