Abstract

An exercise device can include: a platform; a handle coupled to a first side of the platform; and an inflatable member coupled to an opposite second side of the platform, the inflatable member having a rounded portion with an apex opposite of the handle, the inflatable member having an inflation port. The inflatable member can have an annular flange around an inflatable portion, the annular flange being mounted to the platform. The device can include an annular fastener ring mounted to the platform with the annular flange therebetween, the annular fastener ring being received onto a first surface of the annular flange, and a second surface of the annular flange being received onto the second side of the platform. The device can include fasteners passing through the annular flange and mounting the annular fastener ring to the platform.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This patent application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 61 / 651,422 filed May 24, 2012, which is incorporated herein in its entirety by specific reference.BACKGROUND[0002]Exercising is an important component to a healthy person. As such, people continue to seek new and improved exercise equipment and techniques to improve certain aspects of their physique. Stability exercising adds an added dimension of requiring stabilizing muscles to fire while doing a certain exercise that requires balance. Balancing to stabilize the body while performing an exercise can improve conditioning and performance because more muscle fibers are firing during the exercise, and thereby the exercise is more efficient and effective. However, balancing and proactive exercise position stabilization can be difficult to achieve when a person is out of shape. Accordingly, it can be advantageous to have a stability exercising device that ...
