Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to the field of exercise devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Sedentary lifestyles constitute a major health risk for Americans, who increasingly spend extended periods in seated positions with little or no opportunity for physical activity. The importance of physical activity to well being and longevity is well established by medical science. Individuals who get insufficient physical exercise suffer from mental and physical strain, fatigue, and general deconditioning.[0003]To combat the risks of sedentary living, numerous exercise devices exist. However, most exercise devices require the user to be in a dedicated location, such as a gym. Few meet the needs of individuals who are unable to commit fixed space or time to physical exercise. Accordingly, there remains a need for exercise devices that provide stimulating physical activity to individuals who are seated for extended periods. Such devices should be portable, affo...
