Description

 Training device for performing balance, meditation and / or yoga exercise

The invention relates to a training device for performing weight, meditation and / or yoga exercises according to the preamble of claim 1.

Performing physical and / or physical exercises to develop, improve and / or strengthen the muscles, circulation and / or agility of a user is becoming increasingly popular. Therefore, it is not surprising that the prior art s a variety of different training devices for performing such exercises is known.

The training devices known from the prior art are characterized by a multi-part construction comprising a base plate on which a user is located to carry out the exercises, and a convexly configured support arranged below the base plate. By means of the support, the training device is in contact with a floor and / or a horizontal surface. In addition, the support is designed such that the entire training device is essentially deflected in one direction during the performance of the exercises, as a result of which the development, improvement and / or strengthening of the musculature, of the Circulation and / or the mobility of the user is achievable. The type of deflection is predetermined by the shape and / or position of the support below the B asisplatte the training device. For example, in this context, the Yogaübungsboard according to the patent US 8, 734,308 B l call. However, such training devices have the disadvantage that a deflection is possible only about a spatial axis.

Furthermore, from the prior art training devices with a two-part structure comprising a B asisplatte and arranged below the base plate, convexly configured support known with which a deflection of the training device when performing the exercises to several spatial axes is possible. However, such training devices have the disadvantage that they are not suitable for meditation and / or yoga exercises due to the shape and / or size of their B asisplatte, especially since these exercises require a correspondingly sized base plate. In addition, the angle of the deflection of such exercise equipment is often so steep or so flat, so that they are not suitable for meditation and / or yoga exercises.

For the performance of physical and / or physical exercises, it is further known from the prior art to arrange on the underside of a base plate several conditions for substantially free movement of the training device. Such an embodiment of a training device has also proven to be disadvantageous, since the deflection of the training board around several spatial axes, which is necessary for carrying out equilibrium, meditation and / or yoga exercises, is either too shallow or too steep.

There is therefore a great need for a training device for the reliable and targeted development, improvement and / or strengthening of the musculature, the mobility, the circulation and / or the coordination of movement, by means of which the desired goals can be achieved while achieving a maximum training effect , It Further, there is a need for the exercise device to be easily transported, assembled, and / or serviced. In addition, the training device should be stable, and have a size which makes it possible to perform exercises, especially balance, meditation and / or yoga exercises, in all conceivable positions. Moreover, the exercise machine should be inexpensive to manufacture, durable and easy to use. The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a training device for performing balancing, meditation and / or yoga exercises to overcome the above difficulties and to improve especially the applicability on the part of a user, as well as the training effect to be achieved.

This object is achieved in a surprisingly simple, but effective way by a training device for performing balance, meditation and / or yoga exercises according to the teaching of independent claim 1 dissolved.

According to the invention, a training device for performing equilibrium, meditation and / or yoga exercises with a body is proposed, which has a flat upper side and a convex lower side. The underside is in contact with a bottom and / or a horizontal surface. The training device is characterized in that the body is integrally formed s and by means of the convex underside is movable about a plurality of spatial axes. The exercise device according to the invention is based on the basic idea that a user is partially or completely on the flat upper side of the body for carrying out balance, meditation and / or yoga exercises, for example by the user standing on top, lying, kneeling, sitting and / or supported. When the exercises are actively carried out, the convex underside of the body causes the exerciser to move several spatial axes, which is such that the muscles, the responsiveness of the musculature, the speed and / or the strength of the muscle contraction, the joints, the circulation, the mobility and / or the coordination of movement optimally developed, improved and / or be strengthened. This is because the user applies a counterforce to the movement of the exerciser. At the same time the training device for pas sive implementation of balance, meditation and / or yoga exercises is suitable, which require a holding and / or rest position of the user. This is due to the fact that it allows the exercise device due to the configuration of the convex bottom trained to keep the exerciser while performing the exercises in a rest position.

