Description

This invention relates to a forward bending exercise device for assisting with forward bending exercises that stretch the muscles of the buttocks and thighs. Traditionally, forward bending exercises have been widely performed to adjust pelvic position, improve posture, and alleviate lower back pain, coldness, or swelling. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an exercise aid comprising a seat on which the user sits, and a base formed in a spherical shape below the seat and placed on the floor. By tilting the seat in all directions while the user is seated, the device allows for rotational or twisting movements of the muscles around the lower back. Japanese Patent Publication No. 2013-233426 However, the exercise aid described in Patent Document 1 above involves rotational or twisting movements of the muscles around the waist, and is not necessarily suitable for forward bending exercises. Furthermore, it presents a problem in that it is difficult for people with stiff bodies or the elderly to perform forward bending exercises at all. This invention was made to address the above-mentioned problems, and its objective is to provide a forward bending exercise device that can facilitate forward bending exercises. To achieve the above objective, the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is characterized by being a forward bending exercise apparatus used on a flat base surface, comprising: a main body configured to swing on the base surface and having a seat on which the user sits; an electrically operated vibrating body that vibrates in contact with the user's buttocks or thighs; and a support provided on the main body that supports the vibrating body so as to vibrate on the seat. According to this, the forward bending exercise device allows the user to sit on the seat of the main body and activate a vibrating element to vibrate the user's buttocks or thighs. This promotes blood flow in the buttocks or thighs, making flexion and extension movements around the waist or hip joint easier, thus facilitating forward bending exercises. Another feature of the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is that the seat portion has a vibrating body placement space formed with an upward opening, and the support is configured to support the vibrating body in the vibrating body placement space, separated from the main body portion. In this configuration, the support body holds the vibrating element separately from the main body, preventing the vibration of the element from being hindered by the main body and allowing for efficient stimulation of the user's buttocks or thighs. Another feature of the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is that the support has a belt that is wrapped around and attached to the main body, and the vibrating element is attached to the belt. In this configuration, the vibrating element can be easily attached to the main unit simply by wrapping the belt with the vibrating element attached around the main unit. Another feature of the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is that at least the connecting portion of the belt connected to the vibrating element is elastic. In this configuration, the belt connection is elastic, which prevents the vibration of the vibrating body from being obstructed by the belt, allowing for efficient stimulation of the user's buttocks or thighs. Another feature of the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is that the seat portion has a first portion and a second portion that receive the left and right portions of the user's buttocks, and the first portion and the second portion have spaces for arranging the vibrating body, and when the vibrating body arranged in the space for arranging the vibrating body of the first portion is called the first vibrating body, and the vibrating body arranged in the space for arranging the vibrating body of the second portion is called the second vibrating body, the first vibrating body and the second vibrating body are attached to a common belt. In this configuration, the first and second vibrating elements can be easily attached to the main body simply by wrapping the belt, to which the first and second vibrating elements are attached, around the main body. Another feature of the forward bending exercise apparatus according to the present invention is that the seat portion has a third and a fourth portion that receive the user's left and right thighs, and the third and fourth portions have spaces for arranging the vibrating bodies. When the vibrating body arranged in the space for arranging the third portion is designated as the third vibrating body, and the vibrating body arranged in the space for arranging the fourth portion is designated as the fourth vibrating body, the third and fourth vibrating bodies are attached to a common belt, and the distance between the third and fourth
