Abstract
A workout apparatus for use by a user to simulate core movement patterns of bike riding is provided. The workout apparatus includes a base deck, a pair of tubular members coupled to the base deck and in contact with the ground, each tubular member having a convex surface in contact with the ground surface, a frame assembly pivotably mounted to the base deck, a handle bar coupled to the frame assembly, and a pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the frame assembly and base deck. The user on the base deck grabs the handle bar to perform a pushing or pulling motion, thereby enabling the first hydraulic damper unit or second hydraulic damper unit to provide resistance to movement of the frame assembly.

A workout apparatus for use by a user on a ground surface to simulate core movement patterns of bike riding and enhance strength and fitness of the user, the workout apparatus comprising:
- a base deck disposed on the ground surface;
- a pair of tubular members coupled to the base deck, each tubular member in the pair of tubular members comprising a convex surface in contact with the ground surface, the convex surfaces of the pair of tubular members configured to permit the base deck to tilt laterally on the ground surface;
- a frame assembly pivotably mounted to the base deck and comprising a front portion and a rear portion opposite the front portion;
- a handle bar coupled to the frame assembly;
- and
- a pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the frame assembly and base deck,
- a first hydraulic damper unit of the pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the base deck and front portion of the frame assembly, a second hydraulic damper unit of the pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the base deck and rear portion of the frame assembly, the first and second hydraulic damper units configured to apply opposing forces on the frame assembly;
- wherein the handle bar is configured to be grabbed by the user to perform a pushing or pulling motion, thereby enabling the first hydraulic damper unit or second hydraulic damper unit to provide resistance to movement of the frame assembly.
A workout apparatus for use by a user on a ground surface to simulate core movement patterns of bike riding and enhance strength and fitness of the user, the workout apparatus comprising:
- a deck;
- a half ovoid-shaped base coupled to the deck and comprising a generally convex surface in contact with the ground surface, the generally convex surface of the half ovoid-shaped base configured to permit the deck to tilt laterally on the ground surface;
- a frame assembly pivotably mounted to the deck and comprising a front portion and a rear portion opposite the front portion;
- a handle bar coupled to the frame assembly;
- and
- a pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the frame assembly and deck, a first hydraulic damper unit of the pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the deck and front portion of the frame assembly, a second hydraulic damper unit of the pair of hydraulic damper units coupled to the deck and rear portion of the frame assembly, the first and second hydraulic damper units configured to apply opposing forces on the frame assembly;
- wherein the handle bar is configured to be grabbed by the user to perform a pushing or pulling motion, thereby enabling the first hydraulic damper unit or second hydraulic damper unit to provide resistance to movement of the frame assembly.
