Claims20
An exercise device, comprising:
- a back support,
- a chassis attached to an underside of the back support,
- a pair of adjustable leg blades removably attached to the chassis,
- a back blade attached to the chassis and extending upward from the chassis along a rear centerline of the back support, and
- a neck support assembly attached to the back blade,
- wherein the chassis includes a plurality of vertically aligned slots formed therein in spaced relation to one another for securing an end of a corresponding leg blade therein, the slots providing a plurality of differing leg blade lengths for the device.
An exercise device, comprising:
- a back support,
- a chassis attached to an underside of the back support,
- a pair of adjustable leg blades attached to the chassis,
- a back blade attached to the chassis, and
- a neck support assembly attached to one end of the back blade,
- wherein a user gripping surfaces of the neck support assembly to perform an exercise is limited by the device to achieving an inclined angle from horizontal of 30 degrees or less, the back blade flexible to facilitate lateral movement of the back support with respect to the longitudinal axis of the back blade as the user grips the surfaces of the neck support assembly and moves upward or downward during exercise.
A leg assembly of an exercise device designed to exercise the core muscles of a user, the device including a chassis attached to an underside of a back support for the user, comprising:
- a pair of flexible, elongate and generally flat leg blades movable by the user up and down from a generally prone position on the back support, and
- a foot securing means for securing a user's feet to the leg blades,
- wherein each leg blade is removably attached to the chassis at a first end and extends downward to a second end that terminates at the foot securing means.
A neck support assembly of an exercise device that includes a chassis attached to an underside of a back support for supporting the weight of a user thereon, comprising:
- a base attached to the back support, and
- a pair of spaced arms that extend upward and rearward from the base to a first point, each arm canting forward and upward at the first point to a second point to form handle grips, each arm turning downward and inward at the second point so as to meet, forming a generally curved cradle to support the back of a user's neck.
