Apparatus for Performing Body Exercises Having Pivotally Mounted Stabilizers

Abstract

Exercise apparatus having vertical towers rigidly attached to a base plate, including tower extensions that slide inside the tops of the vertical towers to increase their height, and further including base stabilizer leg extensions connected to the base plate to further stabilize the apparatus due to increased height. Base stabilizer mounts are secured to the top of the base plate for receiving base stabilizer legs that extend from the base plate to provide additional stability to the exercise apparatus during operation. Base stabilizer leg extensions can be included to extend the length of the base stabilizer legs. Each of the base stabilizer mounts are aligned along different geometric lines, and do not share any common geometric lines. Stabilizer arms also can be pivotally mounted to the corners of the base plate to provide additional directional stability for the exercise apparatus.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a training device with two base plates that are attached to a frame using pivotal legs. The device allows for different exercise movements and provides resistance to joint movement from multiple angles and planes. This makes it more effective than other training mechanisms that are limited to gravity-dependent or non-gravity dependent training. The technical effect of the patent is improved training capabilities and effectiveness.

Problems solved by technology

It is well recognized, however, that these simple exercises affect only a limited number of muscles in a person's body.

They are not designed to help an individual exercise multiple groups of muscles in his or her body by performing a plurality of different exercises.
