A device and method may be provided including at least one handle and at least one anchor point. The device may be operable to provide a resistance to a user of the device who fixes the device using the anchor point and pulls on the handle. The device may include a casing; a center rod rotatable mounted in the casing; a cable wound around the center rod and coupled to the handle; and a mechanism mounted on the central rod. The mechanism may be responsive with a centrifugal force to movement of the cable to rotate the central rod. The mechanism may include an anchor coupled to the central rod, and at least one weight connected by a wire to a ring that is movable along the central rod against the resistance of a spring.

A device configured to exercise facial and neck muscles and related methods are provided. The device operates by applying static and/or dynamic external forces to the muscles of the modiolus area of the face and related ligaments. The device includes a pair of bars that may be connected by rotatory means or by an expandable horizontal connection, each having a proximal and distal end. The proximal end of each bar includes a modiolus holder. The modiolus holders are shaped to partially fit within the user's mouth, and when fit to the modiolus area by the separation of the bars, brings the modiolus holders in tight contact with the modiolus area. This movement secures the insertions of the muscles attached at the modiolus, allowing these muscles to be stretched, therefore creating resistance to their contractions. The area to be exercised is selected by angling of the device, so as to target the upper, lower, or middle section of the face and neck. The device is then move away from the user's mouth, creating a pulling force. The user resists the force exerted by the device, thereby exercising the muscles of the face.

A pull-up/chin-up instrument (1) comprises, as its main components, one support column (2) which is maintained in an erected state by being propped up between a ceiling surface (Sc) and a floor surface (Sf) of a house, and a pull-up/chin-up handle (3) fixed to an upper part of the one support column (2). According to this configuration, there can be provided a pull-up/chin-up instrument, which realizes a reduced installation space and a low product price. The pull-up/chin-up handle (3) is supported by the one support column (2) only. The support column (2) is preferably inclined with a predetermined inclination angle () with respect to the direction of gravity. The main part of the support column (2) may include an upper pipe (11) on the side of the ceiling surface (Sc), a lower pipe (12) on the side of the floor surface (Sf) and a middle pipe (13) that is slidably fitted into the upper pipe (11) and lower pipe (12).

A lightweight, mobile treadmill attachment designed for effective weight reduction, anti-gravity suspension is disclosed. The treadmill attachment provides a system in which an elastic cord is suspended within a frame that attaches to the arms of a treadmill. The elastic cord imparts an equalized lifting force throughout the suspension system by a rope camming system to a user to provide an effective weight loss and anti-gravity functionality.

The proposed invention is a suspension training system that helps perform a large variety of exercises by using users body weight. Bodyweight Resistance Trainer allows you to advance your workout by adjusting your body to use more, or less, gravity. Will help you burn fat, build core strength and tone your entire body. Both resistance straps can be anchored in the door anchor included by attaching both resistance straps carabiners into the door anchor loop.

An adjustable exercise suspension system and related methods of use and exercise are disclosed. The system includes a length-adjustable suspension strap assembly attached at one end to a fixed overhead support structure and at an opposite end to a weight element. The strap assembly comprises a plurality of straps detachably connected together. The weight element is suspended from the overhead support structure creating a tensile force in the strap assembly establishing a taut condition. The weight element is manually movable by a user during the exercise routine along an arcuate path in a plane of stable motion while the tensile force maintains the taut condition of the strap assembly. The strap assembly advantageously provides guided and stabilized motion of the weight element for the user thereby minimizing risk of injury. The resistance force of the system is user-variable by attaching different size weight elements to the strap assembly.

A body exercise apparatus comprising: a torso band; at least one first protuberance member disposed on the torso band; an appendage band; at least one second protuberance member disposed on the appendage band; at least one first sensor associated with the torso band; at least one second sensor associated with the appendage band; at least one resistance cable having one end removably attached between the at least one first protuberance member and the at least one second protuberance member.

An exercise system includes an integrated controller to automatically vary a resistive force output by the equipment during exercise in response to a user's characteristics. The user's characteristics are input to the controller, and the controller outputs signals to the exercise equipment corresponding to a workout regime. The exercise equipment includes a support system with an actuator assembly coupled to the support system and in communication with the controller. A resistance assembly is coupled to the support system and configured to translate along guides of the support system. The controller sends signals to the actuator assembly to vary a resistive force applied to the resistance assembly in response to the predetermined workout regime based on the user's characteristics.
