Orbiting exercise device and method

USPTO Application #: 20060276315
Title: Orbiting exercise device and method
Abstract: An exercise device and method to strength muscles and develop Chi by moving guided handles along an orbital path. Weights may be added or weight may be adjusted. The handles are attached to an elongated member on one or more pivots attached by one or more rotating assemblies. Resistance may be added to increase the force required to move the stick member along a path. (end of abstract)

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] The present invention relates to an exercise device and method of use. More specifically, to a guided movement of weight at least partially around a pivot.

[0003] 2. Background Art

[0004] Tai Chi is a system of controlled movements which when properly executed is believed by many practitioners to develop the internal life energy or "Chi" of the practitioner. Tai Chi is suitable for all age groups, is non-jarring and can build stamina and strength. Tai Chi movements derive from a concept of "yin" and "yang" which roughly means opposing forces, smooth fluid controlled movements are a hallmark of Tai Chi. Learning the controlled Tai Chi movements is accomplished through repetitive practice.

[0005] Practitioners may engage in carefully executed non-jarring patterns of movement to develop greater balance and Chi. Tai Chi also can provides aerobic exercise, toning, strengthening and muscle development.

[0006] Strengthening or toning exercise methods and devices for the abdomen, trunk and other muscles groups are often jarring or require a user to support weight. Exercise which is stop--start--stop an not circular may place more stress on joints than circular exercises. It would be useful to engage in a guided non-jarring training and exercise to develop balance, tone and/or strengthen muscles. It would also be a desideratum to have a device to guide such movement.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

[0007] An exercise method for a guided orbital movement of at least a user's arms.

[0008] An exercise method for a guided roughly circular movement of at least a users arms.

[0009] A device with at least one hand hold or hand grip, movable at least partially around at least one pivot.

[0010] A device with at least one hand hold or hand grip, movable at least partially around at least one pivot.

[0011] A device with at least one hand hold or hand grip, movable at least partially around at least one pivot in a roughly circular path.

[0012] A device with at least one hand hold or hand grip, movable at least partially around at least one pivot in a roughly circular path. The roughly circular path may be adjustable to the position of a user.

[0013] An exercise method whereby a user moves at least one hand hold or hand grip around one or more pivots in a roughly circular path. Changes in the positions of a user (which may include, but is not limited to the arms, legs, and torso) relative to a hand grip or hand hold, may target different muscle groups

[0014] Some exemplary implementations provide a force against which the hand grips or hand holds are moved.

[0015] Some exemplary implementations provide a resistance against which the hand grips or hand holds are moved. Resistance may be positive, negative or a combination thereof.

[0016] In some exemplary implementations the force a user moves the device to overcome may be fixed, selectable, variable or a combination.

[0017] In some exemplary implementations the resistance a user moves the device to overcome may be fixed, variable or a combination. The resistance may be adjustable or selectable.

[0018] At least member connected to one or more hand holds or hand grips. The hand holds or hand grips being movably connected to the member and the member being movably connected to a support.

[0019] At least one elongated member supporting one or more hand holds or hand grips. The hand holds or hand grips being pivotally connected to the elongated member and the elongated member being movably connected to a support.

[0020] At least one guide body supporting one or more hand holds or hand grips. The hand holds or hand grips being movably connected to the guide body and the guide body being movably connected to a support.

[0021] At least one guide body supporting one or more hand holds or hand grips. The hand holds or hand grips being movably connected to the guide body and the guide body being rotationally connected to a support.

[0022] At least one guide body supporting one or more hand holds or hand grips. The hand holds or hand grips being movably connected to the guide body and the guide body being pivotally connected to a support.
