Abstract
An exercise device for the crossover step, including an upper wheel supported, the upper wheel having a skating surface and being rotatable; a lower wheel joined to the upper wheel via a hub, the lower wheel having idler wheels supporting the upper wheel; upper legs and lower legs, the upper and lower legs being joined to the lower wheel; a track joined to the upper legs and lower legs, the track adapted to allow the upper wheel, lower wheel, upper legs and lower legs to be stored vertically against a wall and positioned for use adjacent a floor; and mechanism for controlled increase of simulated G-forces applied to a skater skating on the skating surface.
Claims13
An ice skating training device, comprising:
- a flywheel having a rotatable upper wheel joined by a hub to a lower wheel, the lower wheel, being parallel to the upper wheel, supports idler wheels, the idler wheels being in operable communication with the upper wheel, the upper wheel having a skating surface, the flywheel having a storage position adjacent a wall and a use position adjacent a floor wherein when the flywheel is in the use position, the flywheel is angled relative to the floor thereby defining an upper end and a lower end on the flywheel;
- at least one wall brace and a connector unit joined to an upper edge of the lower wheel, the connector unit being joined by a cable to a winch such that the flywheel can be moved between the storage position and the use position;
- at least one upper leg joined to the upper end of the lower wheel, the upper leg includes a track wheel, a hydraulic member joined to the at least one upper leg;
- a curved track adapted to extend up the wall and along an adjacent floor, the track wheel of the upper leg being positioned within and guided by the track between the use and storage positions of the flywheel;
- and
- at least one lower leg joined to a lower end of the lower wheel to support the flywheel.
