Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new type of personal resistance exercise device that can be used to exercise the lower body, upper body, and core region of a user. The device offers both static and motion resistance, and includes pneumatic bands that add extra resistance during exercise movements. It is designed for both standing and seated users, and can be easily fabricated from durable materials. The device looks sleek and will not interfere with the user's exercise movements. Overall, the invention provides a convenient and effective tool for personal training.

Problems solved by technology

The Marcus device, however, fails to contemplate dedicated resistance band attachment hooks on the pump device, which adds a static resistance element thereto and increases the overall force required by a user, which is required by stronger users.
The Johnson device, while providing a novel core exercise device that is low impact, fails to provide a device that can be utilized between the feet and upper body of a user in different exercise routines.
As with the aforementioned devices, the Chen device fails to anticipate the combination pneumatic and elastic band resistance provided herein.

Embodiment Construction

[0034]Reference is made herein to the attached drawings. Like reference numerals are used throughout the drawings to depict like or similar elements of the personal resistance exercise device. For the purposes of presenting a brief and clear description of the present invention, the preferred embodiment will be discussed as used for exercising different muscle groups of the body with a readily portable and deployable resistance device. The figures are intended for representative purposes only and should not be considered to be limiting in any respect.

[0035]Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown a perspective view of the personal resistance exercise device of the present invention. The device comprises a pneumatic cylinder 11 having an upper end and a lower end. Attached to the lower end of the cylinder 11 is a foot pad 16, which extends outward laterally therefrom and provides a first and second foot pad surface 17 along opposing sides of the cylinder 11 for a user to press his or ...

Abstract

A motion resistance and static resistance personal exercise device is provided. The device comprises a pneumatic cylinder and handled piston that resist motion of a user, while elastic resistance bands are utilized between the cylinder and the piston handle to add static resistance to pulling exercises. The cylinder comprises an outwardly extending foot pad, while the piston comprises a handle portion to force the piston in and out of the cylinder. At least one set of opposing resistance band hooks are disposed on the device. Resistance is developed against pushing and pulling motion of the piston handle by way of an air valve on the cylinder, which controls air exiting and entering thereinto. The resistance bands add static resistance and an increase in resistance load required by a pulling user. The device is utilized to exercise the user's upper, lower, and core body regions using a pushing and pulling motion.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 731,187 filed on Nov. 29, 2012. The above identified patent application is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety to provide continuity of disclosure.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to personal exercise equipment. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a pneumatic and band resistance exercise device that is adapted to provide resistance to pulling and pushing of a piston through a cylinder using air pressure and resistance bands, a foot pad, and a piston handle.[0004]Regular exercise is an essential part of maintaining one's health and fitness, particularly with age. Many individuals incorporate a workout regimen into their daily routine, making time to go to the gym or go for a run to maintain health and prevent weight gain. However, not all individuals have the schedule flexibili...
