As a widely applicable training device, the gymnastic ring is suitable for carrying out pushing and pulling exercises as well as many other exercises.
Claims12
A gymnastic ring comprising:
- a ring body having the basic shape of a rotational torus produced by rotation of a base circle about an axis of rotation, the ring body defining an equatorial plane lying perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the ring body and passing through the center of the base circle, the ring body being divided into two separate ring body half-shells on the equatorial plane of the ring body;
- at least one belt holder for holding a belt;
- and
- at least one belt holder pocket formed within the ring body and aligned in the equatorial plane for fastening the belt;
