TECHNICAL FIELD
Herein described invention will have respective field of application in physical personal maintenance, specifically to exercise human body and consequently to achieve a better general physical condition.
BACKGROUND
Today, there are endless numbers of different types of devices to exercise the human body, however, from inventor's point of view, they all have a series of disadvantages that are herein subsequently described:
All types of universal devices which relay on “dead weight” plates and pulleys or free weights, either bars and/or dumbbells which offer different ways and positions to exercise most of human body muscles are often large, heavy, cumbersome and costly, and require large spaces both for use as well as storage. Additionally, all of them incorporate a variety of moving parts and pieces such as cables, pulleys, clamps, bearings, nuts, screws, washers, plates and/or heavy metal disks, etc., and which in their majority do require some type of maintenance, starting with cleaning, since at it happens with any stationary object, they are excellent dust accumulators. Likewise, there is a constant need to adjust, tighten, loosen, lubricate or grease some of the pieces or parts, since when they are used they often become loose, separated or may even turn rusty because some of them are metal made.
On the other hand, there are also technical aspects for every exercise as well as the correct and incorrect way to do them.
Exercising the human body by means of its own weight and/or through dynamic tension, significantly minimizes the risks of getting hurt, in comparison to any exercise type which is performed by using dead weight, as in the case of free weights and/or pulleys devices with dead weight plates.
In the case of free weights and pulleys devices with dead weight plates, there are also certain disadvantages such as having to stop or interrupt a series of exercises to increase or decrease the weight with which work is being done, and in some cases this involves having to stop or interrupt a series of exercises and also having to get up and leave respective exercise position in which a person already was to increase or decrease the weight with which work is being carried out. In both scenarios, this usually happens and regarding free weights, this happens one hundred percent of the time.
Concerning time, one of the main reasons why people cannot practice any type of sport or exercise is firstly the time factor, followed by financial factor, since any type of sport generates costs. Regarding gyms, this implies paying month to month and year after year, memberships that as time goes by become more costly and inaccessible for most people. As far as the inventor is concerned, these two reasons have made him stop going to a gym for the last forty years.
SUMMARY
An advantage to the invention is to provide a dynamic exerciser for the human body which does not require space, is nearly undetectable to the naked eye, effective and of high performance, at very accessible and much lower cost than others of its sort, adaptable to different locations, conditions and circumstances, both indoors and/or outdoors, inside and outside home, office, etc. Inventor's dedication to the practice of physical exercise and respective concern to achieve a good mental and physical state by way of said activity has led him throughout his life to analyze different devices and methods to exercise the body.
The physical structure of the apparatus described herein is not limited to a specific material nor to gender, age or size and accounts for its own case for respective components, and incorporates: bicycle, two-ways adjustable parallel bars, swivel ratchets for different exercises such as dips and push ups at different angles and heights as well as three-ways adjustable roman chair, crunches bar and table, quadriceps seat, ankles attachment harness for inverted crunches, concave supports and multi-purpose supports as combined with resistance bands to exercise limbs, etc.
To have a room spacious enough within the comfort of home specifically designed to exercise body, is without any doubt, a luxury and a great advantage that most people cannot afford. After carefully considering the most relevant disadvantages regarding aforementioned devices as well as the lack of time and/or financial resources, inventor experimented for several years with different methods, and finally designed a human body exerciser, which due to its own characteristics provides another option and solution to stated problems and disadvantages, being aforementioned characteristics described as follows:
A dynamic exerciser for the human body which does not require space, is nearly undetectable to the naked eye, effective and of high performance, at very accessible and much lower cost than others of its sort, adaptable to different locations, conditions and circumstances, both indoors and/or outdoors, inside and outside home, office, etc.
