A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a users limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.

An article of manufacture providing an exercise device for work-out with a stroller according to the present invention includes the stroller having a frame having a front portion and a rear portion, a front wheel assembly coupled to the front portion of the frame, a pair of rear wheels coupled to the rear portion of the frame and a handle coupled to the rear portion of the frame above the pair of rear wheels and a plurality of barbells coupled across the stroller for supporting removable weights on both ends of the barbells. A first barbell coupled across the rear portion of the frame between the pair of rear wheels and the handle. A second barbell coupled across front wheel assembly. A third barbell coupled across the handle.

A selectively weighted fitness slider includes a base, an interior space within the base, an inner wall in the interior space that extends from the base, and a top part that is releasably attached to the base. A locking band encircles the base and top part to releasably secure the base and top part together. The inner wall releasably secures a weight within the interior space. The weight can be secured by the inner wall, which is configured to secure the weight via an inside surface of the inner wall or an outside surface of the inner wall. The fitness slider may have a first weight inside the inner wall, a second weight outside of the inner wall, and a third weight surrounding the second weight. The fitness slider allows a person to add different weight combinations to adjust the resistance of the fitness slider and meet his/hers individual needs.

A apparatus or system defined by a handheld exercise device that includes a weighted body; a handle arranged along a radial axis of the weighted body; and a connector that creates at least one connection between each radially distal end of the handle and a component of the weighted body. The handheld exercise device, in use, minimizes one or more peak forces and rotational inertia acting on a forearm of a user actively engaging the handheld exercise device in motion.

A exercise roller device including a center roller portion provided with shaped end roller portions, and the center roller portion provided with a centered circumferential groove. A method of making the exercise roller device.

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

An exercise device having a sled or wheelbarrow configuration comprises a frame that is pushed across a support surface by a user. The frame carries a wheel that movably supports the frame in the wheelbarrow configuration and at least one skid that movably supports the frame in the skid configuration. A pair of handles is selectively repositionable on the frame from a vertical orientation used in the sled configuration and a horizontal orientation used in the wheelbarrow configuration to quickly and easily convert the device between its different configurations. The frame has a carriage that supports a plurality of exercise weight members with the carriage being movable in a fore-and-aft direction on the frame for changing the effort required from the user to push the frame.

A weight training sled and wall hanging bracket set for supporting the weight training sled in an elevated vertical stowage position. The push handles on the sled are pivotable as a unit about a laterally extending pivot axis as between an upward use position and a lowered stowage position extending towards the second longitudinal end of the chassis. The wall hanging bracket set includes an upper bracket for attachment to a vertical surface and supportively contact a second longitudinal end of the sled at two laterally spaced contact points, and a lower bracket for attachment to the vertical surface and supportively contact a first longitudinal end of the sled at a single contact point.

A weight training sled (100) characterized by one or more of (A) rotatable wheels (130) in contact with ground, (B) curvilinear push handles (140) with comfortably spaced, and inwardly and/or downwardly angled hand grips (143), and (C) an elevated tow hook (160).

A portable exercise ball-and-stick apparatus includes a base having an upper surface with a centrally-located concave spherical region located within the upper surface, a ball able to be located in the centrally-located concave spherical region of the base and a rod affixed to the ball for freely moving the ball within the centrally-located concave spherical region of the base. Preferably, the includes an additional concave spherical region having a spike centrally located in the additional concave spherical region with the spike extending vertically from a central region of the additional concave spherical region for receiving in a complementary slot situated longitudinally and on a side of the opposite from which the rod extends from said ball for when the exercise apparatus is not being used. Preferably, the rod includes a hand grip at the end of the rod distal to the ball with the hand grip being able to rotate or swivel relative to the rod.
