Abstract:
1. An exercise board for rocking on a floor comprising: a board having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface providing a place upon which a person may stand for performing an exercise; a first rocker extending from the lower surface of the board perpendicular to the two long sides; and a second rocker extending from the lower surface of the board parallel to and spaced from the first rocker, wherein each rocker has a lower profile for engaging the floor, and wherein the lower profile of the first rocker is substantially the same as the lower profile of the second rocker, and wherein each of the lower profiles has an arcuate portion which adjoins a straight portion, wherein the arcuate portion extends along more than half the lower profile of the rocker, and wherein the straight portion defines an angle of about 45 degrees to the upper surface, so that when the exercise board is tilted to bring the straight portions of the rocker profiles into engagement with the floor the upper surface is held in a static position at an angle of about 45 degrees to the floor; a substantially hemispherical projection which extends from the lower surface of the board which is spaced between the first rocker and the second rocker and wherein there is sufficient space around the projection for placing a foot over the projection to stretch the foot without interference with the first and second rockers; and an elastic loop spaced between the first rocker and the second rocker, wherein the elastic loop is of sufficient size to accept a front portion of a foot.
