Description
- This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Application No. 62/391,164.
- The invention disclosed herein relates to exercise equipment and methods or exercising with an exercise device, and more particularly, an exercise device that targets the muscles of the inner and outer thighs.
- The exercise of the thigh muscles has many advantages that include increasing fitness, sculpting and shaping the body. Such exercise may also serve to help relieve both hip and back pain. The anterior compartment is known as the extensor compartment, the medial compartment is known as the adductor compartment, and the posteriorc compartment which is the flexor compartment. The inner thigh muscles or aductor compartment includes the adductor magnus, the adductor brevis, the adductor longus, the gracilis and the pectineus. The gracilis muscle, located in the groin starts at the external point of the ischiopubic ramus (on the pubic bone) and extends down to the upper medial (middle) shaft of the tibia, or shinbone. The gracilis is responsible for hip adduction and assists knee flexion. Muscles that are responsible for thigh abduction include the piriformis, the obturator internus, the gemelli and the quadratus femoris.
- A number of devices have been developed to target the exercise of the thigh muscles. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,179,756 (“the '756 Patent”) discloses a firm solid block with side surfaces that are contoured to fit between a user's inner thighs. The device disclosed by the '756 Patent is placed between a seated user's inner thighs just above the knees. By compressing the knees inwardly against the device, the user's thigh adductor muscles are activated in isometric contractions. Because the device includes an elastic strap that extends around the user's legs, the user can also pull the knees outwardly to thereby activate the piriformis muscles in isometric contractions.
- A commercially successful device marketed under the trademark Thigh Master® is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,399,138 (the “'138 patent”). The Thigh Master® device uses a helical spring and two arms spaced apart that are adapted for engagement by the user's thighs. The spring biased arms, that have proximal and distal portions, are maintained in a first position and will pivot about the spring to a second position when so urged by the user. The arm proximal portions are joined to the spring so that when the arms are in the first position the proximal portions extend from the spring in the same general direction and are generally parallel to each other. When the arms are in the second position the proximal portions are angled apart from the spring. The exercise device also includes padding mounted on the distal portions of the arms for cushioning the user during use of the device.
- U.S. Pat. No. 9,011,301 (“the '301 Patent”) discloses a thigh exercise device that uses a curved track, a pair of resistance assemblies that use pulleys that mounted on the track and an O-ring resistance band that is wound around the two pulleys. A pair of foot pedal assemblies are attached to the curved track, and respectively having a guide pulley, wherein each of the guide pulleys are located within the respective O-ring resistance band and arrange so that the O-ring resistance band is pulled into tension by the guide pulley during movement of the respective foot pedal assembly. This device is designed to be used while seated in a chair.
- U.S. Publication No. 20140309091 (“the '091 Publication”) by Tang, discloses a thigh exercise device that uses a track designed to receive the user's feet. The device disclosed in the '091 Publication includes a first base member and a second base member that is pivotally connected in parallel, a first sliding track and a second sliding track respectively which are connected to a first base member and second base member which extends in reverse directions. The device includes a foot plate assembly that is slidably supported on the sliding track. Two elastic loops are respectively coupled between the first foot plate assembly and the base members that enable the user's lateral thigh muscles to be trained.
- Further portable exercising devices are described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,483,533 (the '533 Patent) and U.S. Pat. No. 5,026,050 the ('050 Patent). The devices disclosed in the '533 and '050 patents use arms that are attached to a central helical spring are designed as adduction exercise devices for exercising certain muscle groups, such as those of the inner thighs by bringing the limbs together.
- Yet a further device directed to exercise the thigh muscles is referred to as a “Pilates ring.” An exemplary device is disclosed by Publication No. CN 202554805 by Ure discloses a Pilates ring that includes a flexible annular body and two saddle-shaped handles that are fixed onto the body. Each handle is provided with an arc hand protector that includes a flexible buffer pad. The flexible buffer pads allow users to comfortably hold the Pilates ring. The device can be placed between the user's thighs and compressed to exercise the thigh muscles.
- Another technique for the targeted exercise of the thigh muscles is the use elastic bands, such as those disclosed in the patent to Caltaldi, U.S. Pat. No. 6,117,056. Such bands can be secured to a chair and the user is supported by a seat. The elastic straps may be used to perform a variety of isotonic and isometric exercises that include the exercise of the thigh muscles.
- It is the object of the invention to provide a convenient exercise device for the thigh muscles. It is a further object to provide a thigh muscle exercise device that allows the user to perform both adduction and abduction exercises. It is a further to provide an exercise device for the thigh muscles in which the resistance may be adjusted.
- The present invention is directed to exercise method and apparatus which uses resistance to activate the adductor and piriformis (hip rotator) muscles in isometric contractions. The apparatus comprises, generally, two arms on which are provided elements that designed to engage the user's legs at the knees and against which resistance is applied by compressing the knees inwardly or by pulling them apart outwardly. In embodiments, the resistance of the device can be altered. In a preferred form of the invention, the device includes two opposite U-shaped. channels that generally are sized and shaped to fit the contours of a user's legs. The device includes handles that are used to securely hold the device in place during the exercise time.
