Problems solved by technology

One problem as an individual typically moves from being a child to being an adult, their physical activity levels decline just when maintaining good health is at its most important as an individual ages, topically their exercise levels decline that can work against maintaining good health, thus just when an individual should be exercising and being active, their exercise and activity levels tend to decrease.
One probable answer is that available time and convenience are a problem for engaging in an exercise program, as most adults have a full time job, a family, and other interests that all together consume most of an adults time.
Thus, Tuller et al., is a small and portable device, however, being limited to strictly abdominal type exercises.
Further, on exercise machines that are adapted to be attach...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus is for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal, and a seat, with the exercise apparatus including a support structure that is adapted to removably attach to the chair pedestal, the support structure is also substantially adjustably interposed between the chair base and the chair seat. Also included in the exercise apparatus is a resilient rod having a first end portion and a second end portion, the rod first end portion is adjacent to the support structure in a cantilevered configuration with the rod second end portion free. Further included in the exercise apparatus is an attachment element adjacent to the rod second end, wherein the attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by omni directional flexing of the rod along its length causing a resistive force at the attachment element.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for accomplishing exercise in a non traditional exercise or working out environment, wherein an individual does not have ready access to a gym, health club, spa, or other type of facility for exercise or working out. More particularly, the present invention is an exercise apparatus that is adapted to be adjacent to a readily available piece of furniture that an individual uses in an office or work environment to facilitate exercise in a convenient time and place, thus allowing the individual to enjoy the health benefits of exercise when circumstances don't readily allow for the time and expense of using a traditional exercise facility such as a gym, health club, spa, and the like.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0002]The health benefits of exercise are well known and applicable to all ages of individuals, including cardiovascular improvement muscle strengthening, stretching, increased blood circulation, better coord...
