Abstract: An exercising apparatus and method. The apparatus has an endless sport mat with an outer layer made of elastic material and an inner layer made of a flexible abrasion resisting material, horizontally spaced rollers about which the endless mat is looped, including front and rear driving rollers, and at least three supporting rollers for supporting a selected middle body area of a user, and a rigid frame for housing the rollers. During three stages of advancement of the selected middle body area, (1) a portion of the endless mat is depressed between first and second rollers, (2) the depressed mat portion rotates the first roller and the endless mat is manually driven, and (3) the selected middle body area is massaged by the second roller while performing a propelling movement.

Abstract: An exercising apparatus for allowing mobility recovery and slimming activities. The apparatus is an endless belt-like exercising sport mat device which comprises a) an endless belt padded with a relatively soft and elastic material for serving as a sliding sport mat; b) a rolling mechanism for allowing the endless belt to be looped at a relatively low speed around the rolling mechanism, thereby providing a lower belt section and an overlying upper belt section on which a user may perform such activities; c) a supporting surface disposed under the inner surface of said upper belt section supporting relation thereto and depressible therewith under the weight of a user for aiding the user to move the endless belt; and d) a rigid frame for containing the supporting surface and the rolling mechanism.
