DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an exercise device for leg and abdominal beauty.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally known exercise equipment for beauty of legs and abdomen is as follows. (1) A pedaling machine which resists a load like a cycling machine in a room. (2) Jogging or walking on an endless belt indoors. (3) An assisting device for traversing both feet, which is described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 57-084969. (4) Leg beauty exercise equipment described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 52-138860. Etc.

[0003]

However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following problems. Pedaling or jogging or walking on an endless belt may be too noisy to be performed indoors, and may not be enjoyable while watching TV or listening to music. No effect as a result. The equipment is heavy and requires a great deal of effort to take it out when in use and to store it when not in use, or it requires a permanent space in the room. Exercise pedaling with a cycling machine has a large load in spite of the small range of movement of the legs, so the muscles partially develop and the legs become thick. There is also a risk of hurting muscles. Those who jog on an endless belt need to run in a certain space on the machine so as not to disturb the balance, so it is difficult for obese and elderly people, anyone can easily Can not.

[0004] The assisting device for traversing both feet described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-084969 can strengthen internal organs and muscles, but is mainly used only for the oblique muscles of the oblique muscles. Has little effect. When the feet on the board are shaken, inertial force acts, and when trying to stop, the upper body shifts or the feet move away from the board, making continuous movement difficult. When the foot on the board is swung to one side, stopped and then swung to the other side (in a continuous motion), the inertia force always works, so the user needs more force than his own muscle strength, or There is a risk of exercising with it and damaging muscles.

The beauty exercise equipment for legs described in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open Publication No. 52-138860 aims at slimming the legs. However, in order to bend and stretch the legs with the weight of the user himself as a load. The leg muscles develop and the legs become thicker. If you release the power at once from the bent state of the leg, the seat will move to the lower side at an accelerated rate due to the user's own weight, which will place a heavy burden on the knee and ankle joints when the leg is fully extended, causing injury. Becomes SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to solve the various problems described above and to provide an inexpensive and safe leg and abdominal beauty exercise tool.

[0006]

The gist of the present invention for solving the above-mentioned object is to provide a vertically long footrest portion and a side surface provided with a heel receiving portion extending upward at a rear end in the longitudinal direction of the footrest portion. In a sports equipment in which a mounting band is provided on an upper portion of a substantially L-shaped holder and a plurality of rollers are provided on a lower portion so as to be rotatable back and forth in the longitudinal direction of the holder, the front roller has an outer peripheral portion. At least to be exposed downward,
The holder is provided rotatably in the longitudinal direction of the holder at a lower portion on the distal end side from the center in the longitudinal direction of the holder, and the rear roller has at least its outer peripheral portion located behind the heel receiving portion, and the outer peripheral portion is at least from below.
