Exercise apparatus and associated methods
First Claim
1. An exercise apparatus comprising:
- a stationary pad comprisinga pedestal,a support structure attached to a lower surface of the pedestal and extending downwardly therefrom,an attachment member connected to an end portion of the pedestal,at least one receiving member attached to at least one of the sidewalls;
a single track having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to and extending outwardly from the stationary pad at the attachment member, the single track having an “
I”
shape defined by a top surface, a track member extending downwardly from the top surface, and a bottom surface connected to the track member and positioned opposite the top surface;
a slidable vehicle slidably coupled to the single track;
a slidable pad fixedly connected to the slidable vehicle;
a first bumper releasably attached to the single track adjacent the first end thereof; and
a second bumper releasably attached to the single track adjacent the second end thereof;
each of the first and second bumpers including a top section, side sections and a bottom section configured so as to provide a gap between the top section and the bottom section, the gap being sized to receive the top surface of the single track when each of the first and second bumpers are slidably connected to the single track;
wherein the stationary pad is adapted to support at least a portion of an exercising user performing exercises;
wherein each of the first and second bumpers are slidably connected to the single track to define an operational region of the single track whereby the slidable pad is moveable along the single track between the first and second bumpers.

Abstract
An exercise apparatus may include a track having a first end and a second end, and a first pad fixedly attached to the first end of the track. The first pad may include a pedestal, a support structure attached to a lower surface of the pedestal and extending generally downwards therefrom, and an attachment member extending from a surface of the support structure to an outer edge of the pedestal. The exercise apparatus may also include a second pad slidably coupled to the track. The second pad may include a slidable vehicle and a top pad fixedly connected to the slidable vehicle. The exercise apparatus may further include a first bumper and a second bumper connected to the track. The first bumper may be connected to the track adjacent the first end, and the second bumper may be connected to the track adjacent the second end.

13. An exercise apparatus comprising:
-
a stationary pad having a pedestal and a support structure attached to a lower surface of the pedestal and extending downwardly therefrom and an attachment member connected to an end portion of the pedestal; a single track having a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to and extending outwardly from the stationary pad at the attachment member, the single track having an “
I”
shape defined by a top surface, a track member extending downwardly from the top surface, and a bottom surface connected to the track member and positioned opposite the top surface;a slidable vehicle slidably coupled to the track, the slidable vehicle comprising a first side vehicle member, a second side vehicle member, and a wheel rotatably coupled to both the first side vehicle member and the second side vehicle member, the wheel being positioned to interface with a top surface of the track, a stabilizing member rotatably coupled to at least one of the first side vehicle member and the second side vehicle member, a slidable pad fixedly connected to the slidable vehicle, the slidable pad comprising a first end and a second end that each comprise a raised section, and an elongate member attached to the stationary pad, the elongate member configured to extend generally upwards from the stationary pad, wherein the stationary pad comprises at least a receiving member configured to receive one end of the elongate member, each receiving member being associated with one elongate member; a first bumper releasably attached to the single track adjacent the first end thereof; a second bumper releasably attached to the single track adjacent the second end thereof; each of the first and second bumpers including a top section, side sections and a bottom section configured so as to provide a gap between the top section and the bottom section, the gap being sized to receive the top surface of the single track when each of the first and second bumpers are slidably connected to the single track; and a hinge having a first plate and a second plate, wherein the first plate is rotatably coupled to the second plate, wherein the first plate is fixedly coupled to the stationary pad, and wherein the second plate is fixedly attached to the first end of the single track; wherein the first and second side vehicle members are substantially parallel to each other and are set apart a distance greater than a width of the track; and wherein the stationary pad is adapted to support at least a portion of the anatomy of an exercising user performing exercises; wherein each of the first and second bumpers are slidably connected to the single track to define an operational region of the single track whereby the slidable pad is moveable along the single track between the first and second bumpers. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
