Rock and roll exercise fitness device and method

Abstract

An exercise device providing a base, ball or support which can be rocked and rolled via the movement of an attached pole. The support may be weighted and additional movable handles and weights may be added to and guided by, along, or on the pole. The moving and or rock and rolling of the device is used for exercise of the human body.

1 . A method of constructing an exercise device comprising:
 connecting a stick guided element to a stick member, the stick member being affixed at a bottom end to a weighted support with a curved bottom;   the stick guided element capable of movement which is at least one of up, down, off-center, and around the stick member;   a resistance between the stick guided element and the stick member increases the force necessary to displace the stick guide element relative to the stick member; and,   the curved bottom of the support being movable across a surface in response to the movement of the stick guided element on the stick member.   
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the stick guided element is weighted 
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 2 , the method further comprising or subtracting weight from the stick guided element. 
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , the method further comprises adding or subtracting weight from the support. 
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , the method further comprising altering the surface which the support rolls or rocks on by interposing a mat between the curved bottom of the support and the surface. 
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 5  wherein the mat is a shaped ground covering. 
   
   
       7 . An stick exercise device comprising:
 a movable base with at least a partially curved bottom;   a stick-like member attached to the base;   a hand held movable element with a stick guide movably supported on the stick-like member, wherein the stick guide is of a shape and size which is sufficient to allow some movement of the hand held movable element at least one of up, down and around the stick-like member;   a resistance means between the stick-lie member and the hand held movable element to increase the resistance to movement of the hand held movable element along or about the stick-like member; and,   the movable base is responsive to the movement of the hand held movable element on the stick-like member.   
   
   
       8 . The stick exercise device of  claim 7  wherein at least one of the base, stick-like member and stick guided hand held movable element is weighted. 
   
   
       9 . The stick exercise device of  claim 8  wherein the amount of weight is adjustable. 
   
   
       10 . The stick exercise device of  claim 7 , further comprising a mat interposed between the curved bottom and a surface. 
   
   
       11 . The stick exercise device of  claim 10  wherein the mat is a shaped ground covering. 
   
   
       12 . An exercise device comprising:
 a weighted rockable base with at least a partially curved bottom;   a stick attached to the rockable base, wherein the stick is roughly upright when the device is at rest; and,   a movable element with a stick guide connect to the stick via a stick guide.   
   
   
       13 . The exercise device of  claim 12  wherein the movable element is weighted. 
   
   
       14 . The exercise device of  claim 12  further comprising a texture on at least a portion of the partially curved bottom. 
   
   
       15 . The exercise device of  claim 12  wherein at least one of the rockable base, the stick and the movable element is at least partially hollow. 
   
   
       16 . The exercise device of  claim 15  wherein a non-fixed material is added to at least one of the hollow rockable base, the stick and the movable element. 
   
   
       17 . The exercise device of  claim 16  wherein the non-fixed material is selected from one or more of the group consisting of a liquid, beads, gravel, sand, pellets.
