  • Patent number: 8292790
    Abstract: An exercise device includes at least one arc-shaped wing structure shaped to conform to a curvature of an exterior surface of an exercise ball such that when applied to the exterior surface thereof the at least one arc-shaped wing structure has a lower proximal end and an upper distal radiating end, protrudes away from the exterior surface of the exercise ball to a given distance that increases along a direction from the lower proximal end towards the upper distal radiating end, and is operable to provide an increased resistance against a rolling movement of the exercise ball along a surface when the at least one arc-shaped wing structure comes into rolling contact with the surface. An exercise ball with a plurality of the wing structures is likewise provided, the wing structures being integral or removable.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8235878
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a central hub, a plurality of rib structures radiating from the central hub, and a band. Each rib structure has a proximal end secured at the central hub and terminating at a distal, radiating end. The band is secured to the distal end of each rib structure such that the central hub, the plurality of rib structures, and the band form an enclosure operable to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball.

  • Patent number: 8128537
    Abstract: A handheld, vibratory exercise device with a handle that has a low center of gravity and selectively removable modular weights for incorporating an adjustable and additional resistance. The present invention is a vibratory system with a hand-held resistance device that may have a pendulous shape of “low center of gravity” or “low center of mass” and adjustable weights and thereby provides the opportunity for a unique, multi-faceted neuromuscular load.

  • Patent number: 8012074
    Abstract: An exercise device includes a body having rib-like structures and an annular band. Each rib-like structure has an exterior surface defining a longitudinal extent, terminates at a radiating end, and has at least one wing formed substantially parallel to the longitudinal extent and protruding away from the exterior surface to a given distance that increases along a direction towards the radiating end. The rib-like structures overlap at a central point to comprise a central base. The annular band is connected to the radiating end of each rib-like structure such that the rib-like structures and the band together form a cup-shaped enclosure operable to seat therein a bottom portion of an exercise ball. The at least one wing of each rib-like structure is operable to provide an incremental resistance against a rolling movement of the exercise ball along a substantially flat surface when the exercise ball is seated therein.

  • Patent number: 7942796
    Abstract: An exercise device for controlling the rolling movement of a stability ball during exercise. The exercise device has a central base, a plurality of rib-like structures radiating from the central base, each rib-like structure having at least one wing, formed substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the exterior surface of the rib-like structure and protruding outward at a variable distance, and an annular-shaped band connected to each rib-like structure such that the central base, the plurality of rib-like structures, and the annular-shaped band form a cup-like enclosure. A partial, bottom portion of the stability ball is seated securely in the cup-like enclosure. The at least one wing of each rib-like structure is shaped such that it provides an incremental resistance against the rolling movement of the exercise ball as the ball is rolled along a substantially flat surface.
