The exercising device preferably has a handle with a proximal end and a distal end and a swing arm having a first end and a second end. The proximal end of the handle is rotatably connected to the first end of the swing arm, allowing the swing arm to rotate around the proximal end of the handle in a “clock-hand” fashion. A connecting shaft and swing arm stopper prevent the swing arm and handle from becoming separated during use. The exercising device may further have a weight member positioned in a weight member recess located close to the second end of the swing arm. The weight member increases the difficulty of using the exercise device and is removably attached to the swing arm. A safety sleeve can fit over the weight member recess to prevent the weight member from dislodging during use.

An adjustable weight kettlebell which allows a user to easily adjust the overall weight. The kettlebell includes a handle, a grasping hole, a central shaft, a locking mechanism, a stopper plate, a shaft-receiving tube, a locking collar, and an at least one weight plate. The grasping hole traverses through the handle. The shaft-receiving tube is perimetrically connected to the handle, perpendicular to the grasping hole. The central shaft is concentrically attached within the shaft-receiving tube by the locking mechanism, wherein the locking mechanism is mechanically integrated between the shaft-receiving tube and the central shaft. The central shaft retains and support the weight plate. The central shaft traverses through a mounting hole of the weight plate. The stopper plate is normally connected to the central shaft, opposite the handle, to retain the weight plate. The locking collar secures the weight plate in place and is slidably engaged to the central shaft.

An abdominal exercise apparatus can include a track, at least one rolling member, a cart, and a base. The track can extend between first and second ends. The rolling member can be moveable along the track. The cart can support the rolling member for the movement along the track and be grasped by the user during exercise. The base can be engaged proximate to the first end and have a surface configured to receive the knees of the user during exercise. The second end can be pivotally movable about the base over an arcuate range by the user while exercising during the rectilinear and rolling movement along the track by the at least one rolling member. The apparatus can also include a structure such as a helical spring for resisting pivotal movement that is elastically deformable.

Apparatus (60) for supporting a subject (2) in an inverted state comprises a ground engaging plinth (8) and a support platform (12) pivotally coupled to the plinth (8) about a first pivot axis (15) so that the support platform (12) is pivotal between a first state with a subject (2) in a supine state on the support platform (12) and a second state with the subject (2) inverted on the support platform (12). The subject is supported in the inverted state on the support platform (12) by shoulder engaging elements (24), and is secured to the support platform (12) by a torso strap (35). A foot engageable element (77) connected to a weight carrying bar (84) through connecting members (79,82) extending through an elongated slot (80) in the support platform (12) allows leg and abdominal muscles to be exercised by urging the foot engageable element (77) in the direction of the arrow A against weights (85) carried on the weight carrying bar (84). A carrier element (81) slideable on a guide bar (83) guides the foot engageable element (77). Handgrips (86) are connected by steel cables (87) around pulleys (88,89,90,91) to the weight carrying bar (84) for facilitating exercising of arm, shoulder, chest and back muscles.

In accordance with the invention, a uniquely constructed, lightweight calf raise exercise device is provided which is user friendly, portable, and inexpensive—providing athletes with the ability to effectively strengthen leg muscles without going to the gym, which is optimal for the busy lifestyle. The calf raise device generally includes a platform assembly having a length extending between a front side and a rear side, the platform assembly including a first surface extending a segment of the length from the front side and an elevated second surface extending the remainder of the length between the first surface and the rear side, wherein the first surface is configured to support the user's heels during operation and the second surface is configured to support the user's toes during operation and throughout the motion of the calf raise. The calf raise device also includes at least two ankle cuffs configured to receive the ankles of the user wearing the calf raise device and at least two elastic resistance members operably connecting the platform assembly with the at least two ankle cuffs respectively. The elastic resistance members are configured to provide resistance throughout the motion of the calf raise.

The invention relates to a bench, which is designed for performing hip extensions in such a way as to prevent damage to the back of the user, and can be adapted to different sizes. To this end, the bench consists of an H-shaped frame having a middle beam (7) that is slightly shorter than the distance established between the disks (6) of the bar (5) to be lifted, and on which a back rest or seat (14) is provided, comprising height-regulating means, characterized in that the height of the side beams is such that the bar (5) can be rolled over the surface of the beams above the stretched-out body of the user, while the large disks are flush with the ground so as not to limit the range of movement.

An adjustable training apparatus includes a harness that is worn over an upper torso of a person training, and two tensioning devices that are secured to the harness. Each tensioning device includes a cord that extends from the device, with an outer end of the cord being configured to be secured to a body part of the person training. A method of conducting anaerobic resistance training is further disclosed.

A stepper includes a base, a linking rod, two pedals and two mechanisms. The linking rod is disposed on the base. Each of the adjusting mechanism includes a blocking member, an adjusting base and an eccentric member. The blocking member includes a first blocking surface. The adjusting base is disposed on the base. The eccentric member is rotatably disposed on the adjusting base and includes at least two second blocking surfaces. The two second blocking surfaces selectively resist the first blocking surface. When one of the pedals is lowered, one of the first blocking surfaces and one of the second blocking surfaces are inclined to link up one end of the linking rod, and the other end of the linking rod is concentrically rotated, and the other first blocking surface is resisted by the other second blocking surface, thereby rotating and raising the other pedal.

An apparatus comprising a base, support and resistive band to provide consumers a method for conditioning, preventing or rehabilitating injuries from running, sports and fitness activities.

In various exemplary scenarios, some embodiments of the present invention provide a collapsible, user-friendly weighted hip thrust exercise apparatus. Various embodiments of the present invention may consist of a base frame enclosing an exercise space, with an upper body support attached to one end of the frame. The frame may be adjustable in length and/or width in order to accommodate different users. The upper body support may be configured to provide an elevated back rest for the user. In an illustrative example, the upper body support height may be adjustable to accommodate different users. In an exemplary scenario illustrative of various embodiments' usage, a user may sit down in the exercise space enclosed by the frame with the user's upper-back and arms resting on top of the upper body support, placing his or her feet on top of the frame on the other width side. The apparatus may further feature a central resistance band positioned at the user's hip line, coupled to side handles or multiple attachment points, and detent pins to removably lock the apparatus in place for use.
