Abstract

A rhythm fitness step apparatus includes a body and two leg bases. The body has an upper surface and a lower surface, wherein the upper surface is installed with a platform thereon; both sides of the lower surface are formed with an installation space separately. The installation space has a plurality of slots and a plurality of dodge slots concavely and alternately installed therein, wherein the concave depth of the slot and the concave depth of the dodge slot are different so that the depth of the dodge slot is greater than the depth of the slot in design. The leg base has a plate body. The lower surface of the plate body is installed with a cushion pad; the upper surface of the plate body has a plurality of first supporting blocks and a plurality of second supporting blocks protruding therefrom alternately and corresponding to the configuration layout of the slots and the dodge slots of the body. The distance of the second supporting block protruding from the upper surface of the plate body is larger than that of the first supporting block protruding from the upper surface of the plate body so that the setting between every first supporting block and every second supporting block is in the form of a stair shape with a difference in height.

Claims

1. A rhythm fitness step apparatus comprising:

a body and two leg bases, wherein;

the body has an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface including a platform thereon and the body configured to be placed directly on a floor, the platform on the upper surface providing a user to lift both legs and step on the platform alternately so that the body is used as a step of low level in height on the platform;

both sides of the lower surface of the body are formed with a separate installation space, wherein each installation space has a plurality of slots and a plurality of dodge slots concavely and alternately installed therein, having a concave depth of the slot and a concave depth of the dodge slot being different so that the depth of the dodge slot is larger than the depth of the slot in design;

the leg base has a plate body, a lower surface of the plate body including a cushion pad, an upper surface of the plate body having a plurality of first supporting blocks and a plurality of second supporting blocks protruding therefrom alternately and corresponding to a configuration layout of the slots and the dodge slots of the body, a distance of each second supporting block protruding from the upper surface of the plate body being larger than that of each first supporting block protruding from the upper surface of the plate body so that a setting between every first supporting block and every second supporting block is in the form of a stair shape with a difference in height;

wherein by selecting supporting blocks of different protruding heights between the first supporting blocks and the second supporting blocks to be plugged into the slots of the body, the body of the rhythm fitness step apparatus achieves different heights in structure, in terms of creating differences between a medium level of strength training and a high level of strength training, the outer upper edge of every first supporting block and every second supporting block having a soft pad mounted thereon.

2. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platform is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the body by means of a snap fastening method with a detachable design for customization of the platform.

3. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platform is covered with a non-slip pattern on the surface thereof.

4. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slot and the first support block fit together through a cone-shaped interface.

5. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the slot and the second support block fit together through a cone-shaped interface.

6. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein each slot has a plurality of fins internally installed to hold against the first supporting blocks or the second support blocks.

7. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cushion pads and the soft pads are made of a rubber material.

8. The rhythm fitness step apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cushion pads and the soft pads are made of an ABS material.
