Shock absorbing exercise board

Abstract

An exercise board for an operator to perform a high-impact exercise routine on a horizontal floor is provided. The portable exercise board may include a base board comprising a thin planar geometric shape; a fabric coating comprising the thin planar geometric shape, wherein the fabric coating attaches to and substantially covers an operating surface of the base board, providing a generally cooperating periphery therewith; and a plurality of shock absorbers disposed along a floor surface of the base board for operatively engaging the horizontal floor, whereby the portable exercise board has a low profile yet the floor surface of the base board does not engage the horizontal floor during use.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A portable exercise board comprising:
 a base board comprising a thin planar geometric shape;   a fabric coating comprising the thin planar geometric shape, wherein the fabric coating attaches to and substantially covers an operating surface of the base board, providing a generally cooperating periphery therewith;   and a plurality of shock absorbers disposed along a floor surface of the base board for operatively engaging a horizontal floor,   whereby the portable exercise board has a low profile yet the floor surface of the base board does not engage the horizontal floor during use.   
     
     
         2 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , further providing a protective rim attached along the cooperating periphery of the base board and the fabric coating. 
     
     
         3 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , further providing a handle disposed along the cooperating periphery. 
     
     
         4 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , wherein a thin adhesive layer connects each shock absorber to the floor surface, maintaining the low profile. 
     
     
         5 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , wherein a spray-on fastener attaches the fabric coating to the base board, maintaining the low profile. 
     
     
         6 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , wherein a distance from the floor surface to the horizontal floor is approximately one-half inch. 
     
     
         7 . The portable exercise board of  claim 1 , wherein a distance from the floor surface to a top surface of the fabric coating is approximately less than one and one-half inch. 
     
     
         8 . A portable exercise board comprising:
 a base board comprising a thin planar geometric shape;   a fabric coating comprising the thin planar geometric shape, wherein the fabric coating attaches to and substantially covers an operating surface of the base board, providing a generally cooperating periphery therewith, wherein a spray-on fastener attaches the fabric coating to the base board, maintaining the low profile;   a plurality of shock absorbers disposed along a floor surface of the base board for operatively engaging a horizontal floor, wherein a thin adhesive layer connects each shock absorber to the floor surface, maintaining the low profile and wherein a distance from the floor surface to the horizontal floor is approximately one-half inch;   a protective rim attached along the cooperating periphery of the base board and the fabric coating; and   a handle disposed along the cooperating periphery,   wherein a distance from the floor surface to a top surface of the fabric coating is approximately less than one and one-half inch, and   whereby the portable exercise board has a low profile yet the floor surface of the base board does not engage the horizontal floor during use.
