Exercise apparatus
First Claim
1. An exercise apparatus comprising:
- an exercise platform comprising a base and a lid, said platform defining an interior space accessible by moving said lid from a closed to an open position with respect to said base;
at least one handle formed in said platform for use by a user in moving said exercise apparatus;
at least one wheel movably mounted to said base and permitting said platform to be rolled along a surface, said at least one wheel located at least partially in a recessed portion of said base;
at least one riser for use in supporting said platform upon a surface to increase a height thereof, said at least one riser sized to fit within said interior space when not in use, said base of said platform having at least one recessed area for accepting a portion of said at least one riser when said platform is placed there on;
at least one resistive element for selective attachment to said platform for use in an exercise by a user;
a first pair of mounts located at opposing sides of said platform to which said at least one resistive element may be attached, and a second pair of mounts located at opposing ends of said platform to which said at least one resistive element may be attached; and
at least one hand/foot peg for insertion into an aperture formed in said platform, said hand/foot peg extending outwardly from said platform generally perpendicular thereto when inserted into said aperture.
