         5 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure is of unitary form. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure is of general annular form selected from one of a ring, an obround shape, an oval shape and an ovoid shape. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure is of open hoop form. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of radially extending attachment locations. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of attachment locations for attachment of a ballast element perpendicular to an extension of the carrier structure, wherein at least one of the attachment locations is oriented at a different angle perpendicularly to the extension than at least another one of the attachment locations. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising one or more attachment locations extending in a direction other than an extension of the carrier structure. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising a plurality of attachment locations spaced apart along the carrier structure. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising two attachment locations at opposite ends of the carrier structure. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising four attachment locations at 90-degrees angularly offset positions relative to each other. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , comprising through holes extending through a thickness of the carrier structure and providing two attachment locations, one at each end of the through hole. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the attachment locations are threaded. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure comprises an elongate body. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein one or more of the ballast elements comprise an elongate body. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure comprises a generally cylindrical body having an elongate extension, comprising at one end thereof one of the engaging structures and at an opposite end thereof one of the attachment locations, the opposite end being slanted such the axis of the attachment location is angled at an oblique angle relative to the elongate extension. 
     
     
         19 . The exercise device according to  claim 1 , wherein the carrier structure comprises a generally cylindrical body having an elongate extension, comprising at one end thereof one of the engaging structures and at an opposite end thereof attachment locations, the attachment locations extending transversely to an axis of the cylindrical body and open to both sides of the cylindrical body.
