11 . The exercise device of claim 10 , wherein the pad includes an indent that provides a push-off surface.
12 . The exercise device of claim 1 , further comprising an interlocking feature formed in the edge.
13 . The exercise device of claim 12 , wherein the interlocking feature includes a protrusion of a tongue and groove joint.
14 . The exercise device of claim 12 , wherein the interlocking feature includes a slot of a tongue and groove joint.
15 . The exercise device of claim 12 , wherein the interlocking feature is slidable along a complementary interlocking feature of an adjacent exercise device to join the exercise device to the adjacent exercise device.
16 . An exercise device, comprising:
a base, the base further including:
a first side;
a second side opposite the first side;
an edge that joins the first side and the second side;
a pad connected to the first side;
at least one roller connected to the second side; and
a first pivot joint connected to first portion of the edge;
a second pivot joint connected to the second portion of the edge;
a handle, the handle further including:
a first end;
a second end opposite the first end; and
a bridge that connects the first end and the second end;
the first end of the handle is connected to the first pivot joint;
the second end of the handle is connected to the second pivot joint.
17 . The exercise device of claim 16 , wherein the handle has a pivot range that spans from a first position where the bridge is located over the first side to a second position where the bridge is positioned over the second side.
18 . The exercise device of claim 17 , further including:
a first handle stop is formed in the edge that locates the handle in the first position;
the first handle stop forms a first angle with the first side, and the first angle is between 15 degrees and 90 degrees;
a second handle stop is formed in the edge that locates the handle in the second position; and
the second handle stop forms a second angle with the second surface, and the second angle is between 15 degrees and 90 degrees.
19 . The exercise device of claim 16 , further including an interlocking feature formed in the edge;
wherein the interlocking feature is slidable along a complementary interlocking feature of an adjacent exercise device to join the exercise device to the adjacent exercise device.
20 . An exercise assembly, comprising:
a first exercise device;
a second exercise device interlockable with the first exercise device;
each of the first exercise device and the second exercise device including:
a base, the base further including:
a first side;
a second side opposite the first side;
an edge that joins the first side and the second side;
a pad connected to the first side;
at least one roller connected to the second side; and
a pivot joint connected to the edge;
a handle connected to the pivot joint;
the handle has a pivot range that spans from a first position where the handle is in a first transverse orientation over the first side to a second position where the handle is in a second transverse orientation over the second side;
a first handle stop is formed in the edge that locates the handle in the first position;
the first handle stop forms a first angle with the first side, and the first angle is between 15 degrees and 90 degrees;
a second handle stop is formed in the edge that locates the handle in the second position; and
the second handle stop forms a second angle with the second surface, and the second angle is between 15 degrees and 90 degrees;
the first exercise device including a protrusion of a tongue and groove joint formed in the edge; and
the second exercise device including a slot of a tongue and groove joint formed in the edge;
wherein the tongue is slidable along a slot to interlock the first exercise device to the second exercise device.
