## Abstract

The pedal comprises a base (1) on which to place a user's foot and a transverse hole (8) for a rotation shaft, characterised in that it comprises at least one element (4) which is less dense than water arranged above said transverse hole (8) for a rotation shaft. It makes it possible for the base on which the foot is placed to always remain in an optimal position when the device is placed in water and before the user places his or her foot thereon, allowing comfortable placement of the foot.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A hydrospinning pedal comprising:
a base comprising a top base portion on which a user's foot is placed and a bottom base portion removably coupled to the top base portion;
a transverse hole through the bottom base portion to movably mount the base on a rotation shaft, wherein the transverse hole is positioned between a front of the base and a rear of the base; and
one or more elements, which are less dense than water arranged between the top base portion and the bottom base portion above the transverse hole and wherein said one or more elements are arranged on both sides of said transverse hole; wherein said base comprises a pushing element removable assembled on the bottom base portion, and wherein the pushing element is configured to facilitate movement of the pedal through water during hydrospinning.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The pedal, according to claim 1, wherein said one or more elements, which are less dense than water, are arranged inside said base.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The pedal, according to claim 2, further comprising one or more complementary housings formed on the bottom base portion wherein said one or more elements, which are less dense than water, are arranged in said one or more complementary housings.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The pedal, according to claim 3, wherein said one or more complementary housings have an opening covered by the top base portion.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The pedal, according to claim 4, wherein said top base portion and said bottom base portion are made of injected plastic.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The pedal, according to claim 1, wherein said one or more elements, which are less dense than water, are removably assembled in housings,
whereby the one or more elements are removable by decoupling the top base portion and the bottom base portion.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The pedal, according to claim 1, wherein said one or more elements, which are less dense than water, have a circular or polygonal design.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The pedal, according to claim 1, wherein said one or more elements, which are less dense than water, are made of expanded polystyrene or air deposits.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The pedal, according to claim 1, wherein said base comprises a plurality of projections on the top base portion.
