Benefits of technology

[0009]Thus, a need exist for an improved device that strengthens an individual's abdominal core while assisting the user in further developing sports related skills.

Problems solved by technology

General batting practice using a pitcher or a pitching machine is sometimes inefficient particularly with newer players who may be unable to hit the ball.
In this case, the batter gets little accuracy or muscle strength training.
An individual can do sit-ups or use exercise equipment to strengthen their abdominal core, but such exercises do not involve baseball related motions and do not assist in further development of baseball related skills.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Core strength is essential to athletic performance. An important factor in improving and maximizing athletic performance is building a strong core. Athletic performance normally involves unstable environments, such as hitting or throwing a ball from an awkward position. A strong core improves balance and stability, and the strength of the core will dictate the ease or difficulty in which a person can perform such athletic movements. Core muscles are exerted when an individual performs a baseball swinging motion. Thus, increasing an individual's core strength is essential to improving an individual's performance of a baseball swinging motion.

[0017]The present invention has been designed to help individuals develop core strength while performing baseball related motions and plyometric movements. The invention can be used to perform different exercises that will strengthen the core by mimicking a baseball swing and other baseball related movements. A stronger core will not only i...

Abstract

An exercise training device in the form of a baseball bat or other sports-related equipment that has been modified to have dual handles. The device is adapted to be attached to a weight resistance system in order to perform abdominal exercises while doing baseball or other sports-related motions and plyometric movements.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of provisional application No. 61 / 302,030 filed on Feb. 5, 2010BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to an exercise device in the form of a baseball bat that has been modified to have dual handles in order to perform abdominal exercises while doing baseball related motions and plyometric movements.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Exercise devices are commonly used to develop muscles that are used in certain athletic activities such as baseball, golf, hockey or tennis. In the building and training of muscles useful for improving performance of a baseball player or other athletes, various exercises are typically performed which strengthen muscles useful for improving, for example, hitting distance.[0006]General batting practice using a pitcher or a pitching machine is sometimes inefficient particularly with newer players who may be unable to hit the ball. In this case, the batter get...
