Glider gloves

Abstract

An exercise device includes a glider and a glove that covers at least a portion of the glider. The glove includes a grip disposed on an inner surface of the glove that engages with the glider. The glider and the glove can slide along a surface responsive to a force applied to the glider.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a glider; and   a glove configured to cover at least a portion of the glider, the glove comprising a grip disposed on an inner surface of the glove and configured to engage with the glider;   wherein the glider and the glove are configured to slide along a surface responsive to a force applied to the glider.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the grip of the glove comprises a first material; and   the inner surface of the glove comprises a second material that is different from the first material.   
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 2 , wherein the first material comprises a silicone rubber material and the second material comprises a fabric material. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the glider includes a top surface configured to at least partially receive a portion of a user and a bottom surface configured to face the surface in which the glider and the glove are configured to slide along; and   the grip is configured to contact the bottom surface of the glider.   
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the glider comprises a first material;   the glove comprises a second material; and   the second material has a lower coefficient of friction with the surface than the first material.   
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the surface is at least one of a hardwood floor, a vinyl floor, a tile floor, or a laminate floor. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the glove includes an opening having an elastic band;   the opening is configured to receive the glider; and   the elastic band is configured to bias the glove around the glider.   
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 7 , wherein the grip and the elastic band are disposed on opposing sides of the glove. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the grip is one of a plurality of grips disposed on the inner surface of the glove. 
     
     
         10 . A glove to cover a glider, the glove comprising:
 a grip disposed on an inner surface of the glove;   wherein the grip is configured to engage with the glider; and   wherein the glider and the glove are configured to slide along a surface responsive to a force applied to the glider.   
     
     
         11 . The glove of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the grip of the glove comprises a first material; and   the inner surface of the glove comprises a second material that is different from the first material.   
     
     
         12 . The glove of  claim 11 , wherein the first material comprises a silicone rubber material and the second material comprises a fabric material. 
     
     
         13 . The glove of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the glider includes a bottom surface configured to face the surface in which the glider and the glove are configured to slide along; and   the grip is configured to contact the bottom surface of the glider.   
     
     
         14 . The glove of  claim 10 , wherein:
 the glider comprises a first material;   the glove comprises a second material; and   the second material has a lower coefficient of friction with the surface than the first material.   
     
     
         15 . The glove of  claim 10 , wherein the surface is at least one of a hardwood floor, a vinyl floor, a tile floor, or a laminate floor. 
     
     
         16 . The glove of  claim 10 , further comprising:
 an opening having an elastic band;   the opening is configured to receive the glider; and   the elastic band is configured to bias the glove around the glider.   
     
     
         17 . The glove of  claim 16 , wherein the grip and the elastic band are disposed on opposing sides of the glove. 
     
     
         18 . A method of using an exercise device, the method comprising:
 providing the exercise device including a first glider, a first glove, a second glider, and a second glove;   wherein the first glove is configured to be fit over the first glider;   wherein the second glove is configured to be fit over the second glider;   wherein at least one of the first glider and the first glove or the second glider and the second glove are configured to be moved along a surface when a force is applied;   wherein the first glove includes a first grip disposed on an inner surface of the first glove to fix the first glider relative to the first glove; and   wherein the second glove includes a second grip disposed on an inner surface of the second glove to fix the second glider relative to the second glove.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein:
 the first grip of the first glove comprises a first material; and   the inner surface of the first glove comprises a second material that is different from the first material.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein:
 the first glider includes a top surface configured to at least partially receive a portion of a user and a bottom surface configured to face the surface in which the first glider and the first glove are configured to slide along; and   the first grip is configured to contact the bottom surface of the first glider.
