Benefits of technology

The present invention is designed to improve upon existing patents and address deficiencies in the art. The technical effects include limited movement to prevent injury, versatility in physical locations, cost-effectiveness, reliability and durability, long usable life, and ease of use and re-use.

Problems solved by technology

All too often the common, stationary gym exercises do not keep our interest long enough to get us to temporarily forego the comfort of our modern lifestyle long enough for us to begin to gain the long-term look and feel of being more fit.
The ab roller wheels and ab dolly rollers and other abdominal conditioning equipment, presently known, do not provide a means engaging the mind, or psychological excitement, while using them.

Abstract

Non-stationary exercise “inch worm” style platforms are supported by either several skateboard trucks or large wheels on the outside of the platforms. The skateboard trucks include wheels secured to the platform via screws or other fastening mechanisms. At least one wheel includes a ratcheted or clutched one-way bearing to limit movement of the wheel in the desired direction(s). Notched wheels in combination with a track secured to the floor or a greased metal rod or pipe secured on the underside of several platforms can be utilized for further controlling directional movement. Where several platforms are used, the use of a secured stop on the rear platform allows the front platform to move forward as the user's abdominal muscles provide energy for moving the platforms in one direction. Hand-controlled break rods with rubber or plastic stops allow the user to control the pace at which the board is used.
