BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] This present invention relates to an exercise device and method of use. More specifically, to a support with a curved bottom supporting an elongated stick-like element and handles or weights which may, be movable, and may be added to the stick member. [0003] 2. Related Applications [0004] This application claims the benefit under 35 U.S.C. Section 119(e) of provisional Application Ser. No. 60/777,236, entitled "Guided Weighted Stick Exercise Device And Method" filed Feb. 27, 2006 and provisional Application Ser. No. 60/765,780 entitled "Guided Moving Weight Exercise Device And Method" filed Feb. 7, 2006 and both of which applications are incorporated by reference herein. [0005] 3. Background Art [0006] 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. [0007] Benefits of Tai Chi are said to include greater balance and life energy or chi. Tai Chi also provides aerobic exercise, strengthening and muscle development. [0008] 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 free space medicine ball. [0009] Sticks or poles are used in many forms of exercise often behind the shoulders or held horizontally in front of the body. [0010] It would be a desideratum to have smooth Tai Chi like movements applied to the use of guided weight element. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] In some exemplary implementations the present disclosure provides a base or support with at least a partially curved surface which is attached to a pole, elongated part or stick-like member, useful for moving the base along the ground surface. The base or support may be weighted. The pole member may also be weighted. The support is a guide which inhibits free movement of both ends of the pole or stick-like member. [0012] In some exemplary implementations the pole member is affixed to the weighted base with at least partially curved bottom. The pole 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. [0013] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element is supported at least partially on a stick-like member connected to a support. The support has at least a partially curved bottom portion. [0014] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element is supported at least partially on a stick-like member connected to a support. The 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 whatever surface it is moving on. [0015] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element such as a ball, disk, cone, sphere, geometric or non-geometric or other volumetric shape is 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] In some exemplary implementations a stick guided element, which may be weighted or not weighted, such as a ball, disk, cone, sphere, geometric or non-geometric or other volumetric shape is slideably connected 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. [0017] Some exemplary implementations provide a selectable limit on the stick-like member for movement of the three dimensional shape, such as a ball, disk, cone, sphere, geometric or non-geometric or other volumetric shape may be added. One aspects that may be added to the three dimensional shape are hand holds or grips. [0018] In some exemplary implementations the support is a sphere-like member such as a base ball. [0019] In some exemplary implementations the support is weighted. [0020] In some exemplary implementations the weighted support at least partially counter balances against a stick guided element. [0021] In some exemplary implementations the support is weighted to act as a counter balance against the stick guided element and because of the weight of the support, limits sliding of the support (and affixed stick-like member) when the stick guided element is off-set more than a preselected amount of degrees from center. [0022] In some exemplary implementations the base ball or support has a substantially hard outer shell and is at least partially hollow.
