Benefits of technology

[0010] The lateral exercise apparatus may be easily stored by pivoting the first and second track members such that they are perpendicular to the base plate. This compact positioning of the exercise apparatus can then be easily stored in a corner or closet without the need for much space.

Problems solved by technology

However, although compact and portable, most lateral exercise devices focus on exercising only the upper body or the lower body.
Further, those few simple lateral exercise devices that are capable of exercising both the upper body and the lower body, such as a stretch band having handles at its opposite ends, for example, are incapable of tension adjustment.

Abstract

A lateral exercise device capable of exercising both the upper body and lower body includes a base plate, two track members pivotally connected to opposite sides of the base plate, and a handle attached to an upper surface of the base plate. A foot support may be slidably engaged with each track member for lateral exercise of the lower body and a pulley system with handles may run along the length of each track member for lateral exercise of the upper body.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION [0001] The present invention generally relates to a lateral exercise method and apparatus and, more particularly, to a method and apparatus for lateral exercise that includes two track members pivotally connected to opposite sides of a base plate. The track members each have a foot support that is slidably engaged along a length of the track member and separate pulley systems that run along a length of each track member. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0002] Lateral exercise is exercise that relates to extending parts of the body toward the right or left sides of the body away from the median axis of the body. Lateral exercise also includes exercise that involves movement of some or all of the body from side to side. The prior art includes many types of lateral exercise devices. [0003] One popular lateral exercise device includes a planar sliding surface having stops at its opposite ends. The user puts on booties, such as nylon booties, over their feet or shoes. The boot...
