A fitness and rehabilitation aid is provided comprising a weighted loading head for achieving a desired centrifugal force and a handle configured for grasping by a user. The weighted loading head and the handle are interconnected by a flexible connecting component. A length of the flexible connecting component between the weighted loading head and the handle is at least 600 mm. In use, the user grasps the handle and rotates the fitness and rehabilitation aid in a particular pattern, creating the desired centrifugal force to stimulate desired muscle parts of the user.

The present invention relates to a training device (10) for training the arm muscles and muscle groups associated therewith, comprising: at least one flywheel mass member carrier (1) with at least one flywheel mass member guide (1a) for guiding at least one flywheel mass member (2) along at least one elliptical path deviating from a circular shape or at least one elliptical path segment, wherein the flywheel mass member guide (1a) forms a guide of the at least one flywheel mass member (2) extending beyond a semi-ellipse and spans a flywheel mass member guide plane (y, z) in the radial direction of the elliptical path or the elliptical path segment, and at least one handle member (6) with a handle axis (6a) to be encompassed for gripping, wherein the handle member (6) is arranged in the handle axis (6a) at least sectionally in a handle plane (6b) which extends perpendicular to the flywheel mass member guide plane (y, z) and which does not intersect the elliptical path or the elliptical path segment.

The present invention provides a resistance training and rehabilitation device. The device includes a headband strap, a rigid outer ring, and a plurality of elastomeric cords that provide resistance when a user manipulates the device with any one of the user's body parts to be exercised. When the user of the device manually engages the device and motions his or her body part being exercised, resistance is created that applies force causing exertion of the user's muscles. The device offers strength and range of motion exercise for various muscles of the user's body.
