Description
- This application claims priority from U.S. Prov. Pat. App. Ser. No. 61/486,013, filed on May 13, 2011, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
- The present invention pertains generally to a device for physical exercise, athletic training and conditioning, and rehabilitation therapy. More specifically, the present invention pertains relates to a portable exercise device having a top plate, a bottom plate underneath and complementary to the top plate, and a first accessory disk releasably attached to the top plate, the first accessory disk having a member engaging a user for performing exercises, the top plate further configured to engage multiple accessory attachments, for example a push-up bar.
- The present invention relates to portable exercise devices, and more particularly to an exercise device comprising accessory plates that can be configured in various combinations for allowing the user to perform different exercises targeting different muscle groups of the body, thereby achieving a full body exercise. A somewhat related example was proposed by Aquino, entitled “Portable Multiple Exercise Apparatus Sets,” U.S. Pub. Pat. App. No. 2012/0083396. This patent application basically discloses incorporating disk-type devices having push-up bars or roller wheels for placement of hands, feet or knees in performing various exercises.
- Further as told by Aquino, current exercise apparatus that permits a user to exercise a wide variety of muscle groups is generally massive, heavy and is intended for use in a fixed location. Various types of portable exercise apparatus are known that permit a user to perform a limited range of exercises, such as push-ups or abdominal muscle crunches, which exercise only one or a few portions of body. In order for a user to achieve a full body workout using available portable exercise apparatus, a variety of different independent types of apparatus would be required that, in total, would be bulky, heavy and not practical as being portable.
- In particular, the exercise known as the push-up is a relatively easy exercise to perform in order to increase physical fitness, especially upper body strength. As a result, push-up aids, such as push-up bars, are well known in the art. However, push-up bars are often bulky and restrict the type of exercises that can be performed using solely the push-up bar. In addition, for the physically fit, conventional push-ups, even when performed using a push-up bar, can be boring to perform and require a significantly large number of repetitions before the upper body experiences exertion.
- The Aquino disclosure specifically describes a portable set of exercise equipment that includes a pair of push-up units each having a base and rotatable handle mounted to the base, a pair of kneepad units, and a pair of roller wheel units having a set of ball bearings around the periphery of the bottom surface thereof for allowing said roller wheel units to move in any direction on a floor, and on upwardly extending shaft for meeting with corresponding apertures in the face of said push-up units and said kneepad units for mounting either of such units on the roller wheel units for movement in any direction on the floor.
- In another example, U.S. Pub. Pat. App. No. 2011/0166006, entitled “Core Strengthening Device and Method for Strengthening Using Same,” by Howard describes a core strengthening device that generally describes a device that can move around on the floor for various types of exercises targeting a user's core muscle groups. An exemplary device more specifically includes a base having a first section and a second section, each section having a connection mechanism with which to connect together to form a unitary device. The device further includes a handle connected to the top surface of each of the first and second base sections, and further includes two or more load-bearing rolling devices such as ball transfers or casters connected to a bottom surface of each of the first and second base sections to enable smooth movement over a surface by a user.
- Also known in the realm of core strengthening exercise is the use of an inflatable hemispherical ball; and either pushing, standing, sitting, or kneeling on same as desired by a user. U.S. Pat. No. 6,422,983, entitled “Inflatable Device and Method for Using the Device,” to Weck is one such example. Therein, Weck describes a device comprising a support platform having a first side and a second side, the second side structured for stable resting on the ground, and inflatable member affixed to and extending upwards over the first side of the platform being substantially hemispherical when inflated, and a clamp clamping the flexible member in between the clamp and support platform to affix the flexible member to the platform such that the flexible member extends upwards over the first side.
- It is with these prior innovations in mind that the present invention was conceived. Generally, the present invention seeks to improve upon prior designs while additionally including a unique device providing interchangeability and modularity of multiple exercise types.
- In light of the above, it is an object of the present invention to provide the desired features described herein as well as additional advantages such as providing a user with a portable exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments in various combinations for allowing the user to perform different exercises targeting different muscle groups of the body, all compiled in a single, versatile and compact exercise device. Further, the exercise device is capable of providing a user with a push-up aid and a core stability unit simultaneously.
- The present invention provides an exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments, the device comprising: a top plate; a bottom plate underneath and complementary to the top plate; and a first accessory disk releasably attached to the top plate, the first accessory disk having a member engaging a user for performing exercises.
- In a first aspect, the present invention provides an exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments wherein a second accessory disk is releasably coupled to the bottom plate, the second accessory disk having at least a first curved surface for providing a stability and core training exercise.
- In a second aspect, the present invention provides an exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments wherein the member engaging the user comprises a push-up bar, and further wherein the top plate is configured to rotate with respect to the bottom plate thereby allowing the user to rotate the device during an exercise via the push-up bar.
- In a third aspect, the present invention provides an exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments, the device comprising: a circular base plate having a raised border around a circumference thereof; and a first accessory disk configured to an interior of the circular base plate, the first accessory disk having a member engaging a user for performing exercises, wherein further the first accessory disk and the circular base plate are concentric with respect to one another.
- In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides an exercise device configured to engage multiple accessory attachments, the circular base plate further comprising: a top plate including: a spring biased pin for releasably engaging and locking the first accessory disk; an aperture on an opposite side of the top plate with respect to the pin for receiving a male connector configured to the first accessory disk, the aperture and male connector assisting the engaging and locking; and a first rounded circular grove; a bottom plate including a second rounded circular groove, the first rounded circular groove inverted with respect to the second, thereby forming a rounded circular channel; and a plurality of ball bearings configured to the rounded circular channel providing rotatablity between the top base plate and the bottom base plate via the member engaging a user.
