  • Patent number: 8647240
    Abstract: An exercise device is provided which includes a surface for supporting a body of a user and a frame(s) for supporting the surface(s) above a floor. Resistance device(s) are connected to the device for providing resistance to movement of the user. Device(s) for adjusting the surface(s) relative in distance to the resistance device(s) during an exercise routine. Device(s) may be provided for adjusting the surface(s) relative in distance to the resistance device(s) during an exercise routine and or relative to the floor. Device(s) may be provided for adjusting the surface(s) closer in relative distance to the resistance device(s) while the orientation of the surface changes from vertical thru horizontal and for adjusting the surface(s) further in relative distance to the resistance device(s) while the orientation of the surface changes from horizontal thru vertical during an exercise routine and or relative to the floor.

    Abstract: An exercise device is provided which includes a surface for supporting a body of a user and a frame(s) for supporting the surface(s) above a floor. Resistance device(s) are connected to the device for providing resistance to movement of the user. A mechanism(s) may be provided for changing the orientation of the surface relative to the floor during an exercise routine. Also a mechanism(s) may be provided for changing the distance, orientation of the surface relative to the resistance device during an exercise routine. Also mechanism(s) may be provided for changing the orientation of the resistance devise(s) relative to the floor during an exercise routine. And mechanism(s) may be provided for changing the orientation of the surface(s) and the resistance devise(s) relative to the floor and to each other during an exercise routine.
