Abstract

The present invention is a multi-purpose exercise device with synchronized sliding. It comprises a base and a pair of tracks disposed on it. Two slides including rollers are engaged on the same tracks. The rollers of the slides are engaged in the grooves of the tracks. Furthermore, the two slides are connected by resilient members, and each of the slides are coupled to three poles arranged in the shape of a triangle and at least two of said poles are pivotally mounted on pulley. Each of the elastic bands are engaged over the pulleys of the poles of each slide, allowing the two slides to be moved simultaneously from one end of the tracks to the other and providing more flexible exercise functions.

Claims

1. An exercise device comprising two tracks disposed on a base, said tracks including grooves, two slides being engaged on said tracks, said slides are coupled to rollers, said rollers being engaged in said grooves of said tracks, said slides are connected by elastic bands, each of said slides includes three poles arranged in the shape of a triangle and at least two of said poles are pivotally mounted on pulley, and said elastic bands are engaged over the pulleys of said poles of each of said slides.

2. An exercise device according to claim 1, wherein a pairs of parallel tracks are engaged on said base, each of said tracks includes a groove, and each side of said slides includes rollers engaged in each of said grooves.

3. An exercise device according to claim 1, wherein said resilient members are two elastic bands, each end of said elastic bands includes a hooking ring, each of said slides includes three poles and two of which are fixed to pulleys, said hooking ring at both ends of said elastic. bands are engaged on said poles of said slide, each said elastic band is engaged over one of said pulleys of said slides providing synchronized resilience between said slides.

4. An exercise device according to claim 1, wherein said resilient members constitute a closed circuit of circular elastic bands, each of said slides includes three poles are pivotally mounted on pulleys, said elastic bands are engaged over every pulley of said slides.

5. An exercise device according to claim 1, wherein said base is fixed with a handle bar, the top of said handle bar includes a handle grip parallel to said tracks, said handle grip allows the user to practice major exercise movements stably.

6. An exercise device according to claim 1, wherein elastic ropes attached to each end of said tracks.
