A multi-axis adjustable exercise machine which is pivotable about both a pitch axis and a roll axis with respect to a base for allowing an exerciser to perform a wide range of exercises on a pitched or rolled exercise machine. The multi-axis adjustable exercise machine generally includes an exercise machine which is adjustable with respect to a base. The exercise machine may be pivoted about a roll axis to adjust the roll angle of the exercise machine or may be pivoted about a pitch axis to adjust the pitch angle of the exercise machine. One or more actuators may be connected between the base and the exercise machine to effectuate the pivoting of the exercise machine about either or both axes with respect to the base.

A multi-functional curved board used as a support for legs of a user and for general maintenance of muscle strength, the multi-functional curved board having one or more curved bodies (1) including a radius of curvature, a longitudinal axis, and at least one raised foot support. The multi-functional curved board can be bent in the direction transverse to the radius of curvature to enable the multi-functional curved board to rotate around the longitudinal axis.

A portable and kinetic motion resistance upper body invention that can be used for a variety of exercises. This invention combines dial tension adjustment clutch sheaves, a variable linear tract bearing and a one piece resistance shock-cord, together these core components achieve a unique minimal impact work-out. The multi-motion and changeable adjustments for this invention, result in a wide variety of muscular stimulation and therapeutic exercises that are non-existent in the fitness and health industry. The outcome of the mechanism can be customized for a particular sport requirement or physio and other therapeutic restorations, or even for case specific industrial and robotic counter-balancing controls. This invention is can also be used as a lift-assist device.

An exercise apparatus comprises a main body with a cavity that can be selectively covered with a lid. The main body is angled to increase the range of motion of a user of the apparatus. At least a portion of the lid is selectively housed within the cavity. A smaller scale embodiment of the exercise apparatus can be utilized as a sitting apparatus that corrects posture while a user is in a seated position. A method of exercise comprises a variety of steps which can be performed by a user while the user remains on his or her back.

A piece of exercise equipment particularly for improved strength training exercises. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment that allows the user to vary tension when performing different exercises. The present invention is specifically designed for improved exercise through the variability of a tension component for use in such exercises as the plank exercise, sit-ups, push-ups and supine pull-ups that includes a core support, a guide arm, a head support, and a foot support that work in conjunction to most optimally support the user. The core support, the head support and the foot support are all connected, supported, and elevated from the floor by a central support system.

A training device having a platform for receiving at least one person; at least one anchoring point for fastening a securing means that secures the person on the training device; a vertical rotation axis Z, about which the training device can be mounted rotatably or is mounted rotatably. The anchoring point is arranged at or above the height of the buttocks region of the person, and the training device is rotatable about this rotary axis Z by means of forces acting on the platform.

An End Platform for an Exercise Machine for increased support of an exerciser's spine, neck and head which allows for an expanded scope of exercises that cannot otherwise be performed on the machine without the improved platform. The End Platform for an Exercise Machine generally includes a novel, ergonomically improved stationary platform affixed to at least one opposed end of a substantially longitudinal exercise machine that includes at least a resistance biased reciprocating platform. The improved end platform provides for increased support of exercisers' spine, neck and head, thereby allowing for an expanded scope of exercises that cannot otherwise be performed on the machine without the improved platform, and further provides for the attachment of new and novel exercise equipment accessories to the exercise machine.

A fitness training apparatus comprising a controller configured to communicate instructions to a load generator to apply a selectively adjustable load to at least one retractable line provided in or on a base, the retractable line having a free end region, the at least one retractable line being extendible from a retracted state to an extended state upon application of a force to the free end region, wherein the load applied to the at least one retractable line acts against the force applied to the free end region. The controller is configured to perform operations comprising setting a target speed band for the at least one retractable line, receiving a speed of the at least one retractable line, and responsive to comparing the speed to the target speed band, modifying the selectively adjustable load to the at least one retractable line to maintain the target speed band.

An exercise device is portable and includes a steady platform with adjustable height and an adjustable resistance band. A user is able to utilize and interact with the device while lying on the ground. The device has an elastic band that is connected to two parallel vertical sides that are attached to a weighted stabilizing base. The height of the device can be adjusted to achieve different impact during the workout. The elastic band can be interchanged to vary the resistance level.
