Description

[0001] EXERCISE AND TRAINING DEVICE FOR USE IN A GYMNASIUM FIEED OF INVENTION

[0002]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of fitness equipment and devices, specifically to a modular face-down exercise machine designed to enhance core development, facilitate comprehensive fitness training, and improve overall physical conditioning. More particularly, the invention pertains to a versatile exercise apparatus that allows users to perform various resistance-based workouts while in a face-down position, utilizing gravity and motion to optimize core engagement and fat reduction. This device is intended for use in gymnasiums and personal fitness settings, providing an efficient and effective solution for body sculpting and strength training.

[0003] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004]

[0002] Achieving optimal fitness requires targeted core strengthening benefits and abdominal fat reduction. Many gym machines fail to engage the core effectively or provide adequate intensity for rapid results. Core exercises like planks and mountain climbers are difficult to sustain, reducing their impact. Traditional equipment often restricts users to fixed positions like standing, sitting, or lying flat, limiting movement variety and adaptability for different fitness levels. These limitations lead to longer workouts, slower progress, and user frustration.

[0005]

[0003] Core strength and abdominal fat loss are vital to overall fitness, but most gym equipment fails to provide comprehensive engagement. Machines rarely allow exercises that simultaneously target multiple muscle groups with high intensity, hindering progress. Core workouts often lack support or resistance, leading to less effective results. Equipment designed for fixed positions further restricts dynamic core engagement, prolonging workout durations and limiting fat loss. This makes achieving a strong core and reduced abdominal fat challenging and time-intensive.

[0006]

[0004] There is a need for gym equipment that efficiently targets core strength and abdominal fat loss. Traditional machines lack intensity, movement variety, and adaptability, limiting their effectiveness. Exercises like planks or mountain climbers are hard to maintain and often lack resistance, reducing muscle engagement. Fixed-position machines restrict dynamic movements, requiring long gym sessions for modest progress. A new solution that integrates core- strengthening exercises with resistance, support for proper form, and dynamic movement capabilities can address these gaps, enabling faster, more effective fitness results for all users.

[0005] Indian patent publication number IN202311021729 provides a core strengthening exercise device that includes a platform for installation on the ground, a display panel for user input, and a pair of hinged flaps positioned at an incline. The flaps have slots for users to place their hands and feet to assume a plank position. An imaging unit captures and processes user images, while a sliding mechanism adjusts the distance between the flaps. A telescopic link alters the angle of the flaps. The device also features a real-time clock (RTC) module linked to a microcontroller to track time accurately, along with an audio unit to notify the user upon completing the exercise.

[0007]

[0006] Indian patent publication number IN202341018354 provides a core strengthening exercise device consisting of a first platform positioned on the ground and a second platform for performing exercises. It includes a pair of handles for gripping, a camera for capturing images, and motorized sliders for adjusting the handles. Motorized clamps grip the user's waist, while an ultrasonic sensor measures distance, a pressure sensor detects pressure, and an angle sensor monitors inclination. A photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor tracks blood flow rate, a moisture sensor detects moisture levels, and a cushion pad offers comfort. The device is affixed to the ground using suction cups.

[0008]

[0007] Indian patent publication number IN202017049986 provides a core strengthening exercise training device that includes a platform with a frame, starting blocks for exercise, and telescopic rods with grippers for users to place their arms and lift their knees to the shoulder. An image-capturing module decodes the user's height and arm length. Sliders adjust the rods' position to the optimal height, while a display panel allows the user to select the exercise level. Rollers, wrapped with a string, are installed on a pole, with the string's ends attached to bands worn on the user's legs to assist in lifting the knee to the correct height during the exercise.

[0009]

[0008] Indian patent publication number IN202341023672 provides a core stretching and strengthening device that features an inverted U-shaped frame installed over a ground surface, with a wearable body that fits over the user's torso. A laser sensor detects the user's body dimensions, and motorized rollers with straps are used to secure the body. A camera mounted on the frame measures the user's height, prompting the frame to extend and lift the user off the ground. An electromagnetic spring between the body and frame continuously expands and compresses, providing a jerking motion to assist in stretching and strengthening the user's core.

