ABSTRACT:
A stepper for use during aerobic stepping exercises. The invention has modular platforms that allow for one or more platforms to be horizontally attached to a central platform. Side platforms can be attached to the center platform forming steps in every direction surrounding the center so that the user may step from one platform to another in any direction. Non-slip rubber material on opposing surfaces of each platform provide stability during use. In the Preferred Embodiment, the modular platforms are hollow creating a light-weight but high-strength design for ease of transport. The means of attachment of the side platforms to the center platform can be varied from the use of nuts and bolts, through hook-and-loop techniques, to groove-and-protuberance techniques, the latter allowing the side platforms to be snapped onto the center platform for the purpose of repetitive stepping exercise in a park, a gymnasium or the like and then unsnapped for easy transport home.
