The privacy and often long duration of an elevator ride offers an excellent opportunity to perform aerobic exercises. This is especially so, knowing you missed an excellent opportunity to climb some stairs. Personally, I like to use my private time while descending in an elevator to blast my quads
with a set of squats.
The great thing about performing squats in an elevator is that the forces of acceleration and deceleration add a resistance and assistance component to the exercise. However, this is only so when the elevator accelerates and decelerates. So, unfortunately, this actually pretty cool feeling is only felt when the lift stops at or leaves a floor.
The Exercise Elevator allows a rider at off peak hours, perhaps after swiping an access card, to choose to stop at every floor without the doors opening to add the extraordinary effects of acceleration or deceleration to their daily quad blasting routine.

But what about the smell? (From the exercising, not from what the squatting might mean) |

I bet if you could lock off an elevator for personal use, it would get used...personally. |

The Exervator can be used for other exercises aswell. Chinups, pushups, sit ups. Really, any that could benefit from vertical movement. Remember this isnt a lift or an elevator, this is an Exervator. |

I think im going to rewrite this. |

I beg you, leave in the references to quad-blasting. Try to work it into every single sentence, if you can. |

Gymnasiums of the future will feature 7x7 foot squarish boxes suspended from a single huge spring that squeaks torturously as you squat. |
