Wellness equipment is provided in the form of an incliner apparatus that can also serve as furniture. The incliner apparatus includes a body support structure and at least one ground engaging rocker coupled to the body support structure to support a user at a variable angular orientation or pitch in response to a position of the user on the body support structure. The incliner apparatus is configured such that the body support structure may assume a horizontal configuration when the incliner apparatus is in a state of equilibrium, and such that the body support structure may assume a declined configuration or an inclined configuration when the user lies on the body support structure with a center of gravity of the user offset from a central reference plane of the incliner apparatus.

An omnidirectional rocking chair for abdominal exercise has a rectangular support base with a convex lower support surface with variable radii of curvature. The chair back supports only the user's lower back. Rocking the chair develops outward momentum in the mass of the user's upper back, arms and head. The minimum lower support surface radius of curvature is in its central portion and the center of that curvature is above the center of gravity of the seated user and chair. The peripheral portions of the lower support surface have larger radii of curvature. The corner portions of the lower support surface have maximum radii of curvature. The effect of progressive increase in support surface radius of curvature is to increase righting moment in the rocking motion where the respective larger radii portions contact the floor. This acts to decelerate outward rocking motion in the chair seat and user's lower back in opposition to the developed outward momentum in the mass of the user's upper back, arms, and head, which engages user abdominal trunk muscles.

An exercise device includes a platform having a surface for supporting a user of the exercise device and a base having a pivot point that defines an axis. In addition, the exercise device includes at least one arm extending from the platform to the pivot point of the base to allow the platform to rotate about the axis defined by the pivot point.

An exercise machine platform that allows for emulation of the natural movements of real-world modes of transportation in stationary exercise machines such as bicycles, rowing machines, elliptical machines, and treadmills. The exercise machine platform comprises a base with one or more powered lifting mechanisms, a frame supported by the lifting mechanisms of the base which allows for roll, pitch, and/or vertical displacement movements, and a rocker plate supported by the frame that allows for additional independent movement from the roll, pitch, and/or vertical displacement movements of the frame. A dampening system controls the additional independent movement between the frame and rocker plate.

A protective rowing device for compression of the abdomen is provided that comprises a brace and U-shaped support member that may connect to a rowing machine seat and rail.

A seesaw exercise device includes: a base plate that is rectangular; a round bar that is fixed to a lower surface of the base plate along a longitudinal center line of the base plate in a manner of extending in a left-right direction, and a pair of square bars that are fixed to the lower surface of the base plate in a manner of holding the round bar therebetween in a front-rear direction, wherein when the base plate is pushed down by a user, the base plate performs a seesaw motion in the front-rear direction with the round bar as a rotation fulcrum, and three parts including an arc surface portion of the round bar, a corner portion of each of the two square bars, and a corner portion of the long side of the base plate, which are separated from one another, are grounded.

[Problem to be Solved]

Provided is an exercise apparatus which can suppress positional displacement when a user is jiggling.

[Solution]

The exercise apparatus 1 includes: a main body part 5 which has a placement part (smooth surface 5a), on which both legs of a user are placed, and an arc part 5b (curved surface) and rotationally moves over a predetermined range by alternate movement of the legs of the user placed on the placement part; and restraining means which restrains movement of the main body part 5 within a horizontal plane. The restraining means has a groove part 5c which is formed by removing a portion of the arc part 5b of the main body part 5 and a columnar body 3 which is fitted into the groove part 5c.
