A removable crossbar assembly for use with an exercise ladder comprising a plurality of spaced-apart exercise ladder crossbars, comprising:
- first and second horizontally spaced-apart brackets, the first and second brackets each comprising,
- a planar body having an inner surface and an outer surface, each surface bounded by a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge and a back edge,
- a lower vertical support notch formed in the planar body and configured to receive a first exercise ladder crossbar therein,
- an upper vertical support notch formed in the planar body, above and substantially vertically colinear with the lower vertical support notch, and configured to receive a second exercise ladder crossbar therein;
- an exercise crossbar extending from the first bracket to the second bracket, wherein the exercise crossbar is affixed to each of the first and second brackets between the lower vertical support notch and the upper vertical support notch;
- a first securement flap pivotally connected to the first horizontally spaced-apart bracket planar body and comprising a first securement notch disposed in a top edge of the first securement flap, wherein the first securement notch is configured to operatively engage an exercise ladder crossbar when the first securement flap is pivoted upwardly;
- and
- a second securement flap pivotally connected to the second horizontally spaced-apart bracket planar body and comprising a second securement notch disposed in a top edge of the second securement flap, wherein the second securement notch is configured to operatively engage the exercise ladder crossbar when the second securement flap is pivoted upwardly.
An exercise ladder arrangement, comprising:
- an exercise ladder comprising first and second spaced-apart vertical supports and at least three exercise ladder crossbars extending between and affixed to the first and second vertical supports;
- a crossbar assembly removably secured to the exercise ladder, the crossbar assembly comprising,
- first and second horizontally spaced-apart brackets, the first and second brackets each comprising,
- a planar body having an inner surface and an outer surface, each surface bounded by a top edge, a bottom edge, a front edge and a back edge,
- a lower vertical support notch securing a first exercise ladder crossbar therein, and
- an upper vertical support notch formed in the planar body, above and substantially vertically colinear with the lower vertical support notch, and securing a second exercise ladder crossbar therein;
- an exercise assembly crossbar extending from the first bracket to the second bracket, wherein the exercise assembly crossbar is affixed to each of the first and second brackets;
- a first securement flap pivotally connected to the first horizontally spaced-apart bracket planar body and comprising a first securement notch disposed in a top edge of the first securement flap, wherein the first securement notch is configured to operatively engage a third exercise ladder crossbar when the first securement flap is pivoted upwardly;
- and
- a second securement flap pivotally connected to the second horizontally spaced-apart bracket planar body and comprising a second securement notch disposed in a top edge of the second securement flap, wherein the second securement notch is configured to operatively engage the third exercise ladder crossbar when the second securement flap is pivoted upwardly.
