Each leg of the first pair of legs extending at an oblique angle from the lower frame member in a deployed position configured to support the folding exercise bike on a surface and each leg of the second pair of legs extending from lower frame member at an oblique angle in the deployed position.

An exercise machine includes a shaft configured to rotate about an axis; a spool configured to receive a strap and drive rotation of the shaft about the axis in response to movement of the strap; a flywheel configured to rotate about the axis; one or more conductive coils arranged to generate magnetic fields that induce eddy currents in the flywheel; a clutch configured to engage and disengage transmission of torque between the spool and the flywheel; and a spring arranged around the axis, the spring configured to exert a return torque on the spool about the axis in response to rotation of the shaft.

Apparatus for bi-directional ankle exercise movements has a main-frame with a seat and upwardly extending columns at either side to support a “U” shaped sub-frame, mounted so that it pivots about a horizontal axis passing very nearly through the ankles of a seated user and interconnecting linkages simultaneously enforcing ankle inversion, with plantarflexion and then ankle eversion, with dorsiflexion, about perpendicularly intersecting axes, while resisting such movements, so as to provide bidirectional ankle exercises according to a progressive resistance program, thus strengthening the ankle muscle groups for enhanced balance and dynamic stability.

The present invention relates generally to the field of exercise equipment. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved full body workout device that is designed to allow a user to exercise every muscle in the body. The device comprises at least two pairs of weighted sliders for the hands and feet of a user, wherein each slider comprises a track ball that allows each slider to slide along a surface such as the ground. Each slider is further comprises plurality of controls to allow the user to lock the track ball in place to make each slider immobile, and may also comprise a control that allows a user to select the intensity of the exercise being performed with the device.

An exercise assembly structured to perform different rowing routines characterized different rowing motions. A resistance device is movable within a chamber and is cooperatively structured therewith to resist such movement. A drive assembly includes two drive sections each independently connected in driving relation to said resistance device. A connector structure includes two connector members each attached to a handle and connected in driving relation to a different one of said drive sections. The handle is selectively movable through the plurality of different rowing motions, at least one of which results in the two drive sections concurrently driving the resistance member and being concurrently driven by the two connector members. At least one other rowing motion of the handle is defined by each drive section alternately driving the resistance member and being alternately driven by interconnected ones of said connector members.

An exercise device for the inner and outer thighs is discloses that includes a first arm and a second arm that extend from a central rod to allow for pivotal movement about the rod, wherein the first arm and said second arm further include a first and second plates and the plates are positioned on the proximal end of the arms, a resistance element is positioned between the first and second plates, and the arms further include a leg engagement elements on the distal ends of the arms, which provide lateral surfaces on opposite sides that are adapted to be engaged by both inner and outer sides of a human leg and, the device includes a movable flange member attached to the rod that is adapted to impose a variable axial force driving the second plate towards the first plate and compressing the resistance element, thereby creating a resistance to the rotation of said arms with respect to one another.

An exercise machine, such as indoor cycle, including a multi-function wheel brake actuator. A braking force is induced on a wheel, such as through eddy currents or frictionally, by finely or coarsely adjusting the brake actuator. The brake actuator may thus include a knob whereby a user may finely adjust the braking force on the wheel and a lever to actuate interval settings whereby the brake actuator provides set positions of braking resistance. The exercise machine may further include a pop-pin assembly with an over-center cam mechanism to clamp members together. The pop-pin assembly also includes a fine adjustment to adjust the clamping force. So, for example, the seat stem may be clamped to the seat tube, or the handlebar stem clamped to the head tube, with a lever actuating the over center mechanism.

A fitness machine with continuously variable magnetic-controlled damping force and combined with a manual emergency brake includes a fitness bike, a console, a magnetically controlled damping device and a resistance and brake control device. The fitness bike generates and supplies power to the console, magnetically controlled damping device and resistance and brake control device by a rotating flywheel. The magnetically controlled damping device produces continuously variable electromagnetic damping force to the flywheel. The resistance and brake control device allows a user to operate in two different modes of the continuously variable electrically controlled brake and manual emergency brake, and the function of the continuously variable electrically controlled brake may control the flywheel to produce continuously variable electromagnetic damping, so as to achieve the results of generating and supplying the required electric power, providing the continuously variable controlled damping force of the fitness bike, and combining a gradual-change brake and a multifunctional brake.

A modular resistance force system includes an axle configured to be rotatable around a rotational axis and one or more resistance mechanisms. Each of the one or more resistance mechanisms includes a resistance element disposed about a portion of the axle, a resistance element housing configured to house the resistance element and a resistance substance disposed between the resistance element and the resistance element housing. Either the resistance element or the resistance element housing is selectively engaged to rotate with the axle. A resistance between the resistance element and the resistance substance causes a force to be applied to the axle when the resistance element and the resistance element housing move relative to each other.
