Benefits of technology

[0028]The present invention resembles a device that is a hybrid of a stair stepper, ski simulator, trampoline and pogo stick, with stability frames for added safety. A user grasps the handle and stands with each foot on a pedal and bounces up and down, steps, swings side to side, scissors his legs, or sweeps his legs in a bouncing arc. The user may combine these actions into one action such as bouncing and swinging at the same time, as in skiing. The device is fun to use and therefore provides aerobic and cardiovascular exercise that is enjoyable. The present invention may also be foldable for easy storage.
[0039]It is an object of the invention to provide an adjustable handle with ends that can be angled up to provide different grip points which force the user to place his body in a certain position, thereby forcing the use of certain muscle groups.

Problems solved by technology

Many users abandon exercise equipment after a short period because they find the exercise tedious or because the equipment occupies too much space in their dwelling.

Abstract

The present invention is an exercise device, primarily for aerobic exercise. The invention is a hybrid between a toy called a pogo stick, a stair stepper, a trampoline and a ski simulator. The present invention combines the exercise a user receives from an exercise machine with the enjoyment a user receives from a toy. The user stands on pedals and grasps a handle, then either steps up and down against elastic resistance, or bounces up and down. The user may also swing from side to side or scissor his legs. Additionally, a pivot allows a combination of motions, such as scissoring while bouncing up and down. The amount of resistance may be controlled by adding or modifying elastic components.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The invention relates to exercise equipment, particularly to exercise equipment that provides aerobic and cardiovascular exercise.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Many attempts have been made in the field of physical fitness to develop exercise equipment that enables aerobic exercise in a manner that is challenging and that builds endurance. Many users abandon exercise equipment after a short period because they find the exercise tedious or because the equipment occupies too much space in their dwelling. Attempts to provide solutions to these problems are described below.[0003]U.S. Pat. No. 4,243,218 teaches a hopping vehicle comprising an elongated frame having a lower end adapted to engage a ground supporting surface and having handle bars secured to its upper end. A pair of elongated foot levers are pivotally secured at one end to a horizontal carriage assembly longitudinally slidably mounted to the frame near its lower end. A stirrup for supporting ...
