A durable and impact-resistant exercise apparatus that is portable, modular, stackable, and weight-adjustable to allow a user to perform a variety of isolated lower body, core, and upper body resistance training exercises as well as full-body strength training exercises to improve the fitness of a user. The exercise apparatus is configured both as a platform for supporting the user during a first plurality of exercises as well as a weighted body for being lifted or moved by the user during a second plurality of exercises.

In some embodiments, systems and methods provide a customer controlled cart workout. Some systems, comprise: a cart coordination control circuit; a shopping cart comprising a cart control system, a wireless transceiver and a resistance modification system configured to adjust a resistance level corresponding to different amounts of force to be applied in physically moving the cart along a surface; wherein the cart coordination control circuit is configured to: associate the shopping cart with a first identified customer; wirelessly communicate with a first user interface unit associated with the first customer; receive, through a cart resistance control software application (APP) operated on the first user interface unit, a resistance control instruction specifying a modification to the resistance level; and communicate a resistance adjustment instruction to the cart control system causing the resistance modification system to adjust the resistance level applied to the shopping cart.

An exercise sled (10) for performing a core strengthening exercise routine has a load bearing body (12) with a bottom (14) configured to slide on a ground surface by pushing or pulling by a person performing the exercise routine, a front end which has wall portions (24, 26) for receiving the hands, knees or feet of the person, a rear end which has wall portions (28) for receiving the feet of the person, an intermediate region (20) which has an elevated portion (30) separating a first ramp portion (32) from a second ramp portion (34). Each of the first and second ramp portions has a forward facing ramp surface (36) and a rearward facing ramp surface (38). A first open recess (40, 42) is located between the wall portions at the front end and the forward facing ramp surfaces. A second open recess (44) is located between the wall portions at the rear end and the rearward facing ramp surfaces.

A dumbbell used as a weight training device during a weight training or exercise program. Ball bearing wheels are used to allow user to accomplish most chest workouts with pushup form flies, and acting as pushup stands, ILIFTS allow deeper pushups. The dumbbell includes a gripping handle and a pair housing to secure weight plates inside. The provided handle is capable in rotating and the main advantage of the invention, there is disassembly is not required to move from one to another workout without any difficulties. The whole device is made from stainless steel, ball bearing wheels, and rubber cushion grip.

A bowl section is connected to a support ring, which has a plurality of wheels attached to its lower surface. A user may put his or her feet into the bowl section and move the entire device for exercise. The device moves along the floor or other surface using its plurality of wheels. Resistance may be increased by changing the resistance of the wheels, adding weights to the device, filling a hollow portion of the support ring with water or sand, or attaching an elastic resistance band to the device.

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.

There is provided an exercise machine. The machine includes an upright mounting assembly having a top and a bottom spaced-apart from the top. The machine includes a seat operatively connected to the mounting assembly. The machine includes a first pair of space-apart pulley assemblies rotatably mounted adjacent to the top of the mounting assembly. The machine includes a second pair of spaced-apart pulley assemblies rotatably mounted adjacent to the bottom of the mounting assembly. The machine includes a plurality of exercise resistance cables connected at proximal end portions to the mounting assembly and extending around and outward from the pulley assemblies.

A device including a first member for supporting a user; and a second member, attached to the first member, including a counterbalance portion. The first member and the second member are each moveable, and operable to slide with respect to each other in opposite directions, between a first position and a second position. The device can be operable such that between the first and second positions, the combined center of mass of the device and its user remains substantially fixed. This serves to reduce the extent of forces and vibrations generated by use of the device on the object to which the device is located.

Disclosed herein is a rehabilitation exercise apparatus for the spine and knees. The rehabilitation exercise apparatus includes: a body member (110) configured such that moving wheels (115) are installed at bottoms of a pair of vertical frames (111, and 112) spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance; a load-support member (130) coupled to the pair of vertical frames (111 and 112) in a height-adjustable manner, and coupled to the vertical frames (111 and 112); and a weight member (150) installed on one side of the lower portion of the body member (110) so that weights corresponding to the weight of the user's upper body can be transmitted to the load support member (130) as the load support member (130) is rotated by a predetermined angle. Accordingly, a user can take rehabilitation exercise while walking with the armpits, arms, or shoulders supported on the load support member (130).

A Torso Exercise Apparatus that stabilizes the pelvic area to enhance effectiveness of upper body and torso motions when exercising with a means of resistance. An anterior pelvic apparatus comprising anterior pelvic pads and a posterior pelvic apparatus comprising posterior pelvic pads can be adjusted to reduce a compression distance therebetween and compress a pelvic area. Additional torso pads can be utilized to stabilize the upper body. The anterior and posterior pelvic apparatuses can be operably engaged with a rail that allows for optimization of a range of motion relative to the means of resistance.
