Benefits of technology

[0011]The present invention is directed to a dynamic anchor strap that substantially obviates one or more of the problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.

Problems solved by technology

As people age, muscles lose elasticity resulting in a decrease in joint mobility and range of motion.
Furthermore, as the body loses strength over time, it loses its ability to support the skeletal structure of the body resulting in poor posture.
Furthermore, the muscles of the anterior torso adaptively shorten and tighten, restricting shoulder and cervical mobility.
These are large mechanical devices (which cost several thousands of dollars) designed to stretch a given muscle group.
This is a very expensive method / option for stretching muscles.

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Embodiments of the present invention provide a dynamic anchor strap for use with a pole in stretching exercises. The pole may be, for example, a steel stretch pole of varying lengths (i.e., 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 feet in length). The strap and pole can be used for many exercises that improve overall flexibility, particularly the upper middle back, and muscles of the torso and shoulder.

[0023]A dynamic anchor strap according to a first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIGS. 1-5b. FIG. 1 shows the strap 10 fitted over an end of a stretch pole 20 and ready to be used for exercise. FIGS. 2a and 2b show the strap 10 (viewed from different angles) with the sleeve 11 in a closed state but not placed over a pole. As shown in FIGS. 1-2b, a part of the strap 10 forms a sleeve 11 with a closed top end 11a and an open bottom end 11b. In use, the sleeve 10 fits over one end of the pole 20, with the closed top 11a resting over an end surface of the pole 20. Two l...

Abstract

A dynamic anchor strap for use with a stretch pole is described. The strap has a sleeve section with a closed top end and an open bottom end for fitting over one end of the pole. Two handle loops extend from the bottom end of the sleeve. In use, the sleeve is fitted over one end of the stretch pole, and the user puts his hand(s) through the handle loop(s) to perform various stretch exercises.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority under 35 USC §119(e) from U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 331,269, filed May 4, 2010, which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to exercise equipment, and in particular, it relates to stretching devices used to increase joint mobility and increase flexibility.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Maintaining good posture is essential to good health. As people age, muscles lose elasticity resulting in a decrease in joint mobility and range of motion. Furthermore, as the body loses strength over time, it loses its ability to support the skeletal structure of the body resulting in poor posture. This is compounded by the repetitive stress demands of modern day society that promote sitting for prolonged periods (e.g., working at a computer with arms forward or watching television). The most common affliction of a weak musculoskele...
