Exercise block system and method of use

Abstract

Exercise block systems and methods of use thereof include a plurality of exercise block components. In example forms, the exercise block components are configured for detachable engagement to one another such that the block components may be used separately or connected to one another. The exercise block system may be used as yoga blocks, stretch assistance equipment and/or a meditation seat. The block components may include a plurality of planar and/or non-planar surfaces to accommodate various uses thereof and improve comfort and usability of the exercise block system.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise block system comprising
 a first exercise block and   a second exercise block,   wherein the first and second exercise blocks are releasably attachable to one another.   
     
     
         2 . The exercise prop of  claim 1 , wherein the first exercise block comprises at least one contoured portion. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise prop of  claim 1 , wherein the second exercise block comprises at least one contoured portion. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise proper of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second exercise blocks comprise cooperative interlocking fingers. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise block system of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second exercise blocks comprise one or more planar surfaces and one or more non-planar surfaces. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise block system of  claim 5 , wherein the one or more non-planar surfaces are concave. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise block system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second exercise blocks comprise a thigh supporting portion having a surface positioned and shaped to support a user's thighs when the user is seated on the exercise block system. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise block system of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second exercise blocks comprise a hand supporting portion having a surface positioned and contoured to support a user's fingers. 
     
     
         9 . A block system comprising a plurality of interconnecting blocks, at least one of the plurality of interconnecting blocks comprising:
 a front-end wall;   an inner-side wall;   an outer-side wall opposite the inner-side wall;   a rear-end wall opposite the front end-wall; and   a contoured surface,   wherein the front-end wall, inner-side wall, outer-side wall and rear-end wall are located between and abut a top surface and a bottom surface,   wherein the contoured surface is located between and abut the front-end wall, inner-side wall, outer-side wall and the top surface.   
     
     
         10 . The block system of  claim 9 , wherein the contoured surface is angled down towards the front-end wall. 
     
     
         11 . The block system of  claim 9 , wherein the contoured surface is angled down towards the inner-side wall, 
     
     
         12 . The block system of  claim 9 , wherein the contoured surface is concave. 
     
     
         13 . The block system of  claim 9 , further comprising dove-tail connectors along the rear-end wall. 
     
     
         14 . A reconfigurable support comprising a first component and a second component, the first and second components comprising a length, a width, and a height, the length being greater than the width and the width being greater than the height, the first and second components each comprising an upper side defining at least two surfaces and a bottom side comprising a surface for placement atop a floor surface, wherein at least one of the at least two surfaces of the upper side of each of the first and second component comprises a sloped surface. 
     
     
         15 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 14 , wherein the first and second components are removably connectable to each other. 
     
     
         16 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 14 , wherein the first and second component comprise one or more complementary interengagement features for accommodating the removable attachment of the two components together. 
     
     
         17 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 14 , wherein the length is between about 12-14 inches, wherein the width is between about 5-7 inches, and wherein the height is between about 2.5-4.5 inches. 
     
     
         18 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 17 , wherein the length is about 13 inches, wherein the width is about 6 inches, and wherein the height is about 3.5 inches. 
     
     
         19 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 14 , wherein the first and second components are at least partially formed from a foam material. 
     
     
         20 . The reconfigurable support of  claim 14 , wherein an interior angle of between about 60-120 degrees is defined between the first and second components when removably attached together.
