ADJUSTABLE EXERCISE DEVICE AND A DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING AN EXERCISE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A kit for providing alternative adjustability to an exercise device including:
- (a) a platform having a substantially flat top surface and a bottom, and (b) a pair of riser blocks having top faces matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to elevate the platform above a support surface so that the top surface of the platform extends parallel to the support surface, the kit comprising a pair of inclined riser blocks, each inclined riser block comprising;
(a) a top face extending at an incline matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to incline the top surface of the platform relative to the support surface;
(b) a bottom face matingly engageable with the top face of a respective riser block; and
(c) a central portion extending between the top and bottom faces of the inclined riser block and having a front and a rear, the central portion increasing in thickness from the front to the rear.

Abstract
An adjustable exercise device that includes one or more inclined riser blocks for readily elevating and inclining a platform to enable stepping and other exercises to be readily performed on an inclined platform. The inclined riser blocks may be matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to elevate and incline the platform. The inclined riser block may include a top face matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform, a bottom face, and a central portion extending between the bottom and top faces and having a front and rear, the central portion increasing in thickness from the front to the rear. The top face extends at an incline.

14. In combination with an exercise device comprising (a) a platform having a substantially flat top surface and a bottom and having a length and a width, and (b) a pair of riser blocks having top faces matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to position the platform at a first position where the platform is elevated above the support surface and the top surface is parallel to the support surface, means for alternatively adjusting the exercise device between the first position, a second position where the platform is elevated above the support surface and the top surface is inclined relative to the support surface along the width of the platform, and a third position where the platform is elevated above the support surface and the top surface is inclined relative to the support surface along the length of the platform, the alternative adjusting means comprising a pair of inclined riser blocks, each inclined riser block including:
-
(a) a top face extending at an incline matingly engageable with the bottom of the platform to incline the platform relative to the support surface;
(b) a bottom face matingly engageable with the top face of the riser block;
(c) a central portion extending between the top and bottom faces of the inclined riser block and having a front and rear, the central portion increasing in thickness from the front to the rear and defining an axis extending from the front to the rear. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
