Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to exercise equipment. More specifically, the present invention is a multi-purpose abdominal and core exercise machine which allows a user to build a strong and defined middle section. The present invention utilizes body weight to enable a user to perform a crush-like exercise which effectively targets the abdominal and core muscle groups. Additionally, the present invention also includes a variety of additional integrated exercise equipment that allow the user to perform a full body workout.
  • Exercising core muscles is a common way to stay physically fit. Specific exercises that target core muscles, including sit-ups, crunches, and planks can be useful for strengthening abdominal muscles but can also lead to injuries. Further, performing such exercises on hard surfaces can prove to be uncomfortable. Existing workout devices or machines typically move in one direction. This limits the number of exercises a user can perform. Further, repeatedly performing the same exercises can lead to decreased results when compared to varying exercise routines. Accordingly, there is a present need for an exercise machine capable of comfortably and safely supporting a user through the performance of various abdominal exercises.
  • the present invention is an abdominal exercise device that supports users while performing a crunch-like exercise on the present invention in order to strengthen core muscles.
  • the present invention uses a guide track to provide the user with the ability to engage the lower and upper body in a repetitive matter.
