Description
The DynaCore® Fitness Training System consists of a U-shaped frame, a removable platform with a mobile device holder, and optional accessories, including handles, floor sliders, and an added resistance system. Through a mobile device app, users can access both a training module that coaches and tracks effective workouts, and a colle action of games designed to deliver effective core muscle workouts and engaging immersive fun.

The core trainer workout is built on planking, but with benefits that take planking to a higher level. The device provides static exercise options for building core stability, dynamic exercises for building core strength, and torsional exercises for functional fitness.

For advanced users, the incorporation of leg movements, twists, and compound rotations offers virtually unlimited exercise variations.

The mobile device holder has been positioned to ensure that users will maintain a healthy position for their head and neck, while shoulder and elbow guides help to keep people in ergonomically proper planking form.

Innovation
The DynaCore® Fitness Trainer elevates planking, known to be one of the most effective core training exercises, to a higher level by solving key problems and adding new dimensions to the range of exercises.

Problems solved include:
-unnecessary stress on wrists, elbows, and shoulders, which are relieved by the ergonomic and comfortable frame design;
-limited exercise angles, releasing users from the restriction of flat and side planks to be able to exercise their core at any angle;
-boredom, the top complaint about planks, is relieved with the incorporation of the mobile device holder and included training and gaming apps.

Added dimensions of exercise include:
-being able to rotate dynamically, exercising your core for strength-building, and raising your heart rate while training;
-adding torsional exercises that "disconnect" hips from shoulders, training the core in ways that the body most frequently functions;
-enabling twisting and compound movements that can't be imitated with other devices;
-incorporating additional resistance through bands or cable machine connections to build explosive power.
-gaming makes exercise fun and competitive, allowing for head-to-head play.

Product Detail
The DynaCore® Fitness Training System will be made of a carbon-reinforced polycarbonate, making it virtually indestructible, yet still flexible enough for the user's comfort. The mobile device holder is made of stretch silicone to accomodate different device sizes without breaking. The mobile device holder can be rotated, engaging at 90-degree intervals to ensure alignment in either landscape or portrait positions.

The frame is a U-shaped design. The outside rim is essentially a semi-circle with flattened tips to help prevent roll-over. The frame is curved in both X and Y planes to provide optimal floor engagement as the user rotates in the device. Ribbing on the frame sides and bottom provides rigidity.

The platform fits flat on top of the frame for easy storage in closets, under beds, or hanging on walls. The frame snaps into place after sliding the posts into the frame receptacles and unsnaps easily by pulling on the wing tabs to release.

Optional handles can be attached to the platform with an easy rotational motion. The handles can be positioned to whatever length best fits the arms of the user. Elbow pads are made of TPU in a honeycomb design to probide maximum comfort.

Specification
The frame and platform come in a single size, which has been tested to suit the majority of the population for shoulder width. Removable pads can be added to the shoulder engagement portion of the frame to further secure narrower-shouldered users in the device during use. The assembled device will weight approximately 9 lbs. The frame, platform, and handles will all be black. The surface will have two finishes: the majority will be a roughened matte finish to absorb wear and tear during use, with accented areas finished in a high gloss to accentuate the curved shape and structure. Branding will be done in a debossed high-gloss finish as well.

Bio
For people wanting to maintain strong, healthy core muscles, the patented DynaCore™ Fitness Trainer is the only simple-to-use and fun core workout device that will allow you to work your entire core – both dynamically and isometrically!
