Abstract
A training apparatus with swivel step plates and programmable music built in for a dance lesson and workout on the training apparatus. The step plate has a movement mechanism that reciprocates with a vertical component and a longitudinal component. The step plate is attached to the movement mechanism such that the step plate has a pivoting action about a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the orientation of a top surface of the step plate.
Claims17
A swiveling step plate for an exercise apparatus, comprising:
- a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end configured to attach to a reciprocating mechanism of the exercise apparatus for traversal along a path of the reciprocating mechanism;
- an elongate plate dimensioned to support a foot of a user, the elongate plate attached to the proximal end of the shaft via a pivot assembly;
- and
- the pivot assembly supporting the elongate plate for pivotal rotation about a vertical axis extending through the elongate plate.
