Dynamic neck muscle exerciser
The present invention may be embodied as a system or method for dynamically exercising a user's neck muscles. The system includes a headset, an arm attached thereto, a weight, and at least one motor to move the weight, for example, about the arm. The weight may be mounted eccentrically on a radial track that is rotatable by one motor and moved linearly by another motor. The direction of the arm, the distance between an apex of the headset and the weight, the eccentricity of the weight on the axis, and the speed of rotation of the motor are all parameters that can be adjusted by the caregiver or user, either manually or via controlling software.

DEVICE FOR REDUCING ANTERIOR PELVIC TILT AND A METHOD FOR ITS USE
An exercise device and a method for its use to aid in the correction of Anterior pelvic tilt. A base has an upper support and a lower support. The base device is strapped around a user’s stomach and connected to a rope. The rope passes through the user’s legs and is attached to a weight holder behind the user. As the user walks forward, the weight holder is dragged along the floor and the force of the weights on the weight holder pressed the base against the user’s stomach and aids in proper alignment of the pelvic region.

U-SHAPED DUMBBELL AND ERGONOMIC KETTLEBELL
A dumbbell has a left weight, a right weight, and an arched handle connected to the tops of the weights. In preferred embodiments, the bottoms of the weights are flat, the weights are at least as wide as they are tall, and the weights are parallel to each other. This configuration combines the advantages of a dumbbell and a kettlebell. The arched handle enables kettlebell-like arm raises, while the dumbbell configuration keeps the weights from pressing into the wrist. The arched handle also enables stable placement of the dumbbell over legs, knees, elbows, and ankles.

ABDOMINAL EXERCISE DEVICE
An abdominal exercise device includes a frame comprising top, middle, and bottom frame sections. The middle frame section has a curved shape for creating a teeter-totter movement during exercise. The device includes a headrest connected to the bottom frame section, a plurality of connectors for connecting elastic bands to the frame, and an elastic band connected to at least two connectors. The two ends of the elastic band are connected to two straps. The device creates the teeter-totter movement to exercise the abdominal muscles in response to a person lying down in supine position with the back of the head on the headrest and the feet in the two straps, the person applying a downward pressure with the feet to the straps to move the headrest from a resting position, and the person removing the downward pressure to allow the headrest to go back to the resting position.
ERGONOMIC HELD WEIGHT UNIT AND METHOD OF USE
Hand held weight units of light weight manufactured as a solid unit, a shell unit with core insert combinations or modular units with interlocking ends. Shell units with core inserts and modular interlocking units allow for the changing of held weight by inserting or removing inserts or by locking or unlocking of modular weight unit sets creating varying held weight. The weight units are primarily used with upper body exercises during aerobic exercises in the home, outdoors, or in a gym setting such as walking or running to vary the intensity of workout during use.
