Spaced apart roller assemblies are disposed within an interior of the base body. A generally convex dome of a motion platform assembly is at least partially disposable within the base body so as to contact the roller assemblies. The motion platform assembly slides, tilts or rotates as force is applied to an upper support platform. A lip of the motion platform assembly may contact a rim of the wall to limit a range of motion of the motion platform assembly. One or more elastic cords extending between the base body and the motion platform assembly provide resistance to motion of the platform assembly. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An exercise device, comprising: a base body comprising a base plate and a generally circular wall extending upwardly from the base plate to define an interior cavity of the base body; at least three spaced apart roller assemblies disposed within the interior cavity of the base body, each roller assembly comprising a spherical roller at least partially disposed within a roller housing so as to freely rotate therein; and a motion platform assembly partially disposable within the interior cavity of the base body, the motion platform assembly comprising a generally convex dome at a lower portion thereof and a support platform at an upper surface thereof; wherein the dome extends into the interior cavity of the base body so as to contact the at least three spaced apart roller assemblies to allow the motion platform assembly to tilt, slide and rotate as force is applied to the support platform; and wherein a lip extending downwardly from a circumference of the motion platform assembly contacts an upper rim of the wall of the base body as the motion platform assembly is tilted or rotated sufficiently to bring the lip into contact with the upper rim of the wall. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1, wherein the base body or motion platform assembly is comprised of a sound or vibration dampening material. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1, including a cover attached to and substantially covering the rim, the cover being comprised of a sound dampening material. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1, including a handrail associated with the base body. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The exercise device of claim 4, wherein the handrail is attached integrally with the base body. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The exercise device of claim 1, including at least one elastic cord extending between the base body and the motion platform assembly that provides resistance to the tilting or rotation of the motion platform assembly relative to the base body. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The exercise device of claim 6, including a first elastic cord attachment bracket disposed on an outer surface of the wall of the base body for removably receiving a first end of the elastic cord and a second elastic cord attachment bracket associated with the motion platform assembly for removably receiving a second end of the elastic cord. ### Claim 8 An exercise device, comprising: a base body comprising a base plate and a generally circular wall extending upwardly from the base plate to define an interior cavity of the base body; a plurality of spaced apart roller assemblies disposed within the interior cavity of the base body; a motion platform assembly partially disposable within the interior cavity of the base body, the motion platform assembly comprising a generally convex dome at a lower portion thereof and a support platform at an upper surface thereof; at least one elastic cord extending between the base body and the motion platform assembly that provides resistance to the tilting or rotation of the motion platform assembly relative to the base body; and a first elastic cord attachment bracket disposed on an outer surface of the wall of the base body for removably receiving a first end of the at least one elastic cord and a second elastic cord attachment bracket associated with the motion platform assembly for removably receiving a second end of the at least one elastic cord; wherein the dome extends into the interior cavity of the base body so as to contact the plurality of spaced apart roller assemblies and the motion platform assembly tilt or rotate as force is applied to the support platform. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The exercise device of claim 8 including a lip extending from the motion platform assembly so as to contact a rim of the wall of the base body as the motion platform assembly is tilted or rotated sufficiently to bring the lip into contact with the rim of the wall. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The exercise device of claim 9, wherein the rim of the wall is comprised of a sound dampening material. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The exercise device of claim 9, including a cover attached to and substantially covering the rim, the cover being comprised of a sound dampening material. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The exercise device of claim 8, including a handrail associated with the base body. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The exercise device of claim 8, wherein at least three spaced apart roller assemblies are disposed within the base body. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The exercise device of claim 8, wherein the roller assemblies each comprise a roller at least partially disposed within a roller housing so as to freely rotate therein. ### Claim 15 An exercise device, comprising: a base body comprising a base plate and a generally circular wall extending upwardly from the base plate to define an interior cavity of the base body; at least three spaced apart roller assemblies disposed within the interior cavity of the base body, each roller assembly comprising a spherical roller at least partially disposed within a roller housing so as to freely rotate therein; a motion platform assembly partially disposable within the interior cavity of the base body, the motion platform assembly comprising a generally convex dome at a lower portion thereof and a support platform at an upper surface thereof; a lip extending from the motion platform assembly so as to contact a rim of the wall of the base body as the motion platform assembly is tilted or rotated sufficiently to bring the lip into contact with the rim of the wall; and a cover attached to and substantially covering the rim, the cover being comprised of a sound dampening material; wherein the dome extends into the interior cavity of the base body so as to contact the at least three spaced apart roller assemblies to allow the motion platform assembly to tilt, slide and rotate as force is applied to the support platform. ### Claim 16 An exercise device, comprising: a base body comprising a base plate and a generally circular wall extending upwardly from the base plate to define an interior cavity of the base body; at least three spaced apart roller assemblies disposed within the interior cavity of the base body, each roller assembly comprising a spherical roller at least partially disposed within a roller housing so as to freely rotate therein; a motion platform assembly partially disposable within the interior cavity of the base body, the motion platform assembly comprising a generally convex dome at a lower portion thereof and a support platform at an upper surface thereof; at least one elastic cord extending between the base body and the motion platform assembly that provides resistance to the tilting or rotation of the motion platform assembly relative to the base body; and a first elastic cord attachment bracket disposed on an outer surface of the wall of the base body for removably receiving a first end of the elastic cord and a second elastic cord attachment bracket associated with the motion platform assembly for removably receiving a second end of the elastic cord; wherein the dome extends into the interior cavity of the base body so as to contact the at least three spaced apart roller assemblies to allow the motion platform assembly to tilt, slide and rotate as force is applied to the support platform.
