Abstract

An exercise balance board is described, containing a platform for a user supported by a resilient, air-filled partial sphere. It contains features which allow users of any size or fitness level to properly exercise muscle groups. The balance board allows a user to exercise upper and lower muscle extremity groups either individually or simultaneously.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An article of manufacture, comprising:
 a rigid elongated platform with a top side, a bottom side, a first end and a second end; a resilient balancing element having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a volume; said resilient balancing element top surface joined to said rigid elongated platform bottom side, and said resilient balancing element being adjustable in volume; one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform at the first end, and one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform at the second end; and one or more flexible elements being disposed in said compartments.   
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the resilient balancing element is approximately a half-sphere. 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said resilient balancing element has one or more patterns disposed on the outer surface. 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 3  wherein said patterns indicate stability levels. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said flexible elements have handles. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 5  wherein said handles are removable and interchangeable. 
     
     
         7 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said compartments contain retraction devices. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 7  wherein said flexible elements are attached to said retraction devices. 
     
     
         9 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said rigid elongated platform has two compartments disposed at the first end and two compartments disposed at the second end. 
     
     
         10 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said rigid elongated platform has three compartments disposed at the first end and three compartments disposed at the second end. 
     
     
         11 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said rigid elongated platform has four compartments disposed at the first end and four compartments disposed at the second end. 
     
     
         12 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said compartments are comprised of a hollow space with a cover. 
     
     
         13 . The article of  claim 1  wherein a joining mechanism is disposed in each of said compartments; and one or more flexible elements is releasably attached to said joining mechanism. 
     
     
         14 . The article of  claim 1  wherein weights may be attached to the rigid elongated platform. 
     
     
         15 . The article of  claim 1  wherein an auxiliary rigid elongated platform is disposed on the resilient balancing element bottom outer surface. 
     
     
         16 . The article of  claim 15  wherein the rigid elongated platform and the auxiliary rigid elongated platform are joined. 
     
     
         17 . The article of  claim 1  wherein an activity board is removably disposed on the top side of the rigid elongated platform. 
     
     
         18 . The article of  claim 1  wherein an extension device is disposed on the end of the rigid elongated platform. 
     
     
         19 . The article of  claim 1  wherein at least one handle is removably attached to the top side of the rigid elongated platform. 
     
     
         20 . The article of  claim 1  wherein said resilient balancing element is composed of multiple component elements. 
     
     
         21 . An article of manufacture, comprising:
 a rigid elongated platform with a top side, a bottom side, a first end and a second end, a top left side and a top right side; a resilient balancing element having an inner surface, an outer surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, and a volume; said resilient balancing element top surface joined to said rigid elongated platform bottom side, and said resilient balancing element being adjustable in volume; one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform at the first end, one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform at the second end, one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform top first side, one or more compartments disposed in said rigid elongated platform top second side; and one or more flexible elements being connected to said compartments.   
     
     
         22 . The article of  claim 21 , wherein a stability base is attached to said rigid elongated platform.
