ABSTRACT:
The amusement exercise system of the present invention, features a new physical workout system and a new ball-shooter. The workout system emulates a fighting (combat) environment where the player (the person who workouts) fights against the ball shooter. The player throws balls at the ball-shooter while the ball-shooter shoots at the player with a plurality of different-colored balls (to signal different defensive actions by the player) and with pseudo-random striking positions. A ball-collecting net is erected behind the player to collect balls shooting from the ball-shooter. Similarly, a ball-collecting target is erected at the shooter to collect balls thrown by the player. Scores are kept by counting balls inside the net and the target after each fighting run. This amusement workout system provides intensive two-way player-shooter interactions, and allows individuals or group players to enjoy the fun of playing miscellaneous sports and games simultaneously, and at the same time, to achieve whole-body workout, while requiring only limited playing space.
