Several full-body workout systems are disclosed, including a home tree system, flex board system, flex ottoman system, flex couch system, and flex bench system. These workout systems are used with a workout strap with a stiff body and two ends that terminate in spring-loaded padded clips that are padded in a number of locations for comfortable grip.

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 low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.

A translatable carriage exercise machine comprising first and second spaced elongate side rails. A moveable carriage translatable along the side rails. An upper support surface on the carriage sized to support the entire posterior trunk of an adult human in supine. A plurality of elastic tension members secured to a bottom of the moveable carriage and fixable to a plurality of spring anchors. An upright footbar positioned at a machine first end. A pair of carriage pulleys fixed at a second end of the exercise apparatus with carriage ropes adjustably fixed to the moveable carriage each looped around respective carriage pulleys. A rotational resistance mechanism comprising an elongate resistance band having an extended configuration and a retracted configuration. The rotational resistance mechanism comprising a resistor comprising a load member. A user option to utilize one or more of the elastic tension members and rotational resistance mechanism during exercise.

A reformer includes a generally rectangular frame, a movable carriage mounted on the frame for movement between head end and foot end of the frame, and a plurality of springs biasing the carriage toward the foot end of the frame. The carriage has at least four roller wheels. A carriage drag adjustment device in accordance with the present disclosure generally includes a drag generator configured to apply an opposing force to at least one roller wheel of the wheeled reformer carriage, a mounting assembly fastening the drag generator to the wheeled reformer carriage, and an adjustment mechanism coupled to the drag generator to adjust the amount of drag applied to at least one roller wheel mounted to an underside of the reformer carriage, thereby opposing movement of the wheeled reformer carriage between the head and foot ends of the frame.

An exercise machine includes a frame, a seat track of the frame, a seat movably attached to the seat track of the frame, at least one resistance mechanism connected to the frame, a pull cable in communication with the resistance mechanism, a crank assembly in communication with the resistance mechanism, a first swing arm connected to the frame, and a second swing arm connected to the frame.

An expandable exercise system is used for mounting a part of an ancillary exercise device. The expandable exercise system includes a main exercise device and another part of the ancillary exercise device. The main exercise device includes a coupling seat. The other part of the ancillary exercise device is pre-mounted to the coupling seat and detachably connected with the part of the ancillary exercise device to form the ancillary exercise device, thereby easily increasing or decreasing the number of training modules to enhance the convenience of product use.
