Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention is generally related to the exercise and physical fitness arts and, in particular, to a novel system and method for exercising many parts of the body. [0002] U.S. Pat. No. 6,540,651 issued to Aberton shows a system which uses an anchor point and a stocking device worn on a lower limb of a user. [0003] U.S. Pat. No. 6,508,749 issued to Broadwater shows a portable exercise device with a handle grip for use in golf practice training. [0004] U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,322,483 and 6,059,698 are examples of door mounted exercise devices. [0005] U.S. Pat. No. 5,624,360 issued to Wilkins in 1997 teaches the use of an exercise system and method which incorporates a foot holster for use in stretching exercises. The methods of use suggested by Wilkins typically require a door or other type of fixed attaching point. [0006] Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to demonstrate an exercise system which utilizes specially designed shoe clips and strap elements so that a separate fixed point is not required in use of the device. [0007] It is also an object of the invention to set forth an exercise system which is highly effective and which is easily transportable by the user. [0008] It is a further object of the invention to show an exercise system which is fabricated of economical plastic/rubber, cloth and equivalent compounds. [0009] It is a still further object to demonstrate a stretching band type of exercise method which does not require the bands to be tied about the hands or or feet for effective use. [0010] It is also an object to describe an exercise system which may be economically mass-produced for widespread commercial appeal in the art. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0011] Specially designed shoe clips are shown which include: [0012] a) an upper generally flat section which includes aperture means for receipt of a strap element, [0013] b) a middle section which includes two generally curved legs which extend from the upper section, [0014] c) a lower generally flat section which also includes aperture means for receipt of a strap element. [0015] The strap elements each include side-mounted D-rings to provide easy attachment of stretching band elements. [0016] The strap elements each include hook and loop fastener sections and a portion which extends around the back of the user's shoe for added support and a more efficient exercise workout. [0017] A wide variety of exercises may be performed in use of the economically mass-produced system and method of use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES [0018] FIGS. 1 through 5 show various exercise methods which may be practiced utilizing the system described herein. [0019] FIG. 6 is a side schematic view of the shoe clip of the present invention. The forward end of a tennis or exercising shoe is placed within said shoe clip. [0020] FIG. 7 is a top view of the shoe clip with the associated strapping elements mounted thereon. A resistance band and handle are also shown in FIG. 7. [0021] FIG. 8 is a bottom view of the shoe clip with a shoe inserted therein. The ridges for traction and stability as well as the D-ring and elastic strap for placement around the back of the shoe are also shown. FULL DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0022] Referring to the drawing FIGS. 1-5, some of the many methods of use of the invention are shown. [0023] As illustrated in FIG. 1, shoe clips 10 are placed on each shoe and a resistance band 22 extends between the shoe clips. Such a configuration can be utilized in the supine position shown in FIG. 1 or the standing position of FIG. 2. Continue reading about Exercise system and method...
