ABDOMINAL AND OBLIQUE EXERCISE DEVICE

摘要

An abdominal and oblique exercise device is formed as a small, lightweight portable structure and configured to be used while in the sitting position. The device includes leg or thigh grips that engage the user's thighs and handlebars that are engaged by the user's hands. The leg grips are coupled to a stationary cylindrical main body member and the main body member includes three distinct grooves defining three distinct exercise movements. The handlebars are coupled to a moveable top piston received within the main body member. The piston includes a groove following projection that is selectively received in one of the three grooves in the main body member. The movement of the top piston relative to the bottom main body member will compress a resistance spring for resistance throughout the exercise. The grooves will define proper user movement for exercising to isolate the desired muscles.

主权项

1. An abdominal and oblique exercise device comprising:
A) at least one lower grip configured to engage the user's lower extremity below the user's waist; B) at least one upper grip configured to engage the user's upper extremity above the user's waist; C) a cylindrical main body member and coupled to the at least one lower grip; D) a piston received and configured to reciprocate within the main body member, the piston coupled to the at least one upper grip; E) At least one resistance member providing resistance in the reciprocation movement of the piston within the main body member in at least one direction of piston movement; F) at least two distinct grooves within one of the cylindrical main body member or the piston and each groove associated with a distinct exercise movement of the user; and G) a groove following projection on one of the cylindrical main body member or the piston opposite from the grooves and wherein the groove following projection is selectively received in one of the grooves in the main body member, and wherein the groove following projection is configured to follow the groove that is associated with the distinct exercise movement of the user while the user performs the distinct exercise movement of the user with the exercise device.
