Problems solved by technology

A shortcoming of such devices is that they are usually not suitable for use in exercising the upper torso or upper extremities of a person, as they are designed primarily to be stood upon.
In addition, when attempting to use such prior art devices to exercise the upper body and upper extremities, the angle of rocking frequentl...

Embodiment Construction

[0040] With reference to the drawings, reference numeral 10 refers generally to an exercise arrangement of the invention.

[0041] With reference to FIG. 1, an exercise arrangement 10 includes a body support in the form of a tiltable exercise device 12 and a roller board 14.

[0042] The exercise device 12 comprises a substantially circular top board member 16 on which a body part or member of a person can be supported, the top board member 16 having operatively upper 18 and lower 20 surfaces. Both surfaces 18 and 20 are substantially planar and parallel to one another.

[0043] The upper surface 18 of the board member 12 has a cover sheet 22 disposed thereupon, as may best be seen in FIG. 4. The covering sheet 22 is affixed to the operatively upper surface 18 of the board member 16 by commercially available adhesive (not shown) and is comprised of commercially available rubber sheeting, with a suitable friction coefficient. The main function of the frictional covering sheet 22 is to assi...

Abstract

The invention provides an exercise arrangement comprising a tiltable body support supported on a roller board. The exercise arrangement includes a tiltable or rockable body support for at least partially supporting a body part of a person. The body support is supported above a roller board, thereby allowing the exercise arrangement to not only tilt, but also to roll freely over a support surface. This arrangement allows users to exercise numerous muscle groups by a combination of tilting and rocking movements, combined with lateral movements. The exercise arrangement is especially suited for balance exercises and increases proprioception by providing a dynamic training environment.
