Disclosed herein is a resistance exercise device and methods of using the same. In one embodiment, a resistance exercise device is disclosed comprising a quarter-wheel, a means for attaching resistance to said quarter-wheel, a support means attached to the axis of the quarter-wheel, whereby a user can perform core exercise while moving in a direction parallel to the line of resistance.

A treadmill includes a base frame, a treadmill belt, a plurality of bearing wheels, a bearing frame, and a limiting frame. The treadmill belt is rotatably installed on the base frame. The bearing wheel is mounted on an inner surface of the treadmill belt. Each bearing wheel is inclined with respect to a horizontal plane, and the bearing frame and the limiting frame are both mounted on the base frame. The bearing frame supports the bearing wheels of the upper section of the treadmill belt. The limiting frame is disposed on one side of the bearing wheel and abuts the bearing wheel. The treadmill has the advantages that the friction between the limiting frame and the bearing wheels can be reduced and can avoid sudden stop or sticking.

A bicycle trainer, including a base, permitting fore and aft movement and a frame, supported by the base. Also, a seat and a handlebar assembly and a pedaling assembly is supported by the frame. The handlebar assembly is rotatably engaged to the frame, and is supported by a tongue, that is hinged to the base so as to permit horizontal rotation, and the handlebar assembly is attached to the tongue at a position removed from the hinge. Turning the handlebars causes the frame to move laterally.

A therapeutic and exercise device includes a frame; a hand crank coupled to the frame which is rotatably movable by a user, the hand crank coupled to a vertically oriented rail such that the hand crank is adjustable in a vertical plane fore and aft relative to a support surface for the therapeutic and exercise device; a foot crank coupled to the frame which is rotatably movable by the user, the foot crank coupled to a horizontally oriented rail such that the foot crank is adjustable in a horizontal plane; and a brake coupled to the frame and to at least one of the hand crank or the foot crank, the brake configured to selectively apply a braking force to said at least one of the hand crank or the foot crank to resist rotational movement of the at least one of the hand crank or the foot crank.

An exercise apparatus includes a rope wrapped around a spindle having a one-way clutch rotatably mounted on a driveshaft. The driveshaft is driven by a motor controlled by a motor controller. The controller is capable of driving and braking the motor such that the driving torque and the braking torque can be set at different values to ensure the safety of the apparatus and user.

An exercise apparatus includes a rope wrapped around a spindle driven by a motor. A controller is capable of applying a brake when power loss is detected to ensure the safety of the apparatus and user.

A manually powered treadmill includes a front rotatable element and a rear rotatable element coupled to a frame; a bearing assembly at least partially supporting one of the front or rear rotatable elements; and a running belt disposed about the front and rear rotatable elements. The bearing assembly includes a predefined low viscosity bearing fluid. The running belt defines a non-planar running surface. The running belt includes a first endless belt and a plurality of slats, each slat having a first side and a second side and coupled to the first endless belt. Each slat in the plurality of slats defines at least one aperture, and the at least one aperture is structured to receive a fastener to facilitate coupling to the first endless belt.

A golf swing training device generally guides and trains a golf swing with a particular focus on weight transfers and hip rotations throughout the golf swing. The device includes a baseboard that provides a bottom fulcrum which aids an athlete in training a correct weight distribution throughout the golf swing. A pedal assembly, which includes a front pedal and a back pedal (corresponding to front/back feet), engages with a top fulcrum to aid the athlete in training correct hip rotation throughout the golf swing.

Various embodiments related to a recumbent therapeutic and exercise device are provided herein. The recumbent therapeutic and exercise device includes a frame; a hand crank system coupled to the frame, the hand crank system including a hand crank rotatable by a user, wherein the hand crank is movable in a substantially vertical plane closer to and further from a support surface for the frame; and a foot crank system coupled to the frame, the foot crank system including a foot crank rotatable by the user, wherein the foot crank is movable in a substantially horizontal plane relative to the support surface for the fame.
