For example, increasing the height of the upper support member and cross-member for the arm curling exercise performed in Fig.
  • Adjusting the pivotal location of the frame 24 relative to the platform 12 can also have an affect on the force required to perform a particular exercise for a given resistance system. For example, as shown in Fig. 13, rotating the frame portion forward from the position shown in Fig. 2 would require the user to stretch the resistance system a greater distance, which would in turn require the user to exert more force while performing the bicep curling exercise. Also, adjusting the pivotal location of the frame portion can affect how muscles are worked for the same exercise because the user is required to stretch the resistance device differently. As shown in Fig. 11, the exercise device may be configured to perform a rowing type exercise.
  • the frame 24 is rotated forward until the cross-member is parallel the floor.
  • One resistance device 18 is connected with the clip hook 58 on the right extending member 37 and a second resistance device 18 is connected with the clip hook 58 on the left extending member 35.
  • the extending members' horizontal positions are adjusted right or left to place the clip hook in the desired location in front of the user. By increasing or decreasing the separation between the clip hooks, the various arm and back muscles may be exercised differently.
  • the user sits on the platform 12 and pulls against the resistance devices.
  • the user can also brace his feet against the cross-member to keep from sliding across the platform portion while pulling against the resistance system.
  • Other configurations of the resistance system can be utilized to accommodate other types of exercises.
  • the handle portion can be replaced with a single bar that allows the user to grasp the bar with both hands. It is possible to use an exercise foot harness, such as the foot harness described in U.S. patent application no. 10/911,141, filed August 3, 2004, and titled "Exercise Foot Harness," which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
  • the handle portion can be replaced with a belt that fits around the user's waist to allow the user to perform exercises that focus more on the back and leg muscles
  • the handle portion is replaced by a small loop that fits around the user's ankle to allow the user to perform exercises that focus more on the leg and hip muscles. Clip hooks can also be located in additional locations on the exercise device to allow for various other types of exercises.
  • clip hooks can be located on the cross bar, the upper support member, lower support member, and the platform member.
  • the exercise device 10 can be used with other accessories known in the art, such as balance balls and balance plates.
  • a user can perform exercises on the exercise device in combination with a balance ball.
  • the balance ball is placed on the platform 12 and the frame 24 is tilted forward.
  • the user sits on the balance ball and places his or her feet on the forward rounded extensions (20A, 20D).
  • the user is performing a rowing exercise while sitting on the balance ball.
  • the user places the balance ball on the floor and his or her feet on the platform of the exercise device while performing exercises.
  • Using the balance ball requires to the user to utilize additional muscles in order to maintain position on the platform portion while performing a given exercise.
  • a user can perform exercises on the exercise device in combination with a balance plate 112.
  • the balance plate is placed on the platform 12 and the frame 24 is tilted forward.
  • the user is performing an arm curling exercise while standing on the balance plate.
  • the balance plate also requires the user to work additional muscles in order to maintain balance on the platform portion while performing a given exercise.
  • the exercise device of Figs. 14A, 14B, and 15 employs an alternative cross bar discussed below with regard to Fig. 17.
  • FIG. 16 A first alternative embodiment of an exercise device 10 conforming to the present invention is shown in Fig. 16.
  • the platform 12 of the exercise device includes a plurality of ridges 114 in various shapes and in various locations on the upper surface 14 to provide better traction for the user.
  • Base supports 116 are located below the rounded extensions (20A- 20D), which elevate the lower surface 16 of the platform 12 from the floor. Because the lower surface is elevated above the floor, grasping the gripping areas (26, 28) is made easier when lifting the exercise device.
  • Elevated disk portions 118 are located on the tops of the rounded extensions, and corresponding disk indentations (not shown) are located under the base supports. As shown in Fig. 17, when stacking one exercise device on another for storage or during shipping, the elevated disk portions of the bottom exercise device fit into corresponding disk indentations on the top exercise device, which prevents the top exercise device from sliding off the bottom exercise device. Instead of using clip hooks to attach the resistance device to the frame portion, hoop connectors 120 are welded to various locations in the frame portion.
  • a second alternative embodiment of a first exercise device 10A conforming to the present invention stacked on top of a second exercise device 10B is shown in Fig. 17. The plurality of ridges on the platform portion shown in Fig.
  • the cross-member 34 depicted in Fig. 17 is defined by an arcuate middle portion 122 between a straight left end portion 124 and a straight right end portion 126.
  • the arcuate middle portion is connected with the upper support member 32.
  • Hoop connectors 120 are located on an outer region of the straight right end portion, and on the outer region of the straight left end portion. Additional hoop connectors are located on the cross-member near where the straight left end portion and the straight right end portion connect with the arcuate middle portion. Hoop connectors 120 are also located on the upper support member and lower support member. As shown in Fig.
  • the exercise device according the present invention can be configured for efficient shipping and storage in any number of locations. For example, exercise devices can be stacked and temporarily stored in a closet, under a bed, or in a remote area of a gym to conserve precious floor space.
  • joinder references are to be construed broadly and may include intermediate members between a connection of elements and relative movement between elements. As such, joinder references do not necessarily infer that two elements are directly connected and in fixed relation to each other.
  • components are described with reference to "ends" having a particular characteristic and/or being connected to another part. However, those skilled in the art will recognize that the present invention is not limited to components which terminate immediately beyond their points of connection with other parts.
  • end should be interpreted broadly, in a manner that includes areas adjacent, rearward, forward of, or otherwise near the terminus of a particular element, link, component, member or the like.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un appareil d'exercice comprenant une partie cadre raccordée de manière pivotante à une partie plate-forme, et comprenant au moins un système de résistance relié de manière amovible soit à la partie cadre, soit à la partie plate-forme. La partie cadre est couplée de manière pivotante sur la partie plate-forme au moyen d'un dispositif de verrouillage à pivot, qui permet de fixer le cadre dans une pluralité de positions relativement à la partie plate-forme. Le système de résistance comprend un élément élastique qui peut être équipé d'une poignée ou d'une ceinture afin de permettre un entraînement ciblé de différents muscles. La hauteur et la largeur de la partie cadre peuvent être réglées afin d'être adaptées aux caractéristiques physiques d'un utilisateur, et au type d'entraînement exécuté par l'utilisateur. Cet appareil d'exercice est en outre conçu pour permettre à l'utilisateur de se tenir debout ou assis dans diverses positions sur la partie plate-forme tout en effectuant des exercices variés.
