Exercise Platform

Abstract

An exercise platform includes a primary plate that is planar and defines front and rear surfaces, the primary plate having a pair of side edges displaced laterally from one another and a bottom edge extending between lower ends of the side edges. The primary plate includes a neck portion defining a slot and extending forwardly of upper ends of the side edges. The primary plate defines a plurality of apertures spaced apart along the side edges each enabling attachment of resistance bands or other equipment. A plurality of spacer members is mounted to the rear surface of the primary plate such that the primary plate is displaced from a floor surface—enabling more efficient attachment of resistance bands which may also extend underneath the primary plate. The primary plate may also be adjusted to selected inclined angles when selection members are engaged with the neck slot.

         5 . The exercise platform as in  claim 4 , further comprising a plurality of spacer members adhered only to said plurality of panel areas positioned on said rear side of said primary plate, respectively. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise platform as in  claim 5 , further comprising a plurality of auxiliary spacer members mounted to the rear side of said primary plate adjacent said bottom edge and adjacent said neck portion. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise platform as in  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of apertures are adjacent said pair of side edges, respectively. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise platform as in  claim 1 , further comprising a traction mat adhered upon the front side of the primary platform. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise platform as in  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an inclination assembly having a base plate having a planar configuration configured to lay flat upon a floor surface and having a selector plate extending upwardly from a front edge of said base plate, said selector plate defining a plurality of selector openings each having a configuration complementary to and selectively receiving said neck portion of said primary plate.   
     
     
         10 . The exercise platform as in  claim 9 , wherein said selector plate includes a plurality of selection members positioned in said plurality of selector openings, respectively, each selection member being complementary to and selectively received in said slot of said neck opening. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise platform as in  claim 1 , further comprising (1) a pair of support members each having a pair of opposed end members coupled to said rear side of said primary plate and (2) a body portion extending between said pair of opposed end members, respectively, said pair of opposed end members being perpendicular to said body portion such that said rear side of said primary plate is displaced from a floor surface. 
     
     
         12 . An exercise platform, comprising:
 a primary plate having a pair of side edges displaced laterally from one another and a bottom edge extending between lower ends of said side edges, respectively, said primary plate having a unitary construction and defining a horizontal plane,   said primary plate including a neck portion positioned in said horizontal plane opposite said bottom edge and extending away from upper ends of said pair of side edges,   said neck portion including sidewalls positioned inwardly from said upper ends of said pair of side edges, said neck portion defining a slot,   wherein said primary plate includes opposed front and rear surfaces;   wherein said primary plate defines a plurality of apertures spaced apart along said pair of side edges, respectively.   
     
     
         13 . The exercise platform as in  claim 12 , wherein said plurality of apertures is arranged into groups of two apertures with each group being displaced from a next group by a panel area. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise platform as in  claim 13 , further comprising a plurality of spacer members adhered to said plurality of panel areas positioned on said rear surface of said primary plate, respectively, each spacer member being configured to displace said rear surface from a floor surface. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise platform as in  claim 14 , further comprising a plurality of auxiliary spacer members mounted to the rear surface of said primary plate adjacent said bottom edge and adjacent said neck portion, respectively. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise platform as in  claim 15 , further comprising (1) a pair of support members each having a pair of opposed end members coupled to said rear surface of said primary plate and (2) a body portion extending between said pair of opposed end members, respectively, said pair of opposed end members being perpendicular to said body portion such that said rear surface of said primary plate is displaced from a floor surface when rested thereon. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise platform as in  claim 11 , further comprising:
 an inclination assembly having a base plate having a planar configuration configured to lay flat upon a floor surface and having a selector plate extending upwardly from a front edge of said base plate, said selector plate defining a plurality of selector openings each having a configuration complementary to and selectively receiving said neck portion of said primary plate.   
     
     
         18 . The exercise platform as in  claim 12 , further comprising an inclination assembly including (1) a base plate having a planar configuration configured to lay flat upon a floor surface and (2) a selector plate extending upwardly from a front edge of said base plate, said selector plate defining a plurality of selector openings each having a configuration complementary to and selectively receiving said neck portion of said primary plate.
