An exercise machine comprises a tension generating device, a translatable arm mount coupled to the tension generating device, an arm coupled to the translatable arm mount, and a cable coupled to the tension generating device via the arm.

A detachable stabilizing support system for use on an exercise machine, such as a functional trainer exercise machine, has adjustable support positions and is capable of being configured between an exercise position and a more compact storage position.

Provided herein is a hoop spring assembly for use in a mat connection system of a trampoline, in which the hoop spring assembly includes a pair of hoop portions hingedly connected by a pair of laterally positioned hinge members and a resilient member, such as an elastic band or coil spring, operably connected to each of the hinge members and extending therebetween. Mat connection systems and trampolines including such a hoop spring assembly are also provided.

A portable balancing device is formed from a pair of modules connected by a width-adjusting mechanism. Each module may also be referred to as half of the pair of modules. Each module is formed from an upper platform and a lower platform. The upper and lower platforms are separated by compressible elements that deform under a user's weight.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm, a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and first arm configured to cooperatively define a recess. The muscle exercise device also includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm, and a wireless transmitter disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, wherein the wireless transmitter is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.

An exercise device may include: a first element having a longitudinal center axis; a second element having a first end movably connected to the first element via a connection device; and a second, free, end; and a pre-tensioned force resistance device connected to the first or second elements. The exercising device may be configured to be in an initial state, in which the second end is provided with a first distance (Di) from the longitudinal center axis. The exercising device may be configured to be in a compressed state, in which the second end is provided with a second distance (Dc) from the longitudinal center axis, where the second distance (Dc) is shorter than the first distance (Di). The pre-tensioned force resistance device may be configured to force the second end of the second element towards the initial state.

An exercise device includes a first anchor tube, a first flex tube, a first resistance coupler, and a first stiffener. The first anchor tube is configured to be anchored between two substantially fixed surfaces. The first flex tube is configured to provide resistance against and in response to manual flexing of the first flex tube. The first resistance coupler comprises a resilient material and is configured to attach the first flex tube to the first anchor tube. The first resistance coupler is made from a resilient material that provides resistance against and in response to manual manipulation of the first anchor tube and the first flex tube relative to each other. The first stiffener rod is sized to be inserted within the first flex tube to increase resistance required for manual manipulation.

Exercise equipment for at least pulling and pushing exercises comprises an elastic tubular band covered by a flexible material covering, for example, of nylon which is threaded through an O-ring grommet and holes in first and second straps threaded through first and second handles proximate to one another when gripped by a user. The exercise equipment may be used with a safety door attachment that comprises a safety loop for looping around a door handle or knob. The safety loop is stitched to a loop threaded through a plastic spindle of a foam door stop used on one side of a closed door. A further loop extends from the plastic spindle to the other closed side of the door and is adapted to receive the exercise equipment through the further loop. A series of isometric pulling and pushing exercises, trunk rotation among other exercises are disclosed and various accessories which may be used for warm up, relieving pain and for exercise including a D-ring embodiment for use with known exercise equipment.

An adjustable archery training bow assembly includes a single resistance element and an adjustment mechanism that can be actuated by a user to vary the tension level in the resistance element for training purposes. The training bow also includes an integrated laser sight that allows the user to precisely aim at a target. The adjustable archery training bow is used to enhance the user's skills, such as his/her strength, stability and accuracy in delivering an arrow fired from a real, non-training bow to the target.

A trampoline including: a frame adapted to rest on the ground or be mounted on a plurality of spaced apart legs; a plurality of spaced apart flexible and resilient plates extending upwards from said frame and connected thereto against relative movement therebetween; and a jumping mat operatively connected to said plates above said frame for movement with said plates upon a person jumping thereon.
