Exercise assembly

Abstract

An exercise assembly includes a sleeve that has a top end, a bottom end and a peripheral wall extending therebetween. The top end and the bottom end are open. The sleeve may be worn on an appendage of a user. A plurality of pockets is coupled to an outer surface of the peripheral wall. Each of the pockets has an upper end and a lower end. Each of the upper ends is open. A plurality of rods has a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween. The outer wall has a back side and front side. Each of the upper ends of the pockets insertably receives one of the rods such that the back side abuts the peripheral wall of the sleeve. A selectable number of the pockets are filled with one of the rods to establish a weight of the sleeve

1 . An exercise assembly configured to add weight to appendages of a user, said assembly comprising:
 a sleeve having a top end, a bottom end and a peripheral wall extending therebetween, said top end and said bottom end being open, said sleeve being configured to be worn on an appendage of a user, said bottom end comprising a single cuff coupled to a main portion of said sleeve, said single cuff having a break therein to define a pair of free ends of said single cuff, one of said free ends defining a flap overlapping and extendable away from another of said free ends and said main portion of said sleeve;   a plurality of pockets coupled to an outer surface of said peripheral wall, each of said pockets having an upper end and a lower end, each of said upper ends being open; and   a plurality of rods having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall having a back side and a front side, each of said upper ends of said pockets insertably receiving one of said rods such that said back side abuts said peripheral wall of said sleeve wherein a selectable number of said pockets are filled with one of said rods to establish a weight of said sleeve.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a coupler releasably attaching said free ends together at a selectable circumference, said coupler comprising a first mating member and a second mating member. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said pockets being distributed around an entire circumference of said peripheral wall, each of said pockets substantially extending between said top end and said bottom end. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said back side being flattened, said front side being convexly arcuate such that each of said rods has a semi circular cross section taken perpendicular to an axis extending through said first end and said second end. 
     
     
         6 . An exercise assembly configured to add weight to appendages of a user, said assembly comprising:
 a sleeve having a top end, a bottom end and a peripheral wall extending therebetween, said top end and said bottom end being open, said sleeve being configured to be worn on an appendage of a user, said bottom end comprising a single cuff coupled to a main portion of said sleeve, said single cuff having a break therein to define a pair of free ends of said single cuff, one of said free ends defining a flap overlapping and extendable away from another of said free ends and said main portion of said sleeve;   a coupler releasably attaching said free ends together at a selectable circumference, said coupler comprising a first mating member and a second mating member;   a plurality of pockets coupled to an outer surface of said peripheral wall, each of said pockets having an upper end and a lower end, each of said upper ends being open, each of said pockets being distributed around an entire circumference of said peripheral wall, each of said pockets substantially extending between said top end and said bottom end;   a plurality of rods having a first end, a second end and an outer wall extending therebetween, said outer wall having a back side and front side, said back side being flattened, said front side being convexly arcuate such that each of said rods has a semi circular cross section taken perpendicular to an axis extending through said first end and said second end, each of said upper ends of said pockets insertably receiving one of said rods such that said back side abuts said peripheral wall of said sleeve wherein a selectable number of said pockets are filled with one of said rods to establish a weight of said sleeve.
