Embodiments allow the application of a settable and/or a programmable resistance to a trainee's leg Drive Phase and/or Recovery Phase while walking or running over extended or infinite distances. Multiple mechanical or electrical feedback loops or combinations of both to monitor the applied resistance to the Trainee by the tether or tethers and then control the amount of breaking (drag) or propulsion created by the Mobile training module during the acceleration and constant speed training phases to accurately generate, control and transfer resistance through the elastic tethers to the Trainee. Embodiments apply multiple, non-varying loads or programmable loads to multiple body parts of a trainee where applied resistance can be manipulated to both increase or decrease over distance as desired by trainee while the trainee is walking, running or sprinting over any distance.

A multifunctional arm cranking exerciser includes an omnidirectional support bracket assembly, which comprises a five-way bracket mounted to a top thereof and having a left side to which a left arm exercising device is mounted and a right side to which a right arm exercising device is mounted. Also mounted on the five-way bracket are a damping adjustment device and a quick release pin device. The quick release pin device allows for quick coupling and positioning of left and right arm cranks of the left and right arm exercising devices at an angular difference of 0 degree or 180 degrees and also allows for quick release and decoupling of the left and right arm exercising devices to be independent of each other. The damping adjustment device adjusts and regulates a level of damping for achieving an effect of efficient exercising.

A frame lifting mechanism includes a base, a motor, a lead screw, a sliding member, a lifting member and a supporting shaft. The motor is connected to the lead screw, and the lead screw is fastened onto a transmission tube, allowing the transmission tube to move forward and backward while being driven by the lead screw. The sliding member is installed on a sliding track arranged on the base and connected to the transmission tube, allowing the sliding base to actuate with the transmission tube synchronously. A rear end of the lifting base is pivotally attached onto the base for support, and the supporting member uses its two top and bottom ends to be pivotally attached onto the lifting member and the sliding member respectively, allowing the supporting shaft to utilize the movement of the sliding member to drive the lifting member to move upward and downward.

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 is comprised of at least two pairs of weighted sliders for the hands and feet of a user, wherein each slider is comprised of a track ball that allows each slider to slide along a surface such as the ground. Each slider is further comprised of a plurality of controls to allow a user to lock the track ball in place to make each slider immobile, and may also be comprised of a control that allows a user to select the intensity of the exercise being performed with the device.

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 exercise apparatus comprises a platform having a front roller, a rear roller and an endless belt mounted around the front roller and the rear roller for allowing a user to perform a first exercise type of a relatively lower resistance or a second exercise type of a relatively higher resistance. A front frame is mounted at a front side of the platform and has at least one holding portion adapted to be grasped by the user. One or more control interfaces controls the first exercise type and the second exercise type.

An exercise device with a crank housing supporting a pedal crank having a pair of opposing pedals that are pivotally mounted to the pedal crank. A first strut extends from the crank housing and is jointed to a second strut by a coupling that selectively allows the struts to rotate relative to each other so that the device may be folded into a planar configuration or extended and locked into place for use of the pedal crank. A cross-member is positioned at the end of each strut to form legs for supporting the pedal crank in an upright position. A strap may be coupled to one of the pair of legs for additionally securing the exercise device to an airline seat. A tensioner is associated with the crank housing for selectively increasing and decreasing the force needed to turn the pedal crank.

An apparatus for performing abdominal exercises, the apparatus comprising a frame (10) for providing a stable base for operation of the apparatus, a seat (14) for a user to rest onto, a resistance adjustment means (20) for adjusting level of resistance for operation of the apparatus and a joint mechanism (22) for bearing loads and providing rotational movement, wherein the resistance adjustment means (20) is operable to resist movement of the joint mechanism (22) located at centre point of the frame (10), characterized in that an arm (16) connected to the joint mechanism (22) located at centre point of the frame (10) is rotatable at centre point of the frame (10) by means of the joint mechanism (22) and the seat (14) is linearly connected to the arm (16) and is linearly traversable about the arm (16) and the seat (14) is further rotatably connected to the arm (16).
