Complete and portable aquatic exercise system called: "The Hydro Jogger"™

Abstract

The invention: “The Hydro Jogger™” in its simplest form is a portable personal exercise pool constructed of durable plastic walls to contain a body of water to perform low impact vertical and horizontal resistive exercises. Its variations, accessories and innovations make it a complete aquatic exercise system to serve a wide spectrum of users to include the professional athlete, average exerciser and accommodate or rehabilitate the physically impaired. Some of the attributes include, state of the art automated controls, remote controls, biometric telemetry, machine messaging and equipment management and exercise programs. Real-time data generated from the inventions components and the exerciser and are monitored and stored locally in the controller. Remote monitoring is available via related technology. The invention and progressive design as well as, the many accessories constitute the complete aquatic exercise system for the home and professional clinic. The invention is appropriately priced and configured for the average person to own, set up, maintain, break down and move.

       5 . A claim according to  claim 1  is made to form a watertight containment out of rigid water-tight materials that are lightweight, and can form a water tight containment of a desired set height, or several heights in stages that elevate to specific heights by air, hydraulic, electrical and or mechanical means.  
   
   
       6 . A claim according to  claim 1 , is made for a pneumatic inflatable construction of the invention with the use of an air pump or compressor to inflate and maintain the watertight containment walls in a vertical state with air or gas pressure, and or similarly accomplished with hydraulic or fluid pressure and the appropriate equipment.  
   
   
       7 . A claim according to  claim 1 , is made for an air pump to provide sufficient air pressure to inflate the pool walls and aerate the water with bubbles injected into the water from one way valves in the pool wall.  
   
   
       8 . A claim according to  claim 1 , is made for an electronic management system, a controller to be responsive to a set of sensors to monitor and manage the pools pressurized structure, clean fluid operation, automated equipment maintenance, water level, temperature and fluid flow as described in the specification.  
   
   
       9 . A claim is made according to  claim 1 , for an electronic biometric sensor package to report on the aquatic exerciser's real-time physical state via a responsive local controller interfaced with responsive local memory and a telemetry technology either physically connected or wireless as described in the specification.  
   
   
       10 . A claim is made according to  claim 1 , for a processor/controller to be preprogrammed with software monitoring the mechanical and physical sensor settings/parameters to maintain a structurally sound and physically safe and healthy pool state to include; structure, water chemistry, clarity and detectable pathogens and or hazards and to provide warnings to those hazards.  
   
   
       11 . A claim according to  1 , is made for the use of remote controls and management technology to include detachable memory that can store, and when connected to a computer/processor be queried responsively and deliver stored data to a compatible windows application program on a personal computer, laptop, PDA or PFNs wireless internet terminals as detailed in the specification.  
   
   
       12 . A claim according to  1 , is made for the use of remote control and management technology for at least one wireless interface to deliver the data form the pool operation and or the exerciser to a locally remote computer monitor with wireless modem or via wireless telephony, IP protocols or a PFN wireless internet terminal and or land line internet connection as detailed in the specification.  
   
   
       13 . A claim according to  claim 1  is made for remote control and management software with programming in a windows application to operate on a PC or MAC platforms and process operational pool data for manufacture service analysis and remote repair and to provide the consumer additional equipment information for accessory electronic components for remote installation via encrypted security implementations as detailed in the specification.  
   
   
       14 . A claim according to claims  1  is made for the security encryption of the software programming access to be separate and unique for authorized access for manufacture augmentations and for the access to private individual personal data stored by the owner and their health care professionals.  
   
   
       15 .
