Abstract

The invention is incorporated in an exercise device comprising a plurality of step units and at least one connector. The step units can be stacked on each other to create multi-tier step units of different heights. The connectors pin the step units to each other to create a variety of configurations for stepping. In addition, structural elements can be connected to the step units to enable a variety of non-stepping exercise like dipping, push-ups, and chin ups.

Claims

1. A multi-configurable step-exercise device comprising,

a plurality of step units and a connector,

wherein each step unit is capable of stacking on another step unit to form a multi-tier step unit, and

wherein the connector pins one step unit to another in a manner that permits rotation about a vertical axis.

2. The multi-configurable step-exercise device of claim 1, further comprising a structural element for connecting to a step unit for the purpose of performing exercises other than step-exercises.

3. A kit of parts for a step-exercise device comprising:

a. a step unit that can be stacked on another step unit; and

b. a hinge for connecting one step unit to another step unit.

4. The kit of claim 3 further comprising a structural element for connecting to a step unit for the purpose of performing exercises other than step-exercises.
