Abstract

An exercising assisting and support assembly includes a body having a bottom surface, a top surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first end and a second end. The body is elongated from the first end to the second end and a cross-section of the body has a trapezoidal shape. The body has a length from the first end to the second end is between 24.0 inches and 48.0 inches and a height from the bottom surface to the top surface being at least 12.0 inches and less than 16.0 inches. The bottom surface has a width from the first lateral side to the second lateral side between 16.0 inches and 20.0 inches and the top surface has a width from the first lateral side to the second lateral side at least equal to 4.0 inches and no greater than 10.0 inches.

Claims

1. An exercising support assembly configured for supporting a body while exercising, said assembly comprising:

a body including a bottom surface, a top surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first end and a second end, said body being elongated from said first end to said second end, a cross-section of said body taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of said body having a trapezoidal shape, said body having a length from said first end to said second end being between 24.0 inches and 48.0 inches, said bottom surface having a width from said first lateral side to said second lateral side between 16.0 inches and 20.0 inches, said top surface having a width from said first lateral side to said second lateral side at least equal to 4.0 inches and no greater than 10.0 inches, said body having a height from said bottom surface to said top surface being at least 10.0 inches and less than 16.0 inches.

2. The exercising support assembly according to claim 1, wherein said body has a weight of less than 40.0 lbs.

3. The exercising support assembly according to claim 1, wherein said body includes an exterior cover and an interior support.

4. The exercising support assembly according to claim 3, wherein said exterior cover comprises a flexible material.

5. The exercising support assembly according to claim 4, wherein said flexible material comprises a plastic material, an elastomeric material or a leather material.

6. The exercising support assembly according to claim 3, wherein said interior support comprises a foamed material such that said foamed material comprises at least 25% and up to 100% of a volume of said interior support.

7. The exercising support assembly according to claim 3, wherein said interior support comprises a foamed material such that said foamed material comprises at least 50% of a volume of said interior support.

8. The exercising support assembly according to claim 3, wherein said interior support comprises a foamed material such that said foamed material comprises at least 75% of a volume of said interior support.

9. The exercising support assembly according to claim 6, wherein said interior support further includes a frame positioned within said exterior cover.

10.
