Lower body exercise machine

Abstract

Provided is a lower body exercise equipment that enables a user to maintain a comfortable and accurate posture during exercise and conveniently adjust load of exercise to enhance exercise effect. A sitting seat of the lower body exercise equipment according to the present invention is ergonomically designed to give a sense of stability in consideration of a curve line of the hip of a user and to evenly distribute body weight of the user during exercise and comprises a first segment, a second segment and a third segment which are joined integrally to form a smooth curved surface. The insides of the thighs of the user contact the third segment 213 when the user sits on the sitting seat. A flat upper cover is formed between an upper edge of the third segment and a front edge of the sitting seat. A recess for accommodating an exercise assembly 300 is formed under the upper cover and the third segment. The exercise assembly 300 is inserted into and arranged in the recess through a recess inlet formed by partially cutting out a central portion of the front edge of the sitting seat.

         2 . The lower body exercise equipment according to  claim 1 , characterized in that radius of curvature of the first segment  211  is smaller than that of the second segment  212  and central portions of the first segment  211  and the second segment  212  are formed to gently concave downward with a depth of 1 to 3 cm more than their respective edge portions. 
     
     
         3 . The lower body exercise equipment according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the exercise assembly  300  comprises: a support plate  310  detachably fixed under the front edge of the sitting seat  200 , the support plate having a shape corresponding to the shape of the recess  220  formed in the sitting seat  200 ; a guide rail  311  formed to protrude on an upper surface of the support plate  310 ; a guide block  320  fixedly mounted to the support plate  310  at one side of the guide rail  311 ; an actuating rod  330  formed in a shape of a threaded rod and mounted on an upper portion of the guide block  320 ; a handle  332  attached to one side of the actuating rod  330 ; a connection block  334  attached to the other side of the actuating rod  330 ; a pair of tension springs  322 , one sides of the tension springs being fixed to both sides of the connection block  334  respectively; arms  324  pivotally mounted to an upper surface of the support plate  310  by means of pivots  326  and having front ends to which the other sides of the tension springs  322  are fixed, respectively; and pressing members  340  integrally attached to the rear ends of the arms  324 , respectively. 
     
     
         4 . The lower body exercise equipment according to  claim 3 , characterized in that the guide rail  311  is formed to traverse the support plate  310  along a direction of a relatively small width of the support plate  310  and that the handle  312  is configured to expose to the front of the sitting seat  200  when the exercise assembly  300  is inserted into the recess  220 . 
     
     
         5 . The lower body exercise equipment according to  claim 4 , characterized in that the connection block  334  is configured to move back and forth along the actuating rod  330  by manipulation of the handle  332  whereby tension of the tension springs  322  with one sides fixedly attached to the connection block  334  is adjusted and that the pressing members  340  have a predetermined degree of cushion respectively.
