Exercise apparatus
View Patent ↗An exercise apparatus includes a flexible panel that has a top side, a bottom side, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. A strap is integrally coupled to the first end edge and extends away therefrom. The strap has a distal end with respect to the panel. A coupler releasably secures the strap in a closed loop. A spherical ball is removable positioned in the closed loop. A person may sit upon the top side and utilize the closed loop as a lower back support while exercising.
1. An exercising apparatus comprising:
a compressible panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, said panel being flexible;
a strap being integrally coupled to said first end edge and extending away therefrom, said strap having a distal end with respect to said panel, said strap being equally spaced from said first and second lateral edges;
a coupler securing said strap in a closed loop; and
a spherical ball being removable positioned in said closed loop, wherein a person may sit upon said top side and utilize said closed loop as a lower back support while exercising.
2. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said panel comprises a resiliently compressible material.
3. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said strap has a length from said panel to said distal end between 24 inches and 40 inches.
4. The apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said coupler includes a first mating member attached to a bottom surface of said strap and a second mating member attached to said bottom side of said panel, said first and second mating members being releasably coupled together.
5. The apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein said coupler selectively adjusts a length of an inner perimeter of said closed loop, said coupler comprising a hook and loop coupler.
6. An exercising apparatus comprising:
a panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, said panel being flexible, said panel comprising a resiliently compressible material;
a strap being integrally coupled to said first end edge and extending away therefrom, said strap having a distal end with respect to said panel, said strap being equally spaced from said first and second lateral edges, said strap having a length from said panel to said distal end between 24 inches and 40 inches;
a coupler releasably securing said strap in a closed loop, said coupler including a first mating member attached to a bottom surface of said strap and a second mating member attached to said bottom side of said panel, said coupler selectively adjusting a length of an inner perimeter of said closed loop, said coupler comprising a hook and loop coupler; and
a spherical ball being removable positioned in said closed loop, wherein a person may sit upon said top side and utilize said closed loop as a lower back support while exercising, said ball being resiliently compressible.
7. An exercising apparatus comprising:
a panel having a top side, a bottom side, a first end edge, a second end edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, said panel being flexible;
a strap being integrally coupled to said first end edge and extending away therefrom, said strap having a distal end with respect to said panel;
a coupler securing said strap in a closed loop;
a spherical ball being removable positioned in said closed loop, wherein a person may sit upon said top side and utilize said closed loop as a lower back support while exercising; and
a first mating member attached to a bottom surface of said strap and a second mating member attached to said bottom side of said panel, said first and second mating members being releasably coupled together.
8. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said panel comprises a resiliently compressible material.
9. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said strap is equally spaced from said first and second lateral edges, said strap having a length from said panel to said distal end between 24 inches and 40 inches.
10. The apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein said coupler selectively adjusts a length of an inner perimeter of said closed loop, said coupler comprising a hook and loop coupler.
