A stationary exercise equipment resistance regulation device includes a stator holder, an axle, a circuit board, at least one magnetism detection element, a rotary knob, and at least one magnet. When the rotary knob is operated to rotate, a distance between a magnet and the magnetism detection element is changed so as to vary a magnetic force detected by the magnetism detection element to thereby change a magnitude of an induced voltage or generate a rotation turn signal. Based on the induced voltage or the rotation turn signal, a signal processing device identifies a resisting force level and calculates data of one of a resisting force magnitude and wattage that the resistance device applies to the stationary exercise equipment.

A multi-layered composite for performing cardiovascular/pulmonary training comprising a first core layer, the upper surface of which is adapted for frictional contact with a body part of a user of the composite and a lower surface affixed to a second layer adapted for frictional contact with a floor of a venue occupied by the user, and a kit and method of performing cardiovascular/pulmonary conditioning.

A symmetric upright rotating disc exercise machine includes a base unit and two upright rotating disc units. Each upright rotating disc unit includes a rotating shaft, an upright disc, and a grip. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the base unit in a horizontal direction. The upright disc is mounted to the rotating shaft. The upright discs of the two upright rotating disc units are arranged to face each other. The two upright rotating disc units are separated from each other by a distance in the horizontal direction to form an operation space. The grip is mounted to the upright disc and located in the operation space.

A stair exerciser apparatus includes a frame having a pair of inclined supports, a drive mechanism, and a plurality of stairs coupled to the drive mechanism for traveling around the pair of inclined supports. The driving mechanism has an upper shaft, a lower shaft and at least one drive chain mounted around the upper shaft and the lower shaft. A clutch mechanism is coupled to the upper shaft or the lower shaft of the drive mechanism. A flywheel is operationally coupled to the clutch mechanism, where the clutch mechanism couples the motion of the stairs to the rotation of the flywheel when the stairs are driven in a downward direction, and where the clutch mechanism decouples the motion of the stairs from the rotation of the flywheel when the stairs cease to be driven in the downward direction.

A brake controller for spinner bikes has a frame body engaging a pair of connecting pieces, a shaft engaging a first block through a top end thereof and a second block through a bottom end thereof, and a magnetic encoder that has a PCB with coding circuit for detecting rotation of a magnet disposed under the second block. Thereby the brake controller controls two kinds of braking forces by a single button for spinner bikes.

An exercise device comprising; a platform, a first limb attachment means, a first extendable cord attached to the first limb attachment means, the first extendable cord being at least partially located within the platform, and a tensioning means within the platform, wherein the tensioning means can be adjusted to alter the resistance of the first extendable cord to extension.
