Orbital vibration training and exercise device

Abstract

The present invention provides, in at least one embodiment, an orbital or co-orbital vibration training and exercise device featuring a housing containing two weighted disks. The unit's housing features two handles that can be grabbed from multiple points and they can also be used as a pedal when the device is used for the lower extremities. As the motion is made by the end user (example: frontal pulls) the two disks spin in opposite directions creating a challenging instability that requires the recruitment of more muscles to control, providing a deep tissue and toning exercise.

1 . An exercise device comprising:
 a housing;   two handles, wherein each handle is disposed on opposite sides of the housing;   two disks located in respective recesses within one side of the housing, wherein each disk is coupled to a weight; and   a retractable cable coupled to each of the two disks and a spring mechanism, wherein the two disks rotate in opposite direction when the cable is pulled away from the housing.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein a location of the weights relative to the disks is adjusted along a radius of the disks. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise device of  claim 2 , wherein the weight is increased as the weights are adjusted outwards towards the edge of disks. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a pedestal coupled to a distal end of the retractable cable. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise device of  claim 4 , wherein the pedestal is connected to the retractable cable by a connector. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , wherein the handles comprise one or more grips. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a spring to retract the retractable cable into the housing. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise device of  claim 1 , further comprising a separator configured to keep the retractable cable coupled to each of the two disks separate. 
     
     
         9 . An exercise device comprising:
 a housing;   one or more disks on the housing, the disks producing vibrations;   a knob coupled to the disks, the knob controlling the degree of vibration; and   one or more handles attached to the housing, wherein the handles are configured to receive the vibrations.   
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , further comprising one or more adjustable weights attached to the disks. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 10 , wherein the weight is increased as the weights are adjusted outwards towards the edge of disks. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , wherein the handles comprise one or more grips. 
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 9 , further comprising a cable attached to the disks. 
     
     
         14 . The exercise device of  claim 13 , further comprising a spring to retract the cable into the housing. 
     
     
         15 . The exercise device of  claim 13 , further comprising a pedestal attached to the cable, wherein a user can step on the pedestal. 
     
     
         16 . The exercise device of  claim 15 , wherein the pedestal is connected to the cable by a connector. 
     
     
         17 . The exercise device of  claim 13 , wherein the cable comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the first end attaches to a first disk and the second end attaches to a second disk. 
     
     
         18 . The exercise device of  claim 17 , further comprising a separator configured to keep the first end of the cable separate from the second end of the cable.
