Circular block system for exercising the core of a human

Abstract

A circular block system that comprises of a circular block that has an inner peripheral side and an outer peripheral side, the peripheral sides have the same height. Opposing channels are defined on the outer peripheral sides. Crossing linear channels are defined on the bottom of the circular block. The crossing linear channels connect the opposing channels. A resistance band is passed through the crossing linear channels when using the circular block system to stretch or exercise. The top of the circular block is a non-slip surface.

DESCRIPTION

(9) As seen in FIGS. 1-7, the present invention is a circular block system 100 for exercising the core of a human.

(10) The circular block system comprises a circular block 10 that has an inner peripheral side 10a, an outer peripheral side 10b, a top side 10c, and a bottom side 10d, the inner peripheral side 10a and the outer peripheral side 10b have a same height 10e. The outer peripheral side 10b defines a first channel 12, a second, channel 14, a third, channel 16, and, a fourth channel 18, the first channel 12 aligns with third channel 16, the second channel 14 aligns with the fourth channel 18. The bottom side 10d of the circular block 10 defines a first linear channel 20 that connects the first channel 12 to the third channel 16 and a second linear channel 22 that connects the second channel 14 and to the fourth channel 18, the first linear channel 20 and the second linear channel 22 cross at a central location 10f of the bottom side 10d of the circular block 10. And, a resistance band 30 that has a pair of ends 30a, the resistance band 30 is configured to be placed within either the first linear channel 20 or the second linear channel 22 of the bottom side 10d and each of the pair of ends 30a of the resistance band 30 is configured to be pulled upward by the human when exercising.

(11) In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer peripheral side 10b comprises of equally spaced projections 40 that extend outward from the inner peripheral side 10a to the outer peripheral side 10b of the circular block 10. The equally spaced projections 40 project outward for a distance that is at least one inch.

(12) In another embodiment of the present invention, the first linear channel 20 and the second linear channel 22 have a height 10g of at least one-tenth of an inch.

(13) In still another embodiment of the present invention, the height of the inner peripheral side 10a and the outer peripheral side 10b is at least four inches.

(14) In yet still another embodiment of the present invention, the top side 10c is an anti-slip surface.

(15) In a further embodiment of the present invention, the first linear channel 20 has a width that is at least two inches. The second linear channel 22 has a width that is at least three inches.

(16) The plurality of protrusions of the present invention allows a human to roll the protrusions of the circular block on the body of the user, thereby providing a circular block system that is used by the human to massage him or herself.

(17) An advantage of the present invention is that is provides a circular block system that is used by a human to strengthen his or her core when stretching or balancing.

(18) Another advantage of the present invention is that if provides a circular block system that does not tip over when a human is balancing or stretching on the circular block of the circular block system.

(19) Yet another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a circular block system that allows a human to stretch or strengthen his or her core without risking injury.

(20) Yet still another advantage of the present invention is that it provides a circular block system that allows a human to use the protrusions of the device to massage the back and limbs of the human.

(21) The embodiments of the circular block system described herein are exemplary and numerous modifications, combinations, variations, and rearrangements can be readily envisioned to achieve an equivalent result, all of which are intended to be embraced within the scope of the appended claims. Further, nothing in the above-provided discussions of the circular block system should be construed as limiting the invention to an embodiment or a combination of embodiments. The scope of the invention is defined by the description, drawings, and claims.
