Inclinable recumbent exercise device

1. An inclinable recumbent exercise device, comprising:

a rigid support base having front and rear portions, said base extending along a plane from the front portion to the rear portion;

a seat engaged with said base at the rear portion;

a kinetic element engaged with said base at the front portion, said kinetic element having first and second moveable leg engagement elements;

a leg moveably engaged with said base at one of the front and rear portions; and

a fulcrum element positioned below said base and between the front and rear portions, such that the front and rear portions pivot about said fulcrum element to move said kinetic element from a first distance from a floor to a second distance greater than the first distance, and the front portion being positioned above the rear portion relative to the floor;

wherein said base is pivotal about said fulcrum element from a first base position, in which said kinetic element is at an initial position, to a second base position, in which said kinetic element is at a subsequent position above the initial position and said seat.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second leg engagement elements are configured to respectively engage a respective one of a user's feet.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the first and second leg engagement elements are configured to respectively engage a respective one of a user's legs.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein said seat is moveably engaged with said base and moveable, along the plane, and from a first seat position to a second seat position closer to the leg engagement elements.

5. The device of claim 1 , further comprising another leg moveably engaged with the other of the front and rear portion.

6. The device of claim 1 , further comprising at least one roller engaged with the device and configured to roll along a floor to facilitate movement of the device across the floor.

7. A method of adjusting an inclinable recumbent exercise device comprising a rigid support base having front and rear portions, the base extending along a plane from the front portion to the rear portion, a seat engaged with the base at the rear portion, a leg moveably engaged with said base at one of the front and rear portions, a kinetic element engaged with the base at the front portion, the kinetic element having first and second moveable leg engagement elements, and a fulcrum element positioned below the base and between the front and rear portions, such that the front and rear portions pivot about the fulcrum element to move the kinetic element from a first distance from a floor to a second distance greater than the first distance, with the front portion being positioned above the rear portion relative to the floor, said method comprising a step of:

pivoting the base about the fulcrum element from a first base position, in which the kinetic element is at an initial position, to a second base position, in which the kinetic element is at a subsequent position above the initial position and the seat.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the seat is moveably engaged with the base, and the method further comprises the step of moving the seat along the plane from a first seat position to a second seat position.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the method further comprises the step of repositioning the leg from a first leg position to a second leg position below the first leg position.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the method further comprises the step of positioning the other leg from a first other leg position to a second other leg position below the first other leg position.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the device further comprises at least one roller connected to the device and configured to roll along a floor to facilitate movement of the device.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the seat is moveably engaged with the base, and the method further comprises the step of moving the seat along the plane from a first seat position to a second seat position.
