Sliding abdominal exercise device

Номер: US20120100973A1
Автор: Cornell S. Marschalko, George H. Coblyn, Kevin O. Boland
Принадлежит: Individual

A compact, easily storable abdominal exercise device is described that provides a sliding (to-and-fro) form of exercise for a seated user. In addition, the cushion may rotate so that it can also allow a swinging/twisting motion. Consequently, the sliding and/or the sliding+twisting modes of the exercise device allow a greater range of motions for exercising the muscles of the waist and help to stimulate firming and toning of the waist areas more effectively.

Принадлежит: Individual

A yoga block includes two opposite side surfaces, and a convex cambered surface, a plane surface. The yoga block allows users to achieve or maintain certain poses, stretches, exercises or therapeutic positions. Because of the bow-shaped cross-section, the center of gravity of the yoga block is lower than the center of gravity of the conventional rectangular or brick shaped yoga block. Therefore, the yoga block is more stable during operation when being located on the ground. Any risk of injury is reduced or eliminated due to the yoga block is toppled over during operation.

A foot pillow designed to be used by an individual with plantar fasciitis and suffers from severe foot pain when the individual attempts to stand or walk after resting horizontally. The pillow is a square or rectangular structure with a flat bottom and a dome or conical-shaped top surface. The pillow is made of elastic foam sufficient size, thickness and compression rating to support the user's arch when standing on the pillow's center axis. Because the pillow is domed or conical shape, the pillow has less arch support near its perimeter edge. During use, the user stands in place and repeatedly lifts and press both feet into the top surface near the pillow's center axis. Over a few minutes, the user lifts his feet and gradually moves them outward towards the perimeter edge thereby enabling the plantar fascia on each foot to gradually stretch before being fully extended when standing or walking. 1.
