Benefits of technology
The patent describes a selectively mobile exercise apparatus that can be used in a stationary state or in a mobile state. It includes an inflatable bladder for an unstable exercise surface and deployable and retractable wheels for easy movement. The apparatus also has handles for performing various exercises and can be used with resistance bands for creating tension between multiple apparatus. The technical effects of this invention include a versatile and convenient exercise apparatus that can be easily moved and used for a variety of exercise purposes.
Problems solved by technology
Although many people own and use a step aerobic platform, current exercise equipment that consist strictly of a raised platform is inadequate for the use of multiple muscles including balance and core training, for example.
However, their shapes, the stationary nature, and utilization of materials have seriously limited the scope of exercises which can be performed.
Not to mention, balance training devices have mainly focused on the convenient use of one side of the device and traditional aerobic steppers do not enable mobile exercises, have limited functionality, do not provide upper body exercises, and do not implement dynamic unstable surfaces.
The inflatable bladder can create an unstable exercise surface filled with air or other gas or gel.

Embodiment Construction
[0026]Embodiments of the invention disclosed herein relate to a selectively mobile exercise apparatus which offers a dynamic air surface as well as a hard non-dynamic surface. The selectively mobile exercise apparatus includes a set of mobility means, such as wheels, which can be selectively engaged or disengaged depending on the level of mobility which the user desires and / or the exercises they wish perform. What is also disclosed is a balance trainer, which has retractable handles, which allows the user to engage or disengage such handles depending on the intended use of the selectively mobile exercise device.
[0027]Referring to FIG. 1, a selectively mobile exercise apparatus 100 is illustrated according to an embodiment of the invention. The selectively mobile exercise apparatus 100 includes a base 105, an inflatable bladder 115 filed with a gas or fluid, and mobility means including deployable and retractable wheels 110 coupled to the base 105.
[0028]The mobility means including t...

Selectively mobile exercise apparatus which not only offers a dynamic air surface or hard non-dynamic surface. A set of mobility means, such as wheels with 360 degree free rotation in every direction, can be selectively engaged or disengaged depending on the level of mobility which the user desires and / or the exercises they wish perform. In addition to providing a selectively mobile balance trainer such exercise apparatus can have retractable handles which allows the user to engage or disengage such handles depending on the intended use of the selectively mobile exercise device. Such selectively mobile exercise apparatus can be used in combination with resistance bands, weights, medicine balls, and / or multiple such selectively mobile exercise apparatus to provide a multitude of exercise capability.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application 63 / 027,752 filed May 20, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and for all purposes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Step aerobics is an exercise where a person steps on and off a slightly elevated platform and has long been an important form of exercise. Step aerobics provides a cardiovascular workout with minimal investment of equipment such that a wide spectrum of persons can enjoy this form of exercise. Although many people own and use a step aerobic platform, current exercise equipment that consist strictly of a raised platform is inadequate for the use of multiple muscles including balance and core training, for example.[0003]Balance training devices and aerobic steppers have been around for years in different configurations. However, their shapes, the stationary nature, and utilization of materials have seriously limit...
