Rowing exercise device

摘要

A rowing exercise device simulates rowing including lateral pivoting movement to require control of core muscles, thus providing a more complete exercise experience. The device includes a frame having a pair of spaced supports and an elongated track coupled to and extending between the supports. A handle is coupled to the frame proximate a first end of the track. A seat is slidably coupled to the track wherein the seat is movable along the track to simulate a rowing motion. The seat is laterally pivotable relative to the track to require a user positioned on the seat to utilize core muscles to maintain balance on the seat as the seat moves along the track.

主权项

1. A rowing exercise device comprising:
a frame having a pair of spaced supports and an elongated track coupled to and extending between said supports; a handle coupled to said frame, said handle being positioned proximate a first end of said track; a seat slidably coupled to said track wherein said seat is movable along said track, said seat being laterally pivotable relative to said track wherein said seat is configured for requiring a user positioned on said seat to utilize core muscles to maintain balance on said seat as said seat moves along said track; a seat base coupled to said seat and said track, said seat base having a planar upper surface, said seat being pivotally coupled to said seat base; a plurality of rollers coupled to said seat base, said seat rollers resting on a surface of said track wherein said seat base is slidable along said track; a plurality of biasing members coupled to and extending between said seat and said seat base wherein said biasing members provide resistance to lateral movement of said seat relative to said track; and a pair of spaced aligned hinges coupled to and extending between said planar upper surface of said seat base and said seat, each of said biasing members being positioned in spaced relationship to said aligned hinges.
