1. An apparatus comprising:
a hand grip body having a proximal end and a distal end, the hand grip body comprising a thumb indentation formed into the hand grip body at the proximal end of the hand grip body and three or more finger recesses formed into the hand grip body between the proximal end and the distal end of the hand grip body;
a weighted baton having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the weighted baton is at least partially disposed within the distal end of the hand grip body;
a dual-purpose connector having a long axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the dual-purpose connector comprising a coupling portion extending perpendicular from the long axis and positioned between the proximal end and the distal end of the dual-purpose connector, wherein the proximal end of the dual-purpose connector is coupled to the distal end of the weighted baton; and a walking pole having a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end of the walking pole is coupled to the distal end of the dual-purpose connector, the coupling portion of the dual-purpose connector removably coupled to a distal end of a second walking pole of a second apparatus and a second coupling portion of a second dual-purpose connecter of the second apparatus removably coupled to the distal end of the walking pole of the apparatus, such that the apparatuses are inverted relative to one another; wherein when the apparatuses are coupled, a user can grasp the coupled apparatuses to perform strengthening exercises and when the apparatuses are separated, the user can use the separated apparatuses to assist in walking.
