Embodiment Construction

[0024]With respect to the drawings, FIG. 1A illustrates a physical training device 10 for a person 15. The physical training device 10 includes a treadmill base 20, an activity center 110, and a control means 170. Preferably, the physical training device 10 is made primarily from a durable rigid material such as a rigid plastic material, but can also be formed from any suitable rigid material, such as wood or metal, if desired.

[0025]The treadmill base 20 has a floor support means 30, an enclosure 40, and a top surface 50. In FIG. 1B, a treadmill mechanism 60 is housed within the enclosure 40 and includes an electric motor 70 and a power means 80. The treadmill mechanism 60 further includes at least two rollers 90 having substantially parallel longitudinal axes with at least one roller 90 being mechanically and rotationally coupled to the electric motor 70, illustrated in FIG. 1B. A treadmill belt 100 is engaged with each roller 90 such that the electric motor 70 may cause the treadm...
