Device to increase muscle focus using touch

Abstract

This invention provides touch stimulation to allow the wearer to feel where the muscle contraction should occur. The present invention relates to a device to increase muscle focus using touch in which a band placed in contact with the body part to be exercised includes a focus point device. A focus point device can be removably attached to the band. The focus point device can be formed of a rigid or flexible material. For example, the focus point device can be formed in the shape of a half sphere including a plurality of blunt protrusions on the round half of the sphere.

1 . A device to increase muscle focus using touch comprising:
 a focus point device, said focus point device including one or more blunt protrusions, wherein said focus point device is adapted to be positioned to contact the muscle.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising a band, said band including one or more attachment areas on an inner surface, the focus point device being removably attached to the one or more attachment areas. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 2 , further comprising a plurality of focus point devices each of the focus point devices being removably attached to the one or more attachment areas. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 2 , wherein said one or more attachment areas include a hook or loop material and said focus point device includes a hook or loop material, said hook or loop material of said one or more attachment areas being attached to the hook or loop material of the focus point device. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein said focus point device includes a half spherical base and said one or more blunt protrusions extending from a rounded top portion of said spherical base. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein said one or more attachment areas include a hook or loop material and said focus point device includes a hook or loop material on a rear portion, said hook or loop material of said one or more attachment areas being attached to the hook or loop material of the focus point device. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein a first attachment material is positioned on an inner surface of a first end of the band and a second attachment material is positioned on an outer surface of a second end of the band, wherein said first attachment material can be adhered to said second attachment material adapted for attaching the band to a body part. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the first attachment material and the second attachment material is a hook or loop material. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the focus point device provides vibration. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the vibration is constant or pulsating. 
     
     
         11 . A method for increasing muscle focus comprising:
 attaching a focus point device adjacent the muscle; and   performing an exercise, wherein the focus point device touches the muscle during the exercise.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the focus point device is attached with a band, said band including one or more attachment areas on an inner surface, the focus point device being removably attached to the one or more attachment areas. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising a plurality of focus point devices each of the focus point devices being removably attached to the one or more attachment areas. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said one or more attachment areas include a hook or loop material and said focus point device includes a hook or loop material, said hook or loop material of said one or more attachment areas being attached to the hook or loop material of the focus point device. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein said focus point device includes a half spherical base and said one or more blunt protrusions extending from a rounded top portion of said spherical base. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said one or more attachment areas include a hook or loop material and said focus point device includes a hook or loop material on a rear portion, said hook or loop material of said one or more attachment areas being attached to the hook or loop material of the focus point device. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein a first attachment material is positioned on an inner surface of a first end of the band and a second attachment material is positioned on an outer surface of a second end of the band, wherein said first attachment material can be adhered to said second attachment material adapted for attaching the band to a body part. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17 , wherein the first attachment material and the second attachment material is a hook or loop material. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising vibrating the attached focus point device during the step of performing an exercise. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 19 , wherein the vibration is constant or pulsating.
