A storable exercise bench is provided. The exercise bench may include a frame including at least one beam operatively coupled to first and second floor supports and a member operatively coupled with the at least one beam. The exercise bench may be positioned into an operating position in which the first and second floor supports support the at least one beam and the member, and the at least one beam runs generally horizontally in reference to a support surface. The exercise bench may be positioned into a storage position in which the second floor support and the member support the at least one beam and the first floor support, and the at least one beam runs generally vertically in reference to the support surface.

An exercise machine support system for providing increased versatility including inclination or declination of an exercise surface, a reduction in the overall length and width of the exercise machine, and an enhanced user interface which reduces the risk of injury. The exercise machine support system generally includes a cantilevered exercise machine which is adapted to have a variable angle of incline or decline with respect to a horizontal ground surface. The exercise machine will generally include a base and a support which extends between the base and the exercise machine. The upper end of the support is connected to the exercise machine by a first pivot such that the exercise machine pivots about the support. An adjustment device may be utilized to pivot the exercise machine and thus adjust its angle of incline. Various types of adjustment devices are disclosed, including an actuator, ratchet-and-pawl, gears, and cam.

Systems and methods according to embodiments of the present disclosure may provide a fitness deck of cards for managing a workout providing movements and number of repitions.

A hip-stretching device includes a mat having an upper surface. The mat is configured for placement on a support surface to support a back of a subject lying in a supine position on the upper surface of the mat. The hip-stretching device includes first and second pockets associated with the mat. The first and second pockets each have an opening configured to removably receive an inflatable bladder for selectively placing the inflatable bladder in one of the first and second pockets. The first and second pockets each position an inflatable bladder received therein under a hip area of the subject when the subject is lying in the supine position on the upper surface of the mat. Inflation of the inflatable bladder imparts a force to the hip area of the subject to elevate the hip area to provide a hip flexor stretch to the subject.

A wearable anchor having a support base, a locking mechanism, and a securing strap and which can be used to mechanically fix a therapy device a desired position relative to a user while performing desired therapy motions. The support base defines an arcuate body suitable to be placed against the thigh of the user, with the securing strap operating to hold it against the user's thigh. The locking mechanism employs a pair of slots positioned above the support base. In this regard, the locking mechanism provides a securing structure to which the cords can be fastened to, thereby allowing the therapy device to be fixed in place without requiring that the user manually hold the therapy device in place. As such, the user can more easily perform therapy motions which require the that the therapy device be held in place, such as static progressive stretch therapy motions.

A male exercise device uses a band made from a stretch loop material such that a section of hook material is located on the band's upper surface proximate a first end and a cooperating section of loop material is located on the band's lower surface proximate an opposing second end. A pocket depends from the band medially between the first end and the second end. Weighted pellets, such as zinc cooper pellets, are located within the pocket to provide weighting of the device. The weights can be located directly within the pocket and the pocket sealed or held within a satchel, the satchel removably disposed within the pocket.

Example aspects of a stretching apparatus and a method of stretching are disclosed. The stretching apparatus can comprise an elongate support bar defining a bar first end and a bar second end opposite the bar first end; and a neck stretching attachment coupled to the elongate support bar, the neck stretching attachment comprising a head strap, a chin strap, and a bar attachment, wherein each of the head strap and chin strap comprises a flexible, inelastic material, and wherein the elongate support bar engages the bar attachment between the bar first end and the bar second end.

The device and methods disclosed herein allow an individual to create and sustain a differential stretch to the anterior muscles and ligaments of the torso, hips and legs. The device includes a base frame, a vertical member secured to the base frame, a rotational lift lever secured to the vertical member at a pivot point, a lower extremity elevation member secured to the rotational lift lever, and at least one lower extremity attachment device secured to the lower extremity elevation member. In use, the device lifts an individual's legs above the ground, while the person is lying face down, so as to create a stretch in the anterior muscles, fascia, or ligaments. The device has various planes of rotation, allowing for differential stretching in various quadrants of the torso. The device is adjustable in height as well as displacement along a track within the base to accommodate different body types.

Portable exercise incline board devices and methods for exercise and balance fitness that can be easily assembled, disassembled and transported. The incline board can be assembled from a generally rectangular top ice with raised upper surface, along with a pair of right triangle support pieces and a rear vertical piece wherein raised protrusions align into mateable grooves so that the pieces slide and lock together for assembly and slide apart for disassembly.
