An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.

A suspension training based functional fitness element (11, 31) comprising: an essentially planar element (22) having an upper edge, a lower edge and two side edges, said planar element (22) being designed to form a pivotable connection to a support element (32) along said upper edge of the planar element (22), a first elongated element (23, 32, 52) connected to said planar element (22) at a first connection point at said lower edge of the planar element (22), a second elongated element (23, 32, 52) connected to said planar element (22) at a second connection point at said lower edge of the planar element (22), and a first and second handle (24), said first and second handle (24) being connected to said first and second elongated elements (23) respectively, whereby that said first and second connection points are arranged such that there is a horizontal offset between the first and second connection points and such that there is a vertical offset between the first connection point and the pivotable connection and a vertical offset between the second connection point and the pivotable connection.

An expendable and transportable bag is disclosed. In one embodiment, a stretchable reusable bag hidden inside a lanyard keychain is now readily available to carry goods in a moment's notice of under 5 seconds. An attachment device enables the Sneakey-Bag to consistently be with the consumer, for example, with the consumer's keys or ID card and can be put away entirely in the lanyard in 3 to 5 seconds.

An exercise device can include a handle having a handle axis and a handle weight. A head can be removably coupled to a distal end of the handle with a single fastener adjacent a proximal end of the head. The head can have a head weight and can be axe-shaped. A distal end of the head can be blunt. A portion of each of the proximal and distal ends can be planar.

An exercise apparatus includes at least one resilient member; a first weight connected to a first end portion of the at least one resilient member; a second weight connected to a second end portion of the at least one resilient member, and a holding member connected to a center portion of the at least one resilient member, the center portion being between the first and second end portions. Another exercise apparatus includes a holding member; a first resilient member having first and second end portions, the first end portion being connected to the holding member; a first weight connected to the first resilient member; a second resilient member having first and second end portions, the first end portion being connected to the holding member opposite the first end portion of the first resilient member; a second weight connected to the second resilient member.

A resistance system, which can be suitable for incorporation in exercise equipment, is a hybrid resistance assembly having at least a first and a second resistance unit. The first resistance unit can be of a first type and the second resistance unit can be of a second type. The first resistance unit can be an inertial resistance unit, which incorporates an inertial load that creates resistance influenced by the inertia of a movable mass, such as a rotatable flywheel. The second resistance unit can be a static or non-inertial resistance unit, such as a displacement resistance unit, which incorporates a load that creates resistance influenced by displacement (e.g., linear or rotational displacement) of an input to the displacement resistance unit.

The present disclosure relates to a modular strap-based exercise apparatus, kit, and method of use thereof, and more particularly to an apparatus, kit, and method for modularly connecting components of a strap-based exercise device. In an embodiment, the strap-based exercise apparatus includes one or more infinity loops configured to attach various portions of the exercise apparatus together. The exercise apparatus may be provided as a kit including an elongated member, a grip assembly, and one or more mechanisms for adjusting the length of a strap and connecting straps together.

An exercise device can include a handle having a handle axis and a handle weight. A head can be removably coupled to a distal end of the handle with a single fastener adjacent a proximal end of the head. The head can have a head weight and can be axe-shaped. A distal end of the head can be blunt. A portion of each of the proximal and distal ends can be planar.

A collapsible hand exercise assembly is disclosed. The frame comprises a substantially rectangular box having a plurality of panels to define a hollow upper section and the box is removably attached to a hollow vertical member via a fastening mechanism. The hollow vertical member is fixedly attached to a weighted base section of the frame. The hollow section comprises a plurality of resilient members tensioned to the sidewalls of the rectangular box is configured to provide resistance for muscles when a user performs the hand exercise.

An elastic sound generating device, comprising an elastic sounding body integrally formed of an elastic material, the elastic sounding body having therein one or more sound amplified holes which can be pressed to adhere and then released to generate vibration and sound, and the sound amplified hole is opened through an outer surface of the elastic sounding body. The elastic sounding body is pressed and deformed until inner walls of the sound amplified hole adhere to each other, and then the elastic sounding body is released to restore the original shape and separate the inners wall of the sound amplified hole, and when the inner walls of the sound amplified hole are separated from each other, a sound is generated. The generated sound as a detectable signal is a solution for the range of motion of the training joint, the strength of the output and the shortest duration.
