Wobbly ball
The present invention relates to wobbly balls and exercise coil springs. A wobbly ball may include a non-spherical rigid, hollow ball body formed of two halves, each half comprising an upper ladle or a lower ladle which are welded together along a central seam therebetween, and defining a hollow cavity therein. A spherical inner ball is captured within the hollow cavity of the hollow ball body of the wobbly ball, so that upon movement of the wobbly ball, the inner ball rolls within the cavity, producing a wobbly, eccentric motion. The exercise coil spring may be formed of a single coiled wire, the coiled spring including a central portion where the coiled wire is coiled to a first diameter that is constant. Opposed flared ends are provided ends of the central portion where the coiled wire is progressively coiled from the first diameter to a second diameter, which is greater.
FULL BODY EXERCISE APPARATUS
A portable exercise apparatus utilized for exercising, stretching, and training multiple muscle groups of the body of a user. The apparatus is adapted to be worn about the waist or carried as a bandolier about the user's body. The apparatus has at least one releasably closable pocket and fixation rings for securing and carrying accessories, such as attachable handles, suspension lines, and elastic bands. The apparatus and methods of use provide the user with a plurality of configurations for assisted exercise regimens and the flexibility to exercise anywhere.
Adjustable resistance exercise machine
An adjustable resistance exercise machine for providing variable resistance forces on a pull cable extending from the machine. The adjustable resistance exercise machine generally includes a plurality of power springs that may be selectively engaged using a cam mechanism. By engaging springs with different forces, the resistance may be adjusted incrementally as preferred for performing different exercises. The adjustable resistance exercise machine may be connected to various structures, either below or above an exerciser, to allow the exerciser to choose whether to pull the pull cable up or down during exercise.
Portable full body workout system
Presented is a portable full body work out system for indoor and outdoor uses. The system includes a pair of mounts configurable over an intended surface, a pair of bracket assembles releasably mountable over the mounts, a strap with extending around one or more pulleys of one of the bracket assemblies and operatively connecting to a securing device, a resistance band releasably mountable around a retainer member of one of the bracket assemblies and another coupled to the securing device. The securing device is selectively operated during initial set up to allow the user to adopt to an appropriate position to connect an external exercising accessory to the strap for performing an exercise. The user is able to select the desired resistance for the exercise, or reduce the selected resistance, or combine resistances for even greater resistance by selecting appropriate resistance bands, and/or changing the tension applied on the strap.
Fitness device and exercise method for generating opposing muscle resistance
A fitness device contains a strap, a handle, and a plate. The strap is substantially inelastic and flexible. The plate is substantially rigid. The handle at least partially envelopes the strap. A method of exercising with such a fitness device is also described herein. Other fitness devices and other methods of use are also described herein.
Spherical dynamic resistance device
The spherical dynamic resistance device enables simultaneous strength, core and cardiovascular training. A cavity exists whereby resistance bands are stored. By removing a band and connecting it to the exterior of the device at an attachment point and thereafter attaching the other end of the resistance band to a fixed point a user can engaged device to conduct a full body workout. The cavity can also retain a mass element adding weight thereby customizing the weight of the spherical dynamic resistance device. A serpentine channel associated with the outer portion of the device enables a user to grip the device while engaging hand, arm and core muscles. By gripping the device and through various motions that pull opposite of the resistance band while supporting the spherical dynamic resistance device of various weights, a user is able to attain a full body workout.
Combined training and monitoring device
The present invention relates to a body resistance physical exercise device with monitoring and fitness tracking ties comprising: a) an electrical monitoring element configured to measure information relative to exercise parameters during repetitive motions performed with said device; and b) an elastomeric band adapted to enable the repetitive motions, wherein the resistance of the elastomeric band is capable of being adjusted.
Ski accessory
A portable ski accessory that converts a portable resistance device into a ski-type exercise machine is presented. The ski accessory contains a hanger chassis, a mounting element, a track, a cord, a handle, and a connection element. The hanger chassis contains a cord input portion and a cord output portion. The cord input portion is positioned terminally opposite to the cord output portion along the hanger chassis. The mounting element is connected adjacent to the hanger chassis. The track is positioned within the hanger chassis. The track traverses from the cord input portion to the cord output portion. The cord traverses through the track. The handle is connected to the cord. The connection element is connected to the cord, opposite to the handle.
Adjustable resistance exercise machine
An adjustable resistance exercise machine for providing variable resistance forces on a pull cable extending from the machine. The adjustable resistance exercise machine generally includes a plurality of power springs that may be selectively engaged using an adjustment mechanism. By engaging springs with different forces, the resistance may be adjusted incrementally as preferred for performing different exercises. The adjustable resistance exercise machine may be connected to various structures, either below or above an exerciser, to allow the exerciser to choose whether to pull the pull cable up or down during exercise.
COMBINED TRAINING AND MONITORING DEVICE
The present invention relates to a body resistance physical exercise device with monitoring and fitness tracking capabilities, comprising: a) an electrical monitoring element configured to measure information relative to exercise parameters during repetitive motions performed with said device; and b) an elastomeric band adapted to enable the repetitive motions, wherein the resistance of the elastomeric band is capable of being adjusted.