[0009] United States patent publication number US20120122637A1 provides an invention that is a core exercise device designed to allow lateral movement during exercises such as sit-ups, leg lifts, or crunches, helping to activate, exercise, and strengthen core muscles.

[0010]

[0010] Every prior art has the following disadvantages. One of the disadvantages of prior art is the reliance on sensors or imaging units, which may be affected by environmental conditions or technical limitations.

[0011] [Oil] Another disadvantage associated with the prior is the lack of an adaptive stature unit to accommodate users of varying body types.

[0012]

[0012] Yet another disadvantage associated with the prior is the absence of resistance cables, limiting versatility for swimming-like exercises.

[0013]

[0013] Still, another disadvantage associated with the prior is the omission of a modular support platform design, reducing customization and exercise variety.

[0014]

[0014] The further disadvantage associated with the prior is the exclusion of foot support Structure, leading to decreased comfort during exercises like mountain climbing or leg sliding.

[0015]

[0015] Another disadvantage associated with the prior is its limited lateral movement, restricting enhanced core muscle activation.

[0016]

[0016] Yet another disadvantage associated with the prior is the absence of an adaptive stature unit, which restricts adaptability for users of different body types.

[0017]

[0017] Still, another disadvantage associated with the prior is the absence of foldable and detachable units, allowing for easy portability and convenient storage, making it simple to carry and set up in different locations.

[0018]

[0018] A further disadvantage associated with the prior is the omission of a modular support platform design, which reduces flexibility in achieving varied support and inclination for diverse exercises.

[0019]

[0019] Another disadvantage associated with the prior is the exclusion of foot support Structure, which diminishes comfort and stability during mountain climbing or face-down leg sliding exercises.

[0020]

[0020] A further disadvantage associated with the prior art is the modular support platform that allows for dynamic body movements in a face-down position, facilitating corestrengthening exercises such as plank variations and leg slides.

[0021]

[0021] Yet another disadvantage associated with the prior is enabling high-intensity, resistance-based workouts, and core activation in various postures, the device addressesweight loss and reduction of abdominal obesity effectively. The use of resistance cables and support structures ensures that exercises are both challenging and focused on fat reduction.

[0022]

[0022] Still, another disadvantage associated with the prior art is the system supports exercises like leg raises and planks, which are crucial for developing abdominal muscles leading to "wash-board abs." The adjustable features of the platform allow for varying intensity levels, ensuring that the abdominal muscles can be targeted effectively from different angles

[0023]

[0023] Another disadvantage associated with the prior art is the design of the device enables full-body workouts by incorporating features like resistance bands and a stability support bar. These components allow for compound movements that engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously, enhancing overall fitness and muscle tone.

[0024]

[0024] Yet another disadvantage associated with the prior art is the device offers adjustable resistance and supports dynamic movement capabilities, which are essential for effective core engagement. This is achieved through a combination of pulley systems, resistance cables, and a modular platform that supports varied exercise positions and movements

[0025] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0026]

[0025] Achieving effective core strength and reducing abdominal fat remains a significant challenge for many individuals, despite the wide availability of gym equipment. Traditional workout routines and machines often fail to provide the necessary intensity and engagement to effectively target the core muscles. Exercises like planks, mountain climbers, or leg raises can be difficult to maintain for extended periods, leading to improper form or inadequate muscle activation. Additionally, most gym equipment restricts users to fixed positions such as standing, sitting, or lying flat, which limits the range of motion and reduces the ability to engage the core dynamically. As a result, individuals must spend longer hours working out to see noticeable improvements, which can be discouraging and lead to slower progress. Moreover, existing gym equipment is often not tailored to accommodate various body types or fitness levels, meaning that some users struggle to find appropriately challenging exercises. This lack of effective solutions leads to frustration and hampers the ability to achieve a toned, strong core and reduce abdominal fat efficiently.

