It comprises, for example, two hollow bodies (1), each having the filling opening sealed by a plug and two tubular skirts (3,4) having on their outer or inner walls respectively a thread which constitutes a coupling. The two hollow bodies are fixed to the ends of a connecting bar formed by the assembly of three rectilinear elements (7) in order to form a dumb-bell. The latter also has at its ends two supplementary hollow bodies (1'), identical to the two first hollow bodies and separated therefrom by a supplementary rectilinear element (7'). A sleeve (12) is mounted so as to rotate freely on each of the two supplementary rectilinear elements, so as to provide a more complete apparatus and offering more different possibilities of use than a conventional dumb-bell. | |
