Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention mainly relates to an exercise assisting tool capable of performing various exercises of the body indoors.

[0002]

There are various kinds of body movements. For example, a mechanical device individually corresponding to each movement such as a waist movement, an abdominal muscle movement, or a leg movement, or by switching the movement. Although mechanical devices capable of three types of exercise are commercially available and used, they are unsuitable for general households because they are expensive and the device requires a large installation area. In addition, simple exercise equipment such as iron arrays, dumbbells and expanders are also known, but these equipment are generally intended to strengthen muscles, and are suitable for people who have a particular taste for strengthening physical strength. However, in general, I bought it with the intention of strengthening my physical strength, but it is often left as it is because it is rarely practiced to continue using the equipment.

From the above, it is not intended to directly strengthen physical strength or train the body because it can be placed at home in the living space of the home, and heals sports fatigue, muscle pain in the shoulders and lower back, etc. It is an object of the present invention to provide an exercise assisting device that can eliminate loosening or lack of exercise due to desk work, and can easily and easily perform exercise according to the physical strength of the user.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A means for solving the above problems comprises a main body having a top shape, a raised edge provided on a peripheral edge of an upper surface of the main body, and a back surface of the main body having an inverted mountain shape. This is due to the exercise assisting tool formed with an outer contour line in which the thickness of the main body increases toward the center.

[0005]

[Function] Although the above-mentioned exercise assisting device has various uses, it is mainly for sitting on the main body and performing exercises, but is not limited to this. It only needs to be formed so that it can be placed and stabilized, and even when you sit down on the body, the center of the back of the body is not sharp, but it is slightly sharp, so you can rotate your hips and twist while keeping your body average. It is an exercise that can be carried out, and can be easily performed while watching TV while relaxing in the tea room.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a main body 1 serving as an exercise assisting tool has a shape like a top. so,
The main body 1 is formed in a circular shape when viewed from a plane, but the shape is not limited to a circular shape, and may be a polygon having a square shape or more, and the upper surface 2 of the main body 1 is a curved surface that forms a part of a spherical surface. The curved surface is formed with a shallow concave curvature close to a horizontal plane. However, the shape is not limited to this, and as shown in FIG. 3, the upper surface 2 is formed horizontally, and the raised edge 3 that is formed by drawing a circular arc gentler than the horizontal plane is provided on the peripheral portion thereof. If it is formed into a curved surface forming a part of the spherical surface shown in FIG. 2, the peripheral edge portion thereof becomes the raised edge 3 that is raised from the bottom portion due to the bending. As yet another example, as shown in FIG. 4, the central portion of the upper surface 2 may be horizontal and the raised portion 3 may be provided so as to be curved so as to bend from the horizontal portion toward the peripheral portion.

The back surface 4 of the main body 1 is formed in an inverted mountain shape as shown in FIG. 2, but the angle of its apex is 150.
It is formed in a gentle hill shape with an obtuse angle of not less than 180 ° and less than 180 °. It should be noted that the above numerical values are a guideline for displaying a mountain-shaped form and are not limited. Moreover, it is most preferable that the contour line formed by the cross section of the back surface 4 is formed so as to draw a curved line, but it is not always necessary to bend the contour line, and even if it is formed with a straight line inclined contour line as shown in FIG. good. However, it is formed so that the bottom surface is curved.

There are various methods of using the exercise assisting device of the present invention. Typical examples are listed in the following: longitudinal movement, lateral movement, rotational movement, balance exercise, abdominal muscle exercise and hip twisting exercise, abdominal massage, Examples include goldfish exercises and leg exercises.

As shown in FIG. 6, the forward / backward / leftward / rightward movement is performed by placing the hips on the upper surface 2 of the main body 1, putting the legs in a cross shape, and extending the back muscles, and moving the lower half of the body forward and backward and left and right. Do a stretching exercise.

In the rotational movement, as shown in FIG. 7, the main body 1 is placed on the table 5 and the main body 1 is seated. At this time, the base 5 whose knee is slightly higher than the hip joint is selected, and a stretching exercise is performed in which the lower half of the body is rotated so as to be twisted rightward and leftward.

As shown in FIG. 8, the balance exercise is performed by placing the main body 1 on the floor, standing with both legs open, and also in this case, the body is rotated left and right around the waist. When performing this exercise, it is preferable to support the body on the pillar or the wall by hand.

As shown in FIG. 9, the abdominal muscles exercise is performed by placing the buttocks on the body 1 placed on the floor to take a supine posture, bending the knees to stand up, and simultaneously leaning both feet to the right and left. At this time, twist the neck in the direction opposite to the direction in which the foot is tilted. Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the hip twisting motion is a motion in which the legs are bent and the legs are kept upright, the arms are assembled with the back of the head, and the upper body is bent up and down.

The abdominal massage is as shown in FIG.
An exercise in which the main body 1 is placed upside down on the floor, the back surface 4 of the main body 1 is recumbent so that the abdomen hits, and abdominal breathing is performed.

As shown in FIG. 11, the goldfish movement is a movement in which the hips are placed on the body 1 placed on the floor, the body is in a supine posture, the upper body and the lower body are both floated, and the body is bent in a doglegged shape around the waist. I do.

As shown in FIG. 12, the leg movement is performed by raising both feet in a supine position, supporting the main body 1 on the soles of the both feet, and turning the body 1 to the right.

[0016]

According to the physical exercise assisting tool of the present invention, since the main body has the shape of a spinning top, when the body is twisted or bent on the main body, it is bent greatly with a slight force. In addition, the body must be balanced even when it is sitting on the body, and since exercise is performed while maintaining that state, the body can be twisted or bent freely. It can be adjusted to any desired exercise.

Further, since the ridge is provided on the peripheral portion of the upper surface of the main body, the body does not slip off from the main body when performing a motion such as bending and stretching the body or rotating while sitting on the body, and also serves as a stopper.
