EXERCISE DEVICE HAVING SLED OR WHEELBARROW CONFIGURATION

摘要

An exercise device having a sled or wheelbarrow configuration comprises a frame that is pushed across a support surface by a user. The frame carries a wheel that movably supports the frame in the wheelbarrow configuration and at least one skid that movably supports the frame in the skid configuration. A pair of handles is selectively repositionable on the frame from a vertical orientation used in the sled configuration and a horizontal orientation used in the wheelbarrow configuration to quickly and easily convert the device between its different configurations. The frame has a carriage that supports a plurality of exercise weight members with the carriage being movable in a fore-and-aft direction on the frame for changing the effort required from the user to push the frame.

1. An exercise device, which comprises:
(a) a frame having a support surface engaging portion that permits the frame to move forwardly over the support surface as a user pushes the frame forwardly using at least one pair of handles provided on the frame; and (b) a carriage provided on the frame configured to support at least one exercise weight member thereon for adding mass to the frame, the carriage being selectively movable on the frame by the user into different fore-and-aft positions on the frame to vary the resistance to pushing that the user must overcome in order for the user to push the frame forwardly, the carriage and the frame having a cooperable lock disposed therebetween for retaining the carriage in one of the positions selected by the user.
