The same reference numerals refer to the same parts through the various figures. 
 DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT With reference now to the drawings, and in particular, to figures one through three thereof, the preferred embodiment of the new and improved boxing attachment for a treadmill embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention and generally designated by the reference number 10 will be described. Specifically, it will be noted in the various figures that the device relates to a boxing attachment for a treadmill for augmenting a treadmill to provide a more thorough cardiovascular workout. In its broadest context, the device consists of a treadmill and a pair of pads. Such components are individually configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to attain the desired objective. The treadmill 12 has an upright support 14 extending upwardly therefrom. The upright support 14 includes a central horizontal tube 16 . The treadmill 12 resembles those known in the art. Note FIG. 1 . The pair of pads 18 are adjustably coupled with respect to the treadmill 12 for being positioned in front of a person using the treadmill 12 . The pair of pads 18 have a horizontal support 20 extending therebetween. The horizontal support 20 is rotatably received within a horizontal segment 22 of a T-shaped collar 24 . The T-shaped collar 24 has a vertical segment 26 extending downwardly from the horizontal segment 22 . The vertical segment 26 has a vertical support bar 28 slidably received therein. The vertical support bar 28 has a pair of angular supports 30 extending downwardly therefrom. The angular supports 30 each have a coupling collar 32 disposed on free ends thereof for coupling with the central horizontal tube 16 of the upright support 14 of the treadmill 12 . In use, the pair of pads 18 can be adjusted to be properly positioned in front of the person using the treadmill 12 . Both the height and angle of the pad's 18 can be adjusted to accommodate different punches. The pads 18 can be folded forwardly toward the person and face the floor for uppercuts. The pads 18 can also be turned inwardly to accommodate a crossing punch. Additionally, the pads 18 can be positioned straight, as in FIG. 1 , for straight jab punches. As to the manner of usage and operation of the present invention, the same should be apparent from the above description. Accordingly, no further discussion relating to the manner of usage and operation will be provided. With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and the manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