The term "exercise device" refers to a device and / or a device for carrying out and / or exercising physical exercises According to the invention, the exercise device for performing the exercises has a body with a flat top on which the user is located it is conceivable that the user is standing on the upper side, lying, kneeling, sitting and / or supported, so that the upper side forms a standing, lying, kneeling, sitting and / or supporting surface in the performance of the exercises.

Furthermore, it has been recognized as essential to the invention that the body has a convex underside, the underside being in contact with a bottom and / or a horizontal surface. The convexity of the underside can j jectacular form, which causes instability of the training device in use by a user located on the top. This means that the convex underside of the body when performing exercises by a user allows movement and / or tilting of the training device in all directions. The training device is preferably freely movable around several spatial axes. Even more preferably, the mobility is a tilting, rolling and / or weighing movement of the training device.

In the context of the invention, it has been recognized as essential that s the movement of the training device to several spatial axes is not too strong to allow the pas sive implementation of exercises in a holding and / or rest position of the user. At the same time, the movement of the exerciser around several spatial axes is not too weak to achieve a maximum training effect. This is known to a person skilled in the art. The convex design is preferably such that the optimum development, improvement and / or strengthening of the

Musculature, the responsiveness of the muscles, the speed and / or strength of muscle contraction, joints, circulation, mobility and / or movement coordination of the user is achievable. Furthermore, the convex design is preferably such that it is possible to keep the training device in a rest position during the performance of the exercises. The term "rest position" refers to a position of the training apparatus in which it is deflected in such a way that no noticeable and / or substantial deflection of the training apparatus occurs to the user The term "exercise" in the context of the invention refers to a sporty one and / or physical exercise of the user, such as balance, meditation, Bewegungskoordations-, relaxation, gymnastics, rehabilitation, fitness s- and / or yoga exercises, by means of which developed a variety of physical characteristics verbes sert and / or strengthened muscle, muscle responsiveness, muscle contraction speed and / or strength, joints, circulation, mobility, and / or motor coordination. It is conceivable that the training device for performing the exercises by a user himself or together with an assistant, such as a doctor, a

Therapist and / or a trainer. By means of the auxiliary son, the training device, for example, for a therapeutic and / or fitnes s-oriented application can be used, by means of which the exercises to support the treatment method, therapy and / or the Fitnes s of the user are feasible. Such exercises are preferably active and / or passive. For example, the "active implementation" refers to an exercise in movement of the body, wherein a "passive execution" refers to an exercise in a hold and / or rest position of the user. This is known to a person skilled in the art. Such exercises are characterized by the fact that they are holistic sports and / or physical exercises that can be performed in all imaginable positions of the user. Such positions of the user are, for example, standing, for example on one or two hands and / or one or both feet, lying down, for example in B also, side and / or supine position, in

Knee, sitting, support, for example, in the push-up, and / or a mixture thereof feasible.

To realize a maximum training effect and the desired goals with regard to the reliable and targeted development, improvement and / or strengthening of the musculature, the mobility, the circulation and / or the movement coordination, it has been recognized as essential that s the training device is dimensioned accordingly. That is, the exerciser has a corresponding length, width and / or height to enable holistic athletic and / or physical exercises of the user in all conceivable positions, such as equally in a standing, lying, kneeling, sitting and / or supported position and / or a mixture thereof. In this way, the training device allows the implementation of holistic exercises and / or individual exercises.

In the context of the invention, a human and / or an animal is conceivable as the user, with no restriction as to the size of the person Age, weight and / or training condition of the user.

Furthermore, it has been recognized as essential that s the body of the training device is integrally formed. This offers the advantage that the training device is stable, so that it is suitable for all users regardless of their size, their age, their weight and / or their training condition. Furthermore, a one-piece training device is easy to transport and can be used directly without necessary installation and / or further preparations. This leads to a considerable time savings. By means of the training device according to the invention is therefore advantageously a reliable, easy to install and stable way to effectively and sustainably improve the mobility, circulation and / or coordination of movement, and the development, improvement and / or strengthening of the muscles and / or Reach joints.
