Embodiment Construction

[0035]Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a top view of the preferred embodiment of the invention consisting of a flexible longitudinal member 10, a flexible cross member 12 mounted beneath and substantially perpendicular to longitudinal member 10, and a foot assembly 14. A strap 16 is disposed along the underside of cross member 12 passing through slots 18 and 20 which may be angled to provide smoothness of operation as illustrated in FIG. 2.

[0036]FIG. 3 shows the use and positioning of the apparatus to perform the upward hip thrust exercise for which the device is designed. Buckles 22 and 24 fasten together to secure the strap about the body of the user in turn securing longitudinal member 10 to the torso at the hips. Longitudinal member 10 is held at the lower end against the exercise support surface, a floor or mat for example, by the downward pressure of the users feet interacting with the foot assembly, and, at the upper end, by the weight of the users back. This fixes the end...

Abstract

An exercise apparatus particularly arranged to exercise the gluteus muscle group consisting of a flexible longitudinal member, a flexible cross member mounted beneath and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal member, a foot assembly arranged to engage the feet of the user disposed at one end of the longitudinal member, and a strap assembly emanating from each side of the cross member arranged to fasten about the torso of the user all combined to provide resistance to an upward hip thrust by the user arching or bowing the longitudinal member in the process.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is based on a provisional application Ser. No. 61 / 713,716 filed Oct. 15, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The invention resides in the field of exercise equipment and more particularly relate to devices arranged to provide resistance to the use of lower body muscles.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]The invention described below is an apparatus and method of use particularly designed for isolating and exercising the gluteus muscle group, otherwise known and referred to by practitioners in the field as the glutes, without developing other muscle groups such as the quadriceps in the process. Many people, particularly women, have an interest in toning, lifting and shaping the glutes, but do not want big, muscular legs. Exercising the glutes is also important for improving sports performance, such as improving the vertical jump in basketba...
