Benefits of technology

[0006] Thus, the present invention provides an exercise apparatus for use with carpet slides for recreational use. The exercise apparatus comprises a stop block having a predetermined shape, a front end and a back end and constructed of a predetermined material, the predetermined shape of the stop block includes a substantially flat bottom surface and a tapered upper surface and a means disposed on the bottom surface of the stop block for gripping a carpet and preventing the stop block from moving when contacted by a carpet slide and thereby stopping a skater on such carpet slides.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a exercise apparatus that will stop a recreational skater from skating past a predetermined area.
[0010] Still another object of the present invention is to provide an exercise apparatus which can be removably attached to carpeting so as stop such skater.
[0012] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an exercise apparatus which the stop block has ridges disposed on the tapered side to assist in stopping.

Problems solved by technology

One problem with such carpet slides is a difficulty for a skater to stop quickly when going at a relatively fast speed.
