RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. Section 119(e) of provisional Application Ser. No. 60/765,817 entitled "Guided Orbiting Weight Exercise Device And Method" filed Feb. 7, 2006, which application is incorporated by reference herein. BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] This disclosure relates to a rocking exercise device and method of use. More specifically, to a stick-like member affixed to a rocking support with a base or collar, the stick-like member also being a guide for handles and/or weights. [0004] 2. Background Art [0005] Tai Chi is a system of controlled movements which when properly executed is believed by practitioners to develop the internal life energy or "Chi" of the practitioners. Tai Chi is suitable for all age groups, is non-jarring and can build stamina and strength. Tai Chi movements derive from a concept of "yin" and "yang" which roughly means opposing forces, smooth fluid controlled movements are a hallmark of Tai Chi. Learning the controlled Tai Chi movements is accomplished through repetitive practice. [0006] Benefits of Tai Chi are said to include greater balance and Chi. Tai Chi also provides aerobic exercise, strengthening and muscle development. [0007] A medicine ball is an exercise tool and workout which can provide weight-resistance through a full range of motion. A torso twist is often preformed while carrying the medicine ball. The risk of uncontrolled movement or injury may result from the medicine ball. [0008] Sticks or poles are used in many forms of exercise often behind the shoulders or held horizontally in front of the body. [0009] It would be a desideratum to have controlled Tai Chi movements applied to the use of a medicine ball or weight element(s). SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE [0010] In some exemplary implementations the present disclosure provides a rocking guide which is a collar or base in which a weighted support with at least a partially curved surface rocks and/or moves orbitally on and an elongated member affixed to the weighted support useful for moving the weighted support in the rocking guide. The elongated member may also be weighted. [0011] In some exemplary implementations a stick-like member is affixed movably to a weighted support with at least partially curved bottom. The stick-like member can also act as a guide for handles, grips, bars, or other weighted or non-weighted elements which may include, but shall not be limited to, balls, disks, cones, spheres, geometric or non-geometric or other volumetric shapes. [0012] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element is supported at least partially on an elongated member which is connected at one end to a weighted support, the elongated member being useful to orbitally rock the weighted support within a rocking guide. [0013] In some aspects the stick guided element is guidable up, down and/or around the stock member the movement of the stick guided element elongated being useful to orbitally rock the weighted support within the rocking guide. [0014] In some exemplary implementations the weighted support has at least a partially curved bottom portion and the partially curved portion being at least partially textured to impact the frictional interface between the curved bottom and rocking guide. [0015] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element (which may be selectively weighted) such as a ball, disk, cone, sphere, geometric or non-geometric or other volumetric shape is movably attached to a stick-like member wherein the stick guided element is pushed and/or pulled through a range of motion. Changes in the positions of a user (which may include, but is not limited to the arms, legs, and torso) relative to a stick member, can be used to target different muscle groups. [0016] Some exemplary implementations provide a selectable limit on the movement of a stick guided element. [0017] In some exemplary implementations the weighted support is a sphere-like member such as a base ball. [0018] In some exemplary implementations the weighted support and rocking guide at least partially counter balance against the movement of the stick guided element off-set from center. [0019] In some exemplary implementations the base ball or weighted support has a substantially hard outer shell and is at least partially hollow. [0020] In some exemplary implementations the base ball or weighted support has a substantially hard outer shell, is at least partially hollow and contains a weighted material that is substantially not fluid, such as sand, pellets, beads and the like. [0021] In some exemplary implementations the base ball or weighted support has a substantially flexible outer shell, is at least partially hollow and contains a weighted material that is substantially not fluid, such as sand, pellets, beads and the like.
