Combination therapeutic and exercise single board elliptical-motion device
An exercise device including a base having a channel formed therein, and a wheel rotatably connected to the base. The exercise device additionally includes a support link having a first end portion slidably connected to the channel and a second end portion pivotally connected to the wheel. The exercise device further comprises a single platform having an upper surface sized to support both feet of a user. The single platform is connected to the support link such that the single platform moves in concert with the support link. A first rotation member is coupled to the single platform and configured to rotate relative to the single platform about a first rotation axis generally perpendicular to the upper surface.
Training apparatus with swivel step plate
A training apparatus with swivel step plates and programmable music built in for a dance lesson and workout on the training apparatus. The step plate has a movement mechanism that reciprocates with a vertical component and a longitudinal component. The step plate is attached to the movement mechanism such that the step plate has a pivoting action about a vertical axis that is orthogonal to the orientation of a top surface of the step plate.
Physical exercise apparatus
An exercise apparatus is provided that allows the user to assist the force applied with one arm or leg by exerting force from another appendage, without the use of complex mechanical linkages. The apparatus may also be reconfigured to accommodate the user in a wide variety of positions.
PORTABLE DEVICES FOR EXERCISING MUSCLES IN THE ANKLE, FOOT, AND/OR LEG, AND RELATED METHODS
A method for exercising muscles in an ankle, foot, and/or leg of a user includes positioning a foot of a user onto a first body of an exercise device. The first body is spaced away from a second body of the device and pivotably connected to the second body of the device at a pivot axis. The pivot axis is adjacent to a central portion of the first body. The method includes rotating the first body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a first resistive force. Rotating the first body includes subjecting the foot to a first motion. The method includes positioning the foot onto the second body. The method includes rotating the second body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a second resistive force. Rotating the second body includes subjecting the foot to a second motion, the second motion being different than the first motion.
EXERCISE SYSTEM
According to one example, an exercise system includes a vertical housing, a first weight system coupled to a first upper weighted touchpoint, a second weight system coupled to a second upper weighted touchpoint, a third weight system coupled to a first lower weighted touchpoint, and a fourth weight system coupled to a second lower weighted touchpoint. The exercise system further includes a control system that is configured to cause the first weight system to provide weight to the first upper weighted touchpoint independent of each of the second, third, and fourth weight systems, and cause the third weight system to provide weight to the first lower weighted touchpoint independent of each of the first, second, and fourth weight systems. The first upper weighted touchpoint and the first lower weighted touchpoint may allow the user to exercise the first arm and the first leg of the user simultaneously.
System and Method of Using Two Exercise Machines
A system and method of using two exercise machines for performing a wide range of exercise movements that utilize both of the exercise machines in concert. The system and method of using two exercise machines generally includes first exercise machine and a second exercise machine which are used in concert to perform a wide range of exercise movements. The first exercise machine may include a track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The second exercise machine may include its own separate track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The exercise machines may be positioned side-to-side in parallel orientation such that an exerciser may perform various exercise moves by positioning different limbs on the respective carriages, end platforms, and/or tracks of the exercise machines, in addition to the surface underlying the exercise machines.
FOOT-PEDALING EXERCISE APPARATUS
A foot-pedaling exercise apparatus by which a user can perform an effective foot-pedaling exercise is provided. A foot-pedaling exercise apparatus includes a crank, a main-body part configured to rotatably hold the crank, a link rotatably connected to the crank, the link including a pedal on which a sitting user puts his/her foot, a moving member disposed in the link, and a tilt table including an inclined surface on which the moving member slides.
Method and System for Using Artificial Intelligence to Interact with a User of an Exercise Device During an Exercise Session
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.
Method and System for Using Artificial Intelligence to Determine a User's Progress During Interval Training
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to perform a control action. The control action is based on one or more measurements from a wearable device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive the one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the control action to be performed. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from the wearable device being worn by a user, determining whether the one or more measurements indicate, during an interval training session, that one or more characteristics of the user are within a desired target zone, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements indicate the one or more characteristics of the user are not within the desired target zone during the interval training session, performing the control action.
Method and System for Using Artificial Intelligence to Adjust Pedal Resistance
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of one or more pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive one or more measurements as input, and outputting, based on the one or more measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify the resistance of the one or more pedals. The method includes receiving the one or more measurements from a sensor associated with the one or more pedals of the exercise device, determining whether the one or more measurements satisfy a trigger condition, and responsive to determining that the one or more measurements satisfy the trigger condition, transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device.
