A locking device for an exercise system may include at least one moveable assembly that is in communication with a resistance mechanism. The locking device has an actuating device for selectively engaging the locking device, a locking member having a contact portion, wherein the contact portion of the locking member is not in contact with the resistance mechanism of the exercise system when the actuating device is in a first position, thereby allowing movement of the at least one moveable assembly, and wherein the contact portion of the locking member is in contact with the resistance mechanism of the exercise system when the actuating device is in a second position, thereby preventing movement of the at least one moveable assembly.

An elliptical exercise device has a frame and guide link pivotally attached thereto. A foot support link is pivotally connected to a lower attachment point of each guide link so that when the guide links pivot relative to the frame, foot receiving areas of the foot support links move in a path of travel having a horizontal component of motion. A cam drive has cams supported for rotation about an axis of rotation and pivoting arms each engaging one of the cams such that rotation of the cams causes movement of the pivoting arms. Flexible elements couple the foot support links to the pivoting arms such that rotation of the cams moves the foot receiving areas of the respective foot support links in a path of travel having a vertical component of motion.

An exercise device; the exercise device includes a flexible strap and anchor. The exercise device is used for exercising gluteal muscles of the user and provides users with an exercise tool used to complete different types of squat exercises with ease and convenience in the comfort of their own home.

A portable exercise system that can be attached to the uprights on any commonly available training rig, squat stand, or power rack, and for resistance can use any attachable weight. The system includes an upper pulley assembly, a lower pulley assembly and an anchor assembly. The anchor assembly utilizes a wedge and block to set the cable length and is adapted to attach the weights. The upper pulley assembly includes pulleys to keep the cable aligned and the resistance coming from above. The lower pulley assembly could be hinged for an additional degree of freedom. The cable runs through the lower pulleys, to the upper pulleys, and down to the anchor and weights. The other end of the cable has a fixed loop for attaching a handle for the user.

A portable exercise device includes a first body and a second body. The exercise device also includes a support structure pivotably connecting the first and second bodies. The support structure is configured to move between an engaged position and a disengaged position. The device also includes a resistance mechanism configured to resist movement of the first and second bodies toward one another when the support structure is in the engaged position. When the support structure is in the engaged position, the first body is positioned substantially parallel to the second body such that in a first open, in-use configuration of the device, the first body has a first neutral position relative to a pivot axis and in a second open, in-use configuration of the device, the second body has a second neutral position relative to the pivot axis.

An exercise rod for supporting an exercise elastic rope includes a supporting member rotatably sleeved on the exercise rod. The periphery of the supporting member is provided with an annular positioning groove for cooperating with a hook. An end of the exercise rod is detachably provided with a blocking member configured to prevent the supporting member from separation, a retractable blocking button is arranged adjacent to the end of the exercise rod, and the supporting member is limited between the blocking button and the blocking member. The supporting member is rotatably sleeved on the exercise rod, and the supporting member is provided with a positioning groove matched with the hook. When the hook is subjected to force, the relative movement between the hook and the supporting member is transformed into the rotation of the supporting member, thereby eliminating the sound caused by friction and collision between parts.

A method of varying a dynamic resistive force during a strength training exercise includes receiving a selection of the strength training exercise from a set of available strength training exercises and obtaining exercise logic for the strength training exercise from computer memory. The exercise logic provides instructions for generating a vector that defines the dynamic resistive force provided at an end effector of a strength training apparatus during the strength training exercise. The method includes determining a real-time geometric arrangement of a plurality of cables coupled to the end effector, generating, based on the real-time geometric arrangement of the plurality of cables and the exercise logic, time-varying operating setpoints for a plurality of actuator assemblies coupled to the plurality of cables, and exerting the dynamic resistive force at the end effector by controlling the plurality of actuator assemblies in accordance with the time-varying operating setpoints.

A symmetric upright rotating disc exercise machine includes a base unit and two upright rotating disc units. Each upright rotating disc unit includes a rotating shaft, an upright disc, and a grip. The rotating shaft is pivotally connected to the base unit in a horizontal direction. The upright disc is mounted to the rotating shaft. The upright discs of the two upright rotating disc units are arranged to face each other. The two upright rotating disc units are separated from each other by a distance in the horizontal direction to form an operation space. The grip is mounted to the upright disc and located in the operation space.

The utility model relates to a fitness belt, which comprises a fixing ring, a pulling belt, pulling rings and belt buckles, the fixing ring is a ring buckle, a unidirectional buckle rod is provided on one side of the ring buckle, and the lower part of the ring buckle has a pulling belt through hole, the pulling belt passes through the pulling belt through hole of the ring buckle and is divided into a left support belt and a right support belt, and the ends of the left support belt and the right support belt away from the fixing ring are provided with a length adjustment structure. The length adjustment structure includes the belt buckle and a collar. The left support belt and the right support belt are hinged to the pulling rings through the belt buckles. The pulling rings have hand grip portions and pedal portions. The effect is to avoid cutting wounds and easy adjustment.

An exercise device of the type including a frame with a first crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a first axis and a second crank assembly rotatably coupled to the frame about a second axis. A control system may be used in communication with the first crank assembly and the second crank assembly, which may provide a synchronous movement of the first crank assembly relative to the second crank assembly. A pedal arm may be provided with a first end pivotally coupled to the first crank assembly and a pedal positioned on a second end. A crank link may be used with one end coupled to the second crank assembly and a second end coupled to the pedal arm. The crank link may be movable on the pedal arm which may provide varying paths of motion of the pedals.
