Abstract
A convertible treadmill belt apparatus in which base belt (10) is transformable both into an endless belt with prickly acupressure massaging surface by releasable attachment of at least one acupressure patch (20), and into a regular smooth surfaced treadmill belt, also by releasable attachment of at least one bald treadmill patch (50). Unique patches (20) and (50) can also be assembled to create different sized acupressure mats. These are used for massages in a variety of ways including on the floor, in a chair, and suspended on a wall.

An exercise equipment, comprising:
- a. a treadmill apparatus with a base treadmill belt traveling around a pulley having releasable attachment means on an outer surface for receiving at least one suitably dimensioned flexible sheet of material or patch,
- b. said at least one suitably dimensioned flexible sheet of material or patch, having complementary releasable attachment means underneath and a smooth and/or prickly top surface, whereby upon releasable attachment of at least one said suitably dimensioned flexible sheet or patch, said treadmill belt's surface is transformed to and from a regular smooth running surface to a partial or full prickly surface.
A method of reversibly changing the surface texture of a treadmill belt, comprising
- a. providing a base treadmill belt travelling around a pulley and having releasable attachment means on an outer surface for receiving at least one suitably dimensioned flexible sheet of material or patch,
- b. providing said at least one suitably dimensioned flexible sheet of material or patch, having complementary releasable attachment means underneath and a smooth and/or prickly top surface,
- c. reversibly changing the surface texture of said base treadmill belt by releaseably attaching said suitably dimensioned flexible sheets onto said base treadmill belt, whereby upon releasable attachment of at least one said suitably dimensioned flexible sheet or patch, said treadmill belt's surface is transformed to and from a regular smooth running surface to a partial or full prickly surface.
