Abstract
An exercise device is provided having a pair of handles supporting a pair of glide discs that allows the user to support themselves while moving the handles in one or more planes. The portable exercise device and method for using the same that is adaptable for working numerous muscle groups. The instant abstract is neither intended to define the invention disclosed in this specification nor intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Claims9
An exercise device comprising:
- a graspable elongated handle having a first end opposite a second end;
- a first lobe terminating said first end and having a first lower support surface;
- a second lobe terminating said second end and having a second lower support surface;
- a first low friction element affixed to or supported by said first lower support surface;
- a second low friction element affixed to or supported by said second lower support surface;
- wherein said first and second low friction elements can travel about a support surface thereby allowing a user to move the exercise device along the support surface about more than one direction in a horizontal plane;
- wherein said first and second low friction elements each comprise a glide element formed of a generally smooth and rigid material such as to provide a low friction contact surface for contact with a flat support surface, wherein said glide disk forms a sphere segment;
- and
- a compressible member mounted between a flat top of said glide element and the first or second lower support surface, thereby providing for a limited pivoting capability so that the low friction surface can maintain contact with a support surface when in use.
