METHOD OF EXERCISING THE HUMAN BODY PREFERABLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE USE OF AT LEAST ONE PIECE OF GYM OR SPORT EQUIMENT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF A PREDETERMINED TRAINING PROGRAM COMPRISING CARRYING OUT OF A SEQUENCE OF STEPS WITH EACH STEP INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF LEG MOVEMENTS ON A FLOOR MAT WHEREIN AT LEAST ONE LEG MOVEMENT IN EACH STEP CAUSES A ROTATIONAL BODY AND/OR HIP MOVEMENT IN UNISON WITH THE LEG MOVEMENT DURING THE TRAINING PROGRAM

摘要

The subject invention is directed to a method of exercising the human body comprising the steps of executing a training program on a floor mat consisting of a multiplicity of boxes arranged in horizontal rows and vertical columns to form a checker board pattern of boxes on the surface of the floor mat with only one box located in common at the intersection between each horizontal row and each vertical column with each of the multiple boxes being equal in size and adapted to accommodate the foot size of substantially any person exercising on the floor mat such that the location of each foot on the floor mat will correspond to substantially only one coordinate box position with little or no overlapping, with said method comprising the steps of: using a human individual or a recording machine to execute the training program by calling out a sequence of steps corresponding to at least the movement of one leg of the person exercising on the floor mat relative to the other leg which is held stationary so that the moving leg moves from one specified coordinate box position on the floor mat to another specified coordinate box position, with each leg movement selected from the group consisting of a forward leg movement, a backward leg movement, a lateral forward or lateral backward leg movement and a rotational leg movement, and with each step being called out in a predetermined consecutive sequence corresponding to, at least, the leg movements of the person exercising on the floor mat with at least one of the steps, or a consecutive combination of the steps, in said sequence requiring the moving leg to cause the body and/or pelvis of the person exercising on the floor mat to rotate, at least partially, relative to the non-moving leg and in unison with the rotation of the body such that the person exercising on the floor mat forms a pattern of movements corresponding to movements of the person in their everyday lifestyle integral to his or her occupation or to a pattern of movements corresponding to a given gym exercise or for simulating a given sport.
