Abstract

An exercise device is disclosed. The exercise device includes a track having at least two parallel rails. The exercise device further includes first and second padded sleds, each padded sled having rollers attached to an underside of a base, the rollers being adapted to engage and roll along two of the at least two parallel rails. Each padded sled further includes a brake for applying a braking force against at least one of the at least two parallel rails to inhibit movement of the first padded sled, or to lock the associated padded sled into a location along the track. The exercise device can also include a static pad configured for immovable placement on the track.

Claims

1. An exercise device comprising:

a track having at least two parallel rails;

a first padded sled having rollers attached to an underside of a base, the rollers being adapted to engage and roll along two of the at least two parallel rails, the first padded sled including a brake for applying a braking force against at least one of the at least two parallel rails to inhibit movement of the first padded sled; and

a static pad configured for immovable placement on the track.

2. The exercise device in accordance with claim 1, further comprising a second padded sled having rollers attached to an underside of a base, the rollers being adapted to engage and roll along two of the at least two parallel rails.

3. The exercise device in accordance with claim 2, wherein the second padded sled includes a brake for applying a braking force against at least one of the at least two parallel rails to inhibit movement of the second padded sled.

4. The exercise device in accordance with claim 1, wherein the track includes a plurality of rubber feet attached to an underside of the at least two parallel rails for placing the track on a substantially planar surface.
