  • Patent number: 6056613
    Abstract: A recently popular form of exercise and therapy, aquatic exercising devices present unique operating conditions to the body because of their use of water resistance and their buoyancy. By making proper use of water resistance, such devices can provide the body with excellent muscular and cardiovascular training, at the same time, the buoyancy offered by these devices eliminates the stress and injuries associated with the jarring impact of such landbased exercises as running and aerobics. It is also an object of the present invention to provide an aquatic exercise devise that is a singular unit. The inventor began attending a water aerobic class in 1995 for health reasons. Exercising in the water took most of the pain out of the movement, but the inventor found that she was still hurting herself. She sought to reach a truly weightless state in which to condition her body.
