Definitions
- This invention refers to a device that allows users to carry out exercises to improve their physical condition, training and rehabilitation, which specifically works the areas dedicated to aerobic, cardio, balance, proprioception and coordination.
- said joining means comprises a housing, that accommodates said inflatable flexible element or the like.
- the rectangular shape of the base helps users orient themselves when compared to the same element with a circular shape base, since it avoids having to refer to other elements in the environment, which facilitates group exercises.
- Another advantage of the flexible element with a rectangular base, compared to the flexible element with a circular base, is that its behaviour is marked by two symmetry axes, which implies two different instabilities in terms of the direction of use and support, instead of the same 360° instability.
- the contact platform 4 has a flat side 6 for users to carry out aerobic and cardio exercises.
- Said platform is manufactured in a polymeric material which is foam Ethyl-Vinyl-Acetate-based, that is highly resistant and created to absorb impacts . It is a point-elastic synthetic flooring that allows an excellent restitution of energy since it contains micro cellular closed cell foam.
- the flexible element 3 is inserted vertically in the housing 2 of one of the sides of the support 1, where it is sufficiently fixed for users to stand on the device without it moving. As can be observed, it is a rectangular base inflatable element, with rounded corners, sides perpendicular to the base and an slightly dished upper side.
- the base can be thicker, with several handles shaped like rebates and/or hollows that allow users to hold the flexible element 3 easily when using it individually. It can be used upturned for exercises such as press up or when users need to lean on it, etc.
- the support 1 comprises a series of grooves 11 located on the larger sides, that are used to attach elastic bands that allow users to practice toning up and body building.
- Said support 1 and the feet 5 comprise a recess 12 on their sides that acts as a handle to pick up the device.
- the four corners of the upper and lower sides of the support 1 of the device present rubber plugs 13 to avoid it sliding when the support 1 is positioned directly on the floor.
- the device of the invention can be used in water activities, since support 1 has a lid that allows it to be filled up with water and a ballast, that enables the device to be submerged underwater during its use and consequently allows it to be used to carry out physical exercises.
- support 1 has a lid that allows it to be filled up with water and a ballast, that enables the device to be submerged underwater during its use and consequently allows it to be used to carry out physical exercises.