[0027]

[0026] The present invention addresses the challenges of core strength and abdominal fat loss by providing a unique workout system that allows for dynamic, resistance-based movements specifically designed to engage the core effectively. Unlike traditional gym equipment, which limits users to fixed positions or exercises that do not fully target the core, this systemenables a wide range of movements that activate the core muscles more intensely. Incorporating resistance and support, allows users to perform exercises that are both challenging and adaptable to their body type and fitness level, ensuring that the core is engaged in a way that promotes muscle activation and fat loss. The system’s design ensures that users can perform exercises in a facedown position, maximizing the engagement of the core and reducing reliance on other muscle groups. This approach enables users to achieve more in less time, shortening workout sessions while producing faster, more noticeable results. The ability to adjust resistance levels and incorporate dynamic movements provides an effective solution to the limitations of existing equipment, offering a more efficient and tailored workout experience for individuals seeking to strengthen their core and reduce abdominal fat.

[0028]

[0027] The exercise and training device for use in a gymnasium (1) serves as a comprehensive fitness apparatus designed to cater to diverse workout requirements by integrating multiple components for resistance-based and supportive training. Central to its adaptability is the adaptive stature unit (2), a diagonal mechanism that allows users to modify the height to suit different body types and exercise postures. This customization ensures ergonomic alignment and maximized comfort during workouts. Complementing this is a pulley system (3), designed to facilitate the smooth operation of the resistance cable (4). This wire is critical for creating variable resistance, particularly for swimming-inspired exercises, which simulate aquatic resistance for strength-building and cardiovascular training. The present invention is designed in such a way that it is foldable and detachable, allowing for easy portability and convenient storage, making it simple to carry and set up in different locations.

[0029]

[0028] The support platform (5) enhances versatility with its innovative design. It comprises two distinct sections, a support structure and an angled structure that can be inclined for targeted exercises. The support structure is further divided to provide slider movement, enabling dynamic adjustments for exercises requiring different seating positions or motions. The stability support bar (6) and arm support platform (7) offer stability and comfort during static and dynamic exercises, such as planks or face-down leg sliding routines. These elements collectively ensure a secure and efficient exercise experience.

[0030]

[0029] For specialized functionalities, the magnetic footwear stabilizing mechanism (9) secures the user's feet during swimming exercises, enhancing stability and control. The resistance control unit (10) allows users to adjust the resistance on the resistance cable, offering customizable workout intensity. The display unit (11) tracks vital data and other metrics, akin to treadmill interfaces, fostering real-time progress monitoring. Foot supportStructure (12) and hand resistive bands (13) provide additional assistance and resistance for exercises like mountain climbing simulations or swimming movements, adding versatility to the system. Together, these components make the machine a multi-functional, user adaptive training platform suitable for a range of fitness goals.

[0085] The magnetic footwear stabilizing mechanism (9) ensures secure foot placement, adding stability during leg movements in swimming exercises. This feature prevents slippage and enhances control, allowing users to focus on their technique. The resistance control unit (10) complements this by enabling precise adjustments to the resistance cable (4), providing customizable workout intensity to match the user’s fitness level and training goals.

[0091]

[0086] The hand resistive band (13) is integral to upper body engagement during simulated swimming. Users grip the straps to perform arm strokes against the resistance cable (4), effectively targeting the shoulders, arms, and chest. The straps work in harmony with the resistance cable (4) and pulley system (3) to provide a seamless resistance experience.

[0092]

[0087] Together, these components create an integrated system for simulating swimming exercises. The adaptive stature unit (2) ensures ergonomic alignment, the pulley system (3) and resistance cable (4) provide smooth and adjustable resistance, the modular support platform (5) facilitates realistic leg movements, and the magnetic footwear stabilizing mechanism (9) and hand resistive band (13) enhance stability and technique.
