Abstract
A portable, handheld exercise device comprises a spherical outer shell with multiple parallel handles mounted to the outer surface thereof containing a rotating mass therein. An inner shell located within is spaced from but attached to the outer shell. A gyroscopic energy-generating structure (GEGS) is located within the inner shell. The GEGS comprises a rotating disc or a rotating mass configured to simulate a rotating disc. The rotating disc or a rotating mass is powered to spin around a rotational axis orientated in a preselected orientation to the multiple parallel handles. When the one or more handles of the exercise device are held by an individual the spinning characteristics of the rotating disc or mass creates a force against the user's hands. An internal or external controller allows the user to vary the spinning characteristics of the spinning mass and the level and intensity of the resultant exercise provided to the user in counteracting the forces created. Multiple embodiments of the GEGS are provided.
