Exercise Apparatus
First Claim
1. An exercise apparatus for use with a chair, having a base, a pedestal and a seal, said exercise apparatus comprising:
- (a) a support structure adapted to removably attach to the chair pedestal, said support structure also to be substantially adjustably interposed between the chair base and the chair seat;
(b) a resilient rod having a first end portion and a second end portion, said rod first end portion is adjacent to said support structure in a cantilevered configuration with said rod second end portion free; and
(c) an attachment element adjacent to said rod second end, wherein said attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by omni directional flexing of said rod along its length causing a resistive force at said attachment element.

Abstract
An exercise apparatus is for use with a chair, the chair having a base, a pedestal, and a seat, with the exercise apparatus including a support structure that is adapted to removably attach to the chair pedestal, the support structure is also substantially adjustably interposed between the chair base and the chair seat. Also included in the exercise apparatus is a resilient rod having a first end portion and a second end portion, the rod first end portion is adjacent to the support structure in a cantilevered configuration with the rod second end portion free. Further included in the exercise apparatus is an attachment element adjacent to the rod second end, wherein the attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by omni directional flexing of the rod along its length causing a resistive force at the attachment element.

18. An exercise apparatus for use with a chair, having a base, a pedestal, and a seat, said exercise apparatus comprising:
-
(a) a support structure in the form of a shell that includes a pair of outer removably attachable semicircular lengthwise split clam shell halves that are adjacent at a split line, that include a selectively rotatable lockable socket disposed on an exterior of said shell, said socket having a rotation axis, said shell halves substantially encase the pedestal, said support structure also includes a telescopically connected inner pair of semicircular shell halves that selectively removably engage lengthwise said outer shell halves being operational to be substantially adjustable to be interposed between the chair base and the chair seat; (b) a resilient rod having a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein said first end portion is selectively rotationally received into said socket in a cantilevered configuration with said rod second end portion free, with said socket rotation axis substantially about a rod lengthwise axis, said rod also including a non symmetric cross-section; and (c) an attachment element adjacent to said rod second end, wherein said attachment element is adapted to removably engage to a portion of human anatomy for the purpose of exercise by omni directional flexing said rod along its length resulting in a variable resistive force at said attachment element from selectively rotating said rod about its lengthwise axis. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
