Abstract
Securing straps are attached to two legs of a standard bed and extend under the bed and up the side onto the top surface of the bed where they are attached to the user's legs near the ankles by cuffs. The user can then extend their upper body off the edge of the bed so that it can move through a wide range of angles above and below the plane of the top surface of the bed. The securing straps and cuffs hold the user's lower body in place during these exercises, allowing the user to exercise all of their core muscles through the zone of peak gravitational resistance.
Claims8
A physical training device comprising:
- a securing strap comprising a cuff attached at a first end of the securing strap for attachment to the leg of the user below the knee and a loop at a second end of the securing strap for attachment to the leg of a bed;
- wherein the user attaches the second end of the securing strap to the leg of a bed and passes the securing strap under the bed, up the side, and onto the top surface of the bed;
- and
- the user attaches the first end of the securing strap to a leg below the knee using the cuff such that the securing strap holds the user's leg while the user's upper body extends off the edge of the bed so that it can move through a wide range of angles above and below the plane of the top surface of the bed.
A method for training the core muscles of the abdomen, comprising:
- attaching a first end of a securing strap to a user's leg below the knee such that the securing strap holds the user's leg while the user's upper body extends off the edge of the bed;
- and
- attaching a second end of a securing strap to the leg of a bed such that the securing strap passes under the bed, up the side of the bed, and onto the top surface of the bed;
- and moving the user's upper body through a range of angles above and below the plane of the top surface of the bed.
