Abstract
Abstract A jogging board is provided of laminated construction utilizing a lower cushioned base member secured to a rigid upper platform member. Desirably, a top nonskid layer is provided so that a jogger will not slip upon the jogging board. Preferably, the bottom-cushioned layer is of the order of 1 to 2 inches of foam rubber, or other suitable elastomeric material, for example. The rigid platform member may, for example, be of 1/2 to 3/4 -inch plywood, and the nonskid upper or top layer may be of carpeting, or other nonskid material. The jogging board of the present invention is portable, and may be placed in an upright position behind a door, or easily stored when not in use. A particularly advantageous and convenient size has been found to be approximately 24 inches by 24 inches and of rectangular configuration.
