Abstract
An exercise pad includes a body with a first major surface, a second major surface parallel (and opposite) to the first major surface, and side surfaces that extend between the first major surface and the second major surface. A groove is formed in the first major surface of the body. The groove extends across the body in a longitudinal direction from a first one of the side surfaces to a second one of the side surfaces that is opposite to and parallel to the first one of the side surfaces. The groove is configured (e.g., with a keyhole-style cross-sectional shape) to receive and engage an elongate bar.
Claims36
An exercise pad comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first major surface;
- a second major surface parallel to the first major surface;
- side surfaces that extend between the first major surface and the second major surface, and
- a first groove formed in the first major surface of the body, wherein the first groove extends across the body in a longitudinal direction from a first one of the side surfaces to a second one of the side surfaces that is opposite to and parallel to the first one of the side surfaces, and
- wherein the first groove is configured to receive and engage an elongate bar,
- wherein the body comprises a foam material, and
- wherein the body further comprises a rigid core inside the foam material.
An assembly comprising:
- a support structure;
- an elongate cylindrical bar supported by the support structure;
- and
- an exercise pad coupled to the elongate cylindrical bar, the exercise pad comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first major surface;
- a second major surface parallel to the first major surface;
- side surfaces that extend between the first major surface and the second major surface, and
- a first groove formed in the first major surface of the body, wherein the first groove extends across the body in a longitudinal direction from a first one of the side surfaces to a second one of the side surfaces that is opposite to and parallel to the first one of the side surfaces, and
- wherein the first groove is configured to receive and engage an elongate cylindrical bar,
- wherein the body comprises a foam material, and
- wherein the body further comprises a rigid core inside the foam material;
- and
- wherein the exercise pad is coupled to the elongate cylindrical bar by virtue of the elongate cylindrical bar having been positioned inside the first groove of the exercise pad so as to extend in the longitudinal direction.
A method of exercising comprising:
- positioning the elongate cylindrical bar on a support structure,
- providing an exercise pad comprising:
- a body comprising:
- a first major surface;
- a second major surface parallel to the first major surface;
- side surfaces that extend between the first major surface and the second major surface, and
- a first groove formed in the first major surface of the body, wherein the first groove extends across the body in a longitudinal direction from a first one of the side surfaces to a second one of the side surfaces that is opposite to and parallel to the first one of the side surfaces,
- wherein the first groove is configured to receive and engage an elongate cylindrical bar,
- wherein the body comprises a foam material, and
- wherein the body further comprises a rigid core inside the foam material;
- coupling the exercise pad to the elongate cylindrical bar;
- supporting at least part of a human's weight with the exercise pad while the exercise pad is coupled to the elongate cylindrical bar;
- and
- performing an exercise while the human's weight is being at least partially supported on the exercise pad that is coupled to the elongate cylindrical bar.
