Benefits of technology
The patent describes an exercise device with a ball and an axle that can be rotated to perform various exercise movements. The device can be used in a floor setting or at a desk where the user can hold the device and move it in different directions to work different parts of the body. The technical effect of this invention is to provide a versatile and effective tool for exercise and physical fitness that can be easily moved and used in different directions.
Problems solved by technology
A severe limitation of this type of device, however, is that it can only move in a straight line, thus limiting the muscle groups affected while using the device.
A further limitation of the wheel and shaft design is the inability to conduct other core exercises, such as those performed on an exercise ball.
Existing exercise balls have an inherent instability, and do not provide for leg extension type exercises.
Because the ball is used in this manner, it is inherently unstable when a user rests upon it because the ball is free to travel in any direction across the floor.

Embodiment Construction
[0025]In the following detailed descriptions of various exemplary embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown, by way of illustration, specific embodiments that may be practiced. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
[0026]FIGS. 1-8 are illustrations of exemplary embodiment exercise devices 100-800 for strengthening muscles. In various embodiments, the fitness device may be used for arm, leg, shoulder, and abdominal strengthening, as well as strengthening and / or exercising other parts of the body. An exemplary embodiment exercise device 100 comprises a ball member 170 that may be substantially spherical or may alternatively have a shape such as elliptical, oblong, and so forth, an axial structure such as axle 510 (see FIG. 5) with a first protrusion 110 and a second protrusion 120, user supports structure...

In one aspect of various exemplary embodiments, an exercise device comprising: an axial structure defining an axis of rotation; a user support structure rotatably coupled to the axial structure; and a ball member supported by the axial structure and disposed with radial symmetry corresponding points along the axis of rotation. Thus, the ball member may be substantially spherical in shape, elliptical, oblong, etc.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to currently pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 61 / 627,165 filed Oct. 7, 2011, entitled “Fitness Device”, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to fitness equipment, and more specifically to a fitness device for strengthening various muscles of the body.BACKGROUND[0003]Many types of exercise devices and methods for exercise are used to strengthen a person's abdominal and oblique muscles, often called the “the core” muscles. One such popular device is a single-wheel with a shaft passing through the center of the wheel allowing the wheel to rotate. This device is placed on the surface of the floor and is pushed and pulled away from the torso by gripping the shaft on either side of the wheel with hands. A severe limitation of this type of device, however, is that it can only move in a straight line, ...
