A portable exercise device that allows a person to do Pilates type exercises without using traditional, cumbersome equipment. The device uses a pair of wheel assemblies each attached to each end of a central shaft. The shaft height can be adjusted from the center of each wheel to a lower point closer to the ground. Adjustable cam lockable hand/foot plates are attached to the shaft allowing the user to attach his or her feet to the shaft. Each hand/foot plate assembly includes a rotational plate that allows the hand/foot plate to be positioned at various angles in relation to the shaft. Resistance bands are attached on one side to the shaft and on the opposite side to a resistance source. The resistance source can be the user's own hands or feet, or a retaining strap attached to the lower portion of a door or wall.

In one embodiment, an exercise device includes a base. The base further includes a first side, a second side opposite the first side, an edge that joins the first side and the second side, at least one gliding element connected to the second side, a pivot joint connected to the edge, and a handle connected to the pivot joint.

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.

A muscle strengthening system is provided having a functional core endurance training device and a pair of rolling blocks for supporting the functional core endurance training device. Each rolling block in the pair of rolling blocks includes an elongated opening for receiving a wheel of the functional core endurance training device. Additionally, each rolling block in the pair of rolling blocks includes a pair of rollers, a stabilizer and a bumper guard for grounding the surface of the wheels of the functional core endurance training device allowing the wheels to spin with increased intensity. Optionally, an individual may utilize a stationary foot pedestal or a wheeled foot pedestal that provides for both the strengthening of the muscles of the individual while simultaneously stimulating an endurance building effect on the muscular and fascial systems of the body, all of which is achieved with minimal to no impact/pounding on the joints.

An exercise device including a body engagement portion that can support a user, and a guide track assembly that can rotationally house the body engagement portion. The body engagement portion includes a base surface and a rotation support assembly. The base surface may support the user in a standard plank position. The body engagement portion may allow a user to rotate between a first side plank position, the standard plank position, and a second side plank position relative to a support surface while the guide track assembly remain in contact with the support surface and the body engagement portion support upper body of the user. The body engagement portion may allow a user to statically hold a plank position or rotate between two plank positions at any angle equal to, or between, the first side plank position, the standard plank position, and the second side plank position.

There is provided a plank exercise device including a support portion adapted to receive arms or hands of a person and adapted to receive a display device, a destabilizer connected to the support portion, and a stationary base adapted to hold the destabilizer.

An exercise machine with multiple contact surfaces for providing secondary exercise support platforms positioned at various planes relative to the horizontal plane of the primary exercising platforms, the secondary platforms further serving as handles used during the performance of exercises. The exercise machine with multiple contact surfaces generally includes a frame, a carriage movably attached to the rail, and a first support structure and a second support structure attached to the frame near the first end. The support structures each include one or more platforms having an upper surface that is positioned above the base plane of the carriage.

A balancing push up bar effective for strengthening core muscles is provided. The balancing push up bar includes a bar coupling a front arc and a rear arc. A shape profile of the front and the rear provide a rocking movement of the balancing push up bar. A user may be able to mount the bar and perform push-up exercises while balancing on the bar, strengthening, and tones the core muscles.

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.

An exercise machine which allows for a wide range of exercises while maintaining improved balance and control for the exerciser. The exercise machine generally includes a frame having a first track, a carriage movably connected to the first track, a first platform and a second platform connected to the frame, a first stationary handle extending upwardly from the upper surface of the first platform, and a second stationary handle extending upwardly from the upper surface of the first platform.
