Exercise pad assembly

Abstract

A method of exercising is provided for using an exercise pad assembly. The exercise pad assembly includes a pair of panels that are each positionable on a support surface thereby facilitating a user to place the user's feet thereon. A sheet is coupled to each of the panels and the sheet abuts the support surface. The sheet is comprised of an elastomeric material to frictionally engage the support surface. The sheet inhibits the panels from sliding along the surface when the user slides the user's feet along the panels for the purposes of exercise. The method includes steps of positioning the exercise pad assembly, sliding a user's feet on the exercise pad assembly, and storing the exercise pad assembly.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A method of exercising, the steps of the method comprising:
 having an exercise pad assembly comprising
 a pair of panels, each of said panels being configured to be positioned on a support surface, and 
 a sheet being coupled to each of said panels wherein said sheet is configured to abut the support surface, said sheet being comprised of an elastomeric material wherein sheet is configured to frictionally engage the support surface thereby inhibiting said panels from sliding on the support surface; 
   positioning the exercise pad assembly on the support surface; and   exercising by sliding of at least one of a user's feet on the exercise pad assembly.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein each of said panels has a first surface, a second surface and a peripheral edge extending therebetween, said peripheral edge corresponding to each of said panels having a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a front side and a back side, said second surface corresponding to each of said panels angling downwardly toward said first lateral side of said corresponding panel to define a chamfer on said corresponding panel, the steps of the method further comprising
 the positioning step incorporating positioning of the first surface of each panel facing the support surface; and   the exercising step incorporating sliding of the at least one of the user's feet on the second surface of at least one of the panels.   
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein said sheet has a primary surface and a secondary surface, said first corresponding to each of said panels being coupled to said primary surface of said sheet having said sheet covering each of said panels, said first lateral side of each of said panels being aligned with each other and being spaced apart from each other to define a fold space between said panels, the steps of the method further comprising storing the exercise pad assembly by folding the panels into a compact position and placing the exercise pad assembly into a storage space. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein each of said panels is positionable in an unfolded position having said second surface corresponding to each of said panels being oriented coplanar with each other, the step of positioning the exercise pad assembly further comprising unfolding the panels and positioning the second surfaces of the panels to be coplanar over the support surface. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 3 , wherein the steps of the method further include each of said panels being folded having said sheet being compressed between said panels, said chamfer on each of said panels inhibiting said first lateral side of each of said panels from engaging each other when said panels are positioned in said unfolded position wherein said chamfers are configured to inhibit fingers from being pinched between said panels when said panels are positioned in said unfolded position.
