Benefits of technology

[0005]The present invention provides an exercise device for exercising the human body, wherein the apparatus is configured to have a low friction surface designed to come into contact with a variety of ground surfaces. The apparatus optionally incorporates a restraining device integral to the apparatus that allows the user to secure their hands and/or feet into a number of separate devices. The present invention is also optionally directed to an apparatus that allows the user to select for a number of preset surface c

Problems solved by technology

Most of these devices are not easily portable and are usually only found in professionally equipped gymnasiums and fitness centers.
However, most of these exercise elements are not easily used in a home setting.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]By way of overview and introduction, the present invention concerns a method and apparatus for engaging in a variety of strength building and cardiovascular developing exercises. The present invention is further directed at an apparatus that uses a modifiable low friction surface(s) to allow the user to simulate various gliding and sliding exercises.

[0015]As seen in FIG. 1, the present invention provides for an exercise apparatus 100 that assists in the performance of low friction exercises, such as simulations of skating and gliding. The exercise apparatus 100 incorporates a base 102. The base 102 is configured to have sufficient dimensions to accept a human user's extremity, such as a hand or foot. In the depicted embodiment, the base 102 is roughly oval in form. However, the depicted embodiment in no way limits the potential dimensions of the base. In an alternative arrangement, the base device is triangular or rhomboid in dimensions with no diminishment of functionality. I...

Abstract

The present invention provides an exercise device for exercising the human body, wherein the device is formed as a low friction apparatus for use on a variety of surfaces. The device in a particular form incorporates a retraining harness that is affixed to the device that allows the user to secure their hands and feet into separate devices. The present invention is also directed to a device that allows the user to select between high friction and low frictions parts of the bottom, so as to perform an expanded array of exercises.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 613,229, filed Mar. 20, 2012, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method and device for performing a series of exercises designed to increase the strength and stamina of a user. In particular, the present invention is directed to a plurality of disks having low friction surfaces designed to allow a user to perform gliding or sliding exercises on a relatively flat uniform surface.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A wide variety of gliding exercises and associated exercise devices are known. Aerobic type fitness exercises are very popular with those seeking improved general physical conditioning as well as those seeking to train for an endurance event. Aerobic exercises can be enhanced with the use of specialty equipment such as tread mills, rowing machines, step platforms and f...
