Description
- The present application is related to and claims priority from prior provisional application Ser. No. 61/265,859, filed Dec. 2, 2009 which application is incorporated herein by reference.
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates generally to the field of exercising apparatuses for strengthening muscles and more specifically relates to an exercising apparatus that strengthens the muscles of a user which are used in a swinging motion applied during various sports such as tennis or baseball.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Regular physical activity provides enormous health benefits. It helps reduce heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes, and many other diseases and metabolic conditions. Regular fitness exercise is also highly beneficial for weight reduction, weight maintenance, and may improve brain chemistry to reduce depression. By contrast, health studies that have monitored the wellbeing of large groups of people over many years clearly show that inactivity significantly increases the risk of overweight, obesity and chronic diseases.
- Many people regularly go to the gym to improve their health and fitness. Unfortunately the use of gyms is costly and some people simply cannot afford to regularly exercise in a gym. Further, many people play various ball sports and use specific muscle groups for these sports. Gyms may not have the equipment which is necessary and appropriate to train these specific muscle groups.
- Therefore a need exists for a device which effectively allows an athlete to perform the natural athletic motions of one specific sporting activity, using sport specific components and resistance bands to strengthen all substantially related muscle groups. The device may be tailored toward different sporting activities such as hitting a baseball, softball, hockey puck, or tennis ball.
- Various attempts have been made to solve the above-mentioned problems such as those found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,618,942, 6,413,196, 1,137,349, 5,269,512, 2,848,234, and 7,134,968. This prior art is representative of exercising apparatuses for strengthening muscles. None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the invention as claimed.
- Ideally, an exercising apparatus that strengthens the muscles of a user which are used in a swinging motion applied during various sports such as tennis or baseball should be easy to use, easy to transport, provide the correct exercises for specific sports in an uncomplicated and efficient manner, would operate reliably and be manufactured at a modest expense. Thus, a need exists for a reliable exercising system to provide the correct exercises for specific sports and to avoid the above-mentioned problems.
- In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known exercising apparatuses for strengthening muscles art, the present invention provides a novel Hit Strong Power Trainer System. The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail is to provide an exercising apparatus that strengthens the muscles of a user.
- An exercising apparatus for strengthening particular muscle groups is disclosed herein comprising a handle member including a threaded attacher, and an elastic tether with an anchor at each of its two ends. The handle member preferably comprises an elongated tubular plastic shaft with a length of twelve inches or less. The handle member has a proximal end comprising a knob and a distal end. The threaded attacher may comprise a ferrous eye hook and is fixed to the distal end of the handle member.
- The elastic tether may comprise a rubber core and polypropylene covering and has a first end and a second end. The rubber core and polypropylene covering alternate between tension and compression states caused by the movements of a user. The device further comprises a first anchor and a second anchor. The first anchor which preferably comprises a carabiner clip is fixed to the first end of the elastic tether and is removably clip-connected to the threaded attacher so as to connect the elastic tether to the handle member. The second anchor which preferably comprises a carabiner clip is fixed to the second end of the elastic tether and is removably clip-connected to a stationary vertical structure comprising a fence.
- The device may be tailored toward different sporting activities, such as hitting a baseball, golf ball, hockey puck, or tennis ball via exchanging the elongated tubular plastic shaft with a ball bat lower portion or hockey stick upper portion, a tennis racquet lower portion or a golf club upper portion.
- A kit is also disclosed herein, including at least one handle member, at least one threaded attacher, at least one elastic tether having a first end and a second end, at least one first anchor, at least one second anchor, at least one ball bat lower portion, at least one hockey stick upper portion, at least one tennis racquet lower portion, at least one golf club upper portion, and a set of user instructions.
- Further, a method of using an exercising apparatus for strengthening particular muscle groups and building up muscle memory is disclosed herein comprising the steps of removably connecting an elastic tether to an end portion of a handle member via a first anchor, removably connecting the elastic tether to a fence, door, pole, or other stationary object via a second anchor, positioning the handle member in the hands of a user, assuming a natural stance of a specific sports action, practicing the specific sports action to develop muscle memory, disconnecting the elastic tether from the fence, door, pole, or other stationary object and disconnecting the elastic tether from the handle member, when the activity is completed.
- The present invention holds significant improvements and serves as a Hit Strong Power Trainer System. For purposes of summarizing the invention, certain aspects, advantages, and novel features of the invention have been described herein. It is to be understood that not necessarily all such advantages may be achieved in accordance with any one particular embodiment of the invention.
