Abstract
A hand weight with a central grip area and contoured opposing weight portions at the ends so as to convey a “Z”-shaped profile. The asymmetry of the hand weight results in a shape that is more open to accommodate a larger range of hand sizes and to more comfortably fit into the hand for a variety of holds. The shape of the end portions also results in an overall shape that is less obstructive of movements since it has a narrower profile when rotated appropriately. One of the ends is configured with a flat section to enable the weight to be positively and stably set on a flat surface and prevent rolling.
