Benefits of technology

[0037]The exercise apparatus may include a beveled edge. The beveled edge provides stability to the platform. A suitable beveled edge results in the platform surface being smaller than the ground surface of the apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

These devices often include an unsteady platform that tends to rotate, tilt, twist, or otherwise move.
Such exercise devices may have a stable or unstable platform surface.

Embodiment Construction

[0047]The present invention relates to an exercise system apparatus and methods of use thereof. In accordance with the present invention, an exercise platform useful in performing exercises has been discovered. In particular, it has been discovered that using an exercise platform or apparatus of the invention aids a person to perform exercises with proper form and added resistance while providing stability and minimizing the load bearing on the user's back and joints.

[0048]I. Composition

[0049]As illustrated in the drawings, the exercise apparatus 20 comprises a generally rectangular, planar platform 1 which is substantially rigid. The exercise apparatus may be fabricated of any suitable material that provides substantial rigidity but can be easily positioned by a user. For example, but without limitation, the exercise apparatus may be fabricated of a suitable material such as wood, plastic, or a composite material. A skilled artisan will recognize that the suitable material depends ...
