Portable, adjustable exercise step/bench
First Claim
1. An exercise device for use in aerobic step climbing routines/programs comprising a base, said base consisting of a horizontal platform having opposite ends and intermediate sides with a downwardly and outwardly extending apron, a corner where each of said ends is joined to its adjacent side, and at least two legs, said apron being disposed at an angle from greater than 0°
- to less than 90°
from vertical and bearing at least two separate means for receiving said legs mounted to said base against said apron and at the same angle as said apron, and each of said legs being selectively mounted in one of said receiving means, whereby said legs are positioned for differing extensions from said base to adjust the height of said platform.

Abstract
An exercise step/bench for aerobic climbing and dance includes a base in the form of a horizontal platform having a downwardly and outwardly extending apron disposed at an angle greater than 0° and less than 90°. A leg is mounted against the apron at each corner of the platform. The leg is movable from an active position where it extends downwardly beyond the apron to a stored condition where it is mounted against or in the base within the periphery of the apron.

- 7. An exercise device comprising a base, said base consisting of a horizontal platform having a periphery formed by opposite ends and intermediate sides with a downwardly extending apron, at least two sets of channels in said base, each of said sets comprising at least two side by side parallel channels formed in said base at opposite portions of said periphery, each of said channels in each of said sets being of differing depth than each other whereby a leg may be selectively detachable received in each of said channels to provide said platform with at least three levels of height adjustability wherein there is one height level when no leg is in any channel and said apron is placed directly on a support surface and there are other height levels in accordance with which channel a leg is inserted.

22. A method of performing an aerobic exercise comprising providing a base consisting of a horizontal platform and there being a set of at least two side by side parallel channels extending downwardly from each end of the platform with the channels of each pair being of different depth, inserting a leg in a respective channel in each of said sets of channels to elevate said platform to a predetermined height in accordance with which of said channels said leg is inserted into, and repeatedly stepping onto and off of said platform.
- 23. An exercise device for use in aerobic step climbing routines/programs comprising a base, said base consisting of a horizontal platform having opposite ends and intermediate sides with a downwardly extending apron, a corner where each of said ends is joined to its adjacent side, and at least two legs, said base having at least two separate means for receiving said legs mounted to said base, and each of said legs being selectively mounted in one of said receiving means, whereby said legs are positioned for differing extensions from said base to adjust the height of said platform.
