Abstract:
An exercise apparatus includes a base platform, first and second guide rails, first and second footwells, at least one grasping member, and a resistance device. The first guide rail is disposed on a corresponding first side of the base platform, while the second guide rail is disposed on a corresponding second side of the base platform, such that the second guide rail is parallel to the first guide rail. The first footwell is attached to the first guide rail and can slide along the first guide rail. Likewise, the second footwell attached to the second guide rail and can slide along the second guide rail. The first and second footwells are each configured to receive a foot of the user, such that the user may stand upon the two footwells.

Claim (Index 16):
An exercise apparatus for strengthening a user's muscles comprising:\n a base platform configured to rest upon a substantially horizontal surface; a first guide rail disposed on a first side of the base platform; a second guide rail disposed on a second side of the base platform, the second guide rail being parallel to the first guide rail; a first footwell attached to the first guide rail configured to slide along the first guide rail configured to receive a foot of the user; a second footwell attached to the second guide rail configured to slide along the second guide rail configured to receive another foot of the user; and at least one grasping member attached to a front end of the base platform, the at least one grasping member extending upwardly from the base platform such that it may be grasped by the user while standing on the first footwell and the second footwell; wherein the base platform further includes four feet configured to support the exercise apparatus upon the substantially horizontal surface; wherein the four feet of the base platform are adjustable; wherein the at least one grasping member further includes at least one ergonomic grip configured to be grasped by the user during use of the exercising apparatus; wherein the first guide rail and the second guide rail are sloped, the first guide rail and the second guide rail being configured to provide resistance against the user's movement as the user pulls the first footwell and the second footwell up the first guide rail and the second guiderail against gravity; wherein the resistance device is adjustable, such that a resistance of the exercise apparatus is user-selectable; wherein a slope of the first guide rail and the second guide rail is adjustable, such that the slope of the first guide rail and the second guide rail is user-selectable; wherein an angle of the at least one grasping member is adjustable, such that the angle of the at least one grasping member is user-selectable; wherein a length of the at least one grasping member is adjustable, such that the length of the at least one grasping member is user-selectable; wherein the first footwell and the second footwell each comprise an upwardly-opening receptacle having sidewalls configured to prevent movement of a respective said foot of the user outside of the first footwell and second footwell when the user is using the exercise apparatus; wherein the first footwell, the second footwell, and the sidewalls of the first footwell and the second footwell are contoured to the shape of a respective said foot of the user; wherein the first footwell and the second footwell are oriented such that the user faces toward the front end of the base platform when the user is using the exercise apparatus; and wherein the first footwell and the second footwell each further include a foot-retaining device configured to fasten a respective said foot of the user to each of the first footwell and the second footwell.
