First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a plurality of exercise platforms, each of which comprises a top surface and a base, the top surface being parallel to a bottom surface of the base for that exercise platform;
wherein a first one of the exercise platforms comprises a lip situated below its top surface, the lip being configured to allow the base of a second one of the exercise platforms to be stacked vertically on top of the lip, and wherein the lip of the first exercise platform includes a plurality of protrusions configured to engage the base of the second exercise platform; and
wherein the top surface of each of the plurality of exercise platforms is successively smaller in area as they ascend in height when stacked, and wherein each is strong enough to support at least two hundred pounds of weight.

Abstract
An exercise system is disclosed that includes multiple exercise platforms. These platforms may be stacked or used individually. Each platform in a stack may be successively smaller than the one stacked immediately below it, and exercise challenge may be raised or lowered depending on the level of the stack. The platforms may include features that allow for improved stacking, such as sidewall protrusions that enhance the fit between two stacked platforms, reducing the risk of toppling, slipping, and/or injury. Gripping materials may be used to enhance traction on portions of the platforms, and visual enhancements such as glow in the dark materials, illumination, or other markings may increase the ability of a user to accurately place body parts on the platforms during exercise.
