Description

  The present invention relates to a health device that moves a foot while being beaten.

Maintaining and improving health is essential for us to live a comfortable daily life. Therefore, in order to maintain and improve health, we perform various exercises and train our bodies.
Various training machines have been proposed so far to assist in the exercises we perform. Most sports facilities have some kind of training machine. We can go to sports facilities and use these training machines to train. As a typical training machine installed in a sports facility, a so-called ergometer can be cited (for example, see Patent Document 1).

The ergometer has a load mechanism to which a pedal is connected, a saddle installed above the load mechanism, and a handle provided in front of the saddle. The ergometer user sits on the saddle by gripping the steering wheel, and exercises by pedaling as if riding a bicycle.

  However, the ergometer described above is an expensive device and requires a certain installation space. Even if an ergometer is to be installed in a place other than a sports facility, a problem arises in terms of the installation location and the ergometer cannot be installed in many cases. Moreover, even with a training machine other than an ergometer, there are many problems that the cost of introduction increases and a fixed installation space is required.

For this reason, the place where the training machine is installed is limited to a special facility such as a sports facility. And due to restrictions such as facility location and facility usage time, not everyone can easily use a training machine.
As life expectancy increases, the number of older people who want to exercise and train their bodies is increasing. When elderly people exercise, they must select exercise content that is appropriate for their body. However, many of the general training machines are mainly for young and middle-aged users, and are not suitable for elderly exercise.

  For those who are unable to stand because their legs and legs are weak, those who have trouble with walking because of knee pain, those who are in wheelchairs, those who can not get up because they are bedridden, etc., exercise appropriate exercise to prevent muscle hardening and decline Must. However, these people have difficulty exercising in the same posture as those with healthy bodies. Therefore, it cannot be said that a general training machine is suitable for the exercise of these persons.

It is important to carry out exercises aimed at maintaining and improving health over a long period of time. However, exercise with monotonous content is easily bored, and it is difficult to continue such exercise for a long time. In particular, exercise performed using a training machine is often performed alone or monotonous, and is easily bored.
The present invention solves the above problems, and its purpose is to make it easy for anyone, regardless of age or gender, to easily and easily exercise anywhere and train their body. It is to provide a health device that can.

  The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the problem. A health device according to claim 1 is a health device that moves a foot while pulsing, a footwear body that a user of the health device wears on a foot, a pedestal on which the footwear body is placed, and the footwear body. A connecting member that connects to a pedestal, and a user who wears the footwear main body separates the heel side portion of the footwear main body from the pedestal when the toe side portion of the footwear main body is brought into contact with the pedestal The connecting member has a length that allows the toe side portion of the footwear body to be placed on the toe when the user wearing the footwear body contacts the heel side portion of the footwear body with the pedestal. The connecting member has a length that can be separated from the pedestal.

The user of the health device places the base of the health device on the floor or the ground, and puts the footwear body on the foot. The user of the health device may wear the footwear body on both feet, or may wear the footwear body on only one foot.
A user wearing a footwear body moves his / her feet in time with music and rhythm and steps on a so-called tap while taking a beat. That is, a user who wears the footwear body moves his / her foot to lift and separate the heel side portion of the footwear body from the pedestal, and simultaneously causes the toe side portion of the footwear body to collide with the pedestal to generate sound. In addition, the user who wears the footwear body moves his / her foot to lift the toe heel side portion of the footwear body away from the pedestal, and simultaneously causes the heel side portion of the footwear body to collide with the pedestal to generate sound. In this way, the user who wears the footwear body can step on the tap while taking a beat.
