Abstract
An exercise machine for working core muscles includes a base, a handle bar connected to the base, and a leg support assembly connected to the base and extending substantially horizontally in a direction away from the handle bar. When one of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, and when the one of handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction. The opposite direction rotations of the handle bar and leg support assembly create a double twist motion in the core muscles of a user of the machine.
Claims19
An exercise machine comprising:
- a base;
- a handle bar connected to the base, the handle bar including a part extending upward from the base and a part to be gripped by a user;
- and
- a leg support assembly connected to the base and extending substantially horizontally in a direction away from the handle bar, the leg support assembly including at least one leg support surface configured to support the knees and parts of the shins of the user,
- wherein, when one of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, and when the one of handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, the other of the handle bar and leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction.
An exercise machine comprising:
- a base;
- a handle bar connected to the base, the handle bar including a part extending substantially vertically from the base and a part to be gripped by a user;
- and
- a leg support assembly connected to the base and extending substantially horizontally in a direction away from the handle bar, the leg support assembly including at least one leg support surface configured to support the knees and parts of the shins of the user;
- and
- a connection mechanism provided on the base, the connection mechanism being configured such that when one of the handle and knee and leg support structure is swung in a clockwise direction, the other of the handle and knee and leg support structure is swung in a counterclockwise direction, and when the handle and knee and leg support structure is swung in a counterclockwise direction, the other of the handle and knee and leg support structure is swung in a clockwise direction.
An exercise machine comprising:
- a base including a gear assembly;
- a handle bar assembly extending upward from the base, the handle bar assembly including at least surface to be gripped by a user;
- a leg support assembly extending from the base in a direction away from the handle bar assembly towards a rear of the machine, the leg support assembly including at least support structure configured to support the knees and parts of the shins of the user with the feet of the user positioned at a rear of the machine,
- wherein the gear assembly operatively connects the handle bar assembly and the leg support assembly such that (i) when the handle bar assembly or the leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction, the other of the handle bar assembly and the leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, and (ii) when the handle bar assembly or the leg support assembly is swung in a counterclockwise direction, the other of the handle bar assembly and the leg support assembly is swung in a clockwise direction.
An exercise machine according to claim 19, wherein the support structure includes two shin support pads configured to support the shins of the user.
