Benefits of technology

[0007]Among the advantages of the invention may be one or more of the following: the resistance provided by the moving carriage may be adjusted to provide different exercise experiences. The location and height of the handholds may be adjusted to provide different exercise experiences. The unit is light weight, and can be collapsed for ease of storage, thereby encouraging its use in a home setting. Another aspect of the invention is the carriage guiding the exerciser's feet can be adjusted to provide more or less resistance to meet the needs of the user.

Problems solved by technology

One of the most difficult body areas to exercise is the abdomen and back muscles.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for purposes of illustrating numerous embodiments of the invention only and not for purposes of limiting the same, the figures illustrate the novel idea of an abdominal exerciser and its use.

[0017]As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, various embodiments of exercise machine 1 of the present invention include carriage 8, at least one track 2, and at least two handholds 6. Generally, carriage 8 is configured to travel along at least one track 2. At least two handholds 6 are available for a user of exercise machine 1 to support their body weight while operating exercise machine 1. During operation of exercise machine 1 of a preferred embodiment, user 30, shown in FIGS. 3-5, positions themselves between handholds 6, with their feet positioned on carriage 8, legs extended in front of their body. User 30 draws their legs inward, such that their legs are bent beneath them, then extends their legs backwards, such that there front is facing do...

The present invention relates to an exercise machine in which the person exercising straps their feet to a moveable carriage which is guided by a track. When grasping the handholds the person exercising can pull their feet from the front position to the rear position, exercising upper body together with stomach and back muscles.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The invention relates generally to an exercise assistance machine. More specifically, the invention relates to an abdominal exercising machine.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Exercising is often and frequently accomplished with the help of an exercise machine that provides support and guides the motion of the exerciser's arms and legs so that the desired motion is obtained.[0003]Some machines such as cycling machines provide resistance by using wind drag, while other machines use weight, either external or the weight of the exercising person, to provide resistance. One of the most difficult body areas to exercise is the abdomen and back muscles. This invention solves that problem by providing intensive exercise for the abdomen and back muscles using a simple machine to guide motion of the legs from a front to rear position.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004]The present invention relates to a machine used to assist the user in exercising the user's abdominal muscle...
