Embodiment Construction

[0012]Portable exercise apparatus 1 comprises base member 2 configured as a half spheroid having rounded lateral surfaces 3, flat top surface 4, and substantially flat bottom surface 5. Base member 2 is resilient, and somewhat bouncy, made of hard, flexible rubber, or equivalent material.

[0013]Opening 6 through top surface 4 of base member 2 has threads 7 which are configured to accept and threadably engage threads 8 at lower end 12 of lower sleeve 14, in order to connect the sleeve to the base member. Sleeve 14 is configured to be telescopically inserted within upper sleeve 16. Sleeves 14 and 16 make up the horizontal post member 10 of exercise apparatus 1. The height of the horizontal post member 10 can be readily adjusted. Spring-loaded pin 18, or equivalent connection means extending from lower sleeve 14, is inserted into the appropriate openings in upper sleeve 16. Horizontal post member 10 is longest and therefore exercise apparatus 1 is at its highest when pin 18 extends thro...

Abstract

A portable exercise apparatus consists of several lightweight, separate components. The apparatus has a resilient, flexible, somewhat bouncy base member shaped as a half spheroid, having rounded lateral surfaces and a substantially flat bottom surface. A height adjustable support post member is connected to and extends up from the base member. It is removeably secured to the base member. A foot supporting member comprising laterally extending support arms is removeably attached to the upper end of the post member. The apparatus supports the feet and legs of the user, by maintaining the legs elevated at a selected height off the ground, when the user is lying on his or her back in a sit-up position. In this position, with legs supported, the user can do a variety of rotational and sit-up type exercises.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The herein application claims the benefit of provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 512,473 filed on Jul. 28, 2011.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are a wide variety of portable exercising devices and apparatuses which purport to be easy to use and which claim to provide beneficial results. Many of these are designed to strengthen the abdomen, leg, and back muscles. However, such devices have varying degrees of effectiveness, both with regard to portability, set-up, and physical effort required versus results achieved. The cost of exercise devices is, of course, also a consideration. Cheaper products are largely ineffective for the average user, while more expensive exercise systems are out of the price range of most consumers.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]With these considerations in mind, it is the object of the present invention to provide a portable exercise apparatus which successfully overcomes the limitations of prior exercise devices or apparatu...
