Exercise slider

Abstract

The exercise slider includes a base having planar sides that selectively attach to an interchangeable handle and an interchangeable pad. The interchangeable handle attaches to one side of the base opposite the interchangeable pad. Attachment of the handle and pad to the base permits selective sliding movement of the exercise slider over a surface such that the handle remains in a substantially fixed position relative to the pad through common attachment to the base.

1 . An exercise slider, comprising:
 a base having planar sides;   an interchangeable handle selectively attachable to one side of the base; and   an interchangeable pad selectively attachable to another side of the base opposite the handle, wherein attachment of the handle and the pad to the base permits selective sliding movement of the exercise slider over a surface such that the handle remains in a substantially fixed position relative to the pad through common attachment to the base.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise slider of  claim 1 , wherein the pad or the handle includes a hook-and-loop fastener, a magnet or a snap-fit mechanism that selectively attaches to a respective hook-and-loop fastener, a magnet or a snap-fit mechanism associated with the base. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise slider of  claim 2 , wherein the snap-fit mechanism comprises an extension that removably locks into a receptacle. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise slider of  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the handle includes a platform that selectively attaches to the base. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise slider of  claim 4 , wherein the handle selectively detaches from the platform. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise slider of  claim 5 , including a tension spring that selectively locks the handle into a sleeve of the platform. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise slider of  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the handle pivots relative to the base about a pin. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise slider of  claim 7 , including a lock that selectively positions the handle at an angle offset relative to the base. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise slider of  claim 1 , including a grip disposed about a portion of the handle. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise slider of  claim 1 , wherein the pad comprises a low-friction material comprising Teflon, felt, or plastic. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise slider of  claim 1 , wherein the handle is elevated up off the base. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise slider of  claim 1 , wherein the base and the pad are circular to permit multi-directional movement.
