Embodiment Construction

[0023]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating embodiments of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, FIGS. 1-2 show an exercise platform 10 according to one embodiment of this invention. The exercise platform 10 may include a base 20, a first insert 60, a second insert 80 and a balance bar 100 that extends upwardly from the base 20. The exercise platform 10 of this invention can be easily adjusted and thus may be considered a modular exercise platform 10. The exercise platform 10 may be adjusted to provide: (1) a relatively flat user exercise surface 200 (shown in FIG. 1); (2) a surface ideal for stably receiving a stability ball 70 (shown in FIGS. 5 and 6); and, (3) a surface ideal for stably receiving a balance trainer 30 (shown in FIGS. 3 and 4).

[0024]With reference now to FIGS. 1-3, the base 20 may include a base cavity 22 which is sized to stably receive a balance trainer 30. By “stably receive” it is meant that ...
