Excercise balancing board

Abstract

A balancing board for engaging predetermined muscles of an operator performing balance training exercise routines thereon is provided. The balance board may include a generally rectangular platform having an operator surface and an opposing rocker surface. The operator surface may provide matting attached thereon. The rocker surface provides a plurality of rockers operatively engaging a horizontal floor to provide a predetermined level of instability. The balancing board may provide an anchoring system comprising at least one anchor aperture formed into the platform near and inward from one of the edges, wherein an anchor rod is fixed within each anchor aperture. The operator may mount the operator surface so as to engage the predetermined muscles in remaining athwart the predetermined level of instability.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is related to a balance training device called a balancing board, which helps to improve balance and stability during exercise routines. The invention includes a platform with a flat surface and a rocked surface, as well as a mat for added comfort. The rockers on the platform are positioned to engage with the floor and provide a level of instability, challenge, or resistance for the operator during use. Additionally, an anchoring system is included to secure the operator's body to the platform, allowing for safe and effective training. The invention can also include elastic bands and connectors to create a more challenging workout for the operator. The technical effects of this invention are improved balance and stability training for exercise routines, providing a safer and effective way to improve one's overall fitness.

Problems solved by technology

Current exercise boards are not designed to sufficiently and safely develop balancing skills nor the mind and body connection required in may Eastern-oriented exercise routines, such as yoga.

Typically, such exercise boards are not wide enough for yoga and need extra equipment to provide a sufficient level of instability for balance training.

Moreover, none has an anchor system for adding attachments for additional training and conditioning purposes.
