The present invention relates to the field of fitness training devices and exercise machines. More specifically, a substantially horizontal exercise machine comprising an exercise platform slidable along one or more rails aligned with the longitudinal axis of the machine structure, the slidable platform spring-biased towards one end of the machine, is tiltable to allow for one end of the machine to be raised or lowered relative to the opposed end of the machine.

In some embodiments, a Pilates exercise machine can include a sliding carriage and a massage module. In some embodiments, the sliding carriage comprises a box frame and a support plate. In some embodiments, the box frame is configured to have a space to accommodate the massage module. In some embodiments, In some embodiments, the Pilates exercise machine can include a display screen and/or a mirror. In some embodiments, the Pilates exercise machine can be used to perform at least one weight training exercise. In some embodiments, the Pilates exercise machine includes a digital weight.

A sports swing muscle memory development device comprising attachment components, connection components, and resistance components to enable the development of swing relationship. Further embodiments allow for an adjustable swing relationship to further enhance the effectiveness of the sports swing muscle memory development device.

The present invention relates to the field of fitness training devices and exercise machines. More specifically, a substantially horizontal exercise machine comprising an exercise platform slidable along one or more rails aligned with the longitudinal axis of the machine structure, the slidable platform spring-biased towards one end of the machine, is tiltable to allow for one end of the machine to be raised or lowered relative to the opposed end of the machine.

A digitally enhanced exercise system includes a proximal section comprising a first structural member and a platform; a distal section comprising a second structural member and an interface, wherein the interface is attached to the second structural member by a mount; a spine that is spans between the first structural member and the second structural member; a carriage configured to move in a single axis along the spine; a tension system, wherein the tension system is capable of resisting the carriage from moving; a sensor array arranged so as to detect changes in weight on the carriage; and a processor. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Further embodiments allow for an adjustable swing relationship to further enhance the effectiveness of the sports swing muscle memory development device.

An exercise machine with resistance selector system for selecting the number of bias members applying a resistance force against a movable platform. The exercise machine with resistance selector system generally includes one or more switches which are connected to the movable platform. Each of the one or more switches is adapted to engage or disengage a corresponding latch. When engaged, the latch will connect a corresponding bias member to the movable platform. When disengaged, the latch will disconnect a corresponding bias member from the movable platform. In this manner, an exerciser may easily adjust the number of bias members connected to the movable platform so as to adjust the resistance force applied against movement of the movable platform along a rail.

A wearable resistance apparatus includes a waist band and a pair of leg resistance assemblies. Each leg resistance assembly includes a leg anchor, a foot anchor and at least one resistance band. The resistance bands preferably attach between a waist area and a foot area of a wearer and each extend down a rear of the wearer's legs. When the resistance bands are moved into a resistant position, tension is created in lower body muscles of the wearer, such as gluteal muscles, hamstring muscles and/or calf muscles. The wearable resistance apparatus provides exercise to the wearer during everyday activities and also provides enhanced exercise when performing activities such as walking, cycling, jogging and running.

An exercise system for exercising a body's oblique muscle group relies upon a wheel mechanism having an outer wheel portion arranged at a first radial distance and an inner wheel portion arranged at a second radial distance, where the outer and inner wheel parts include respective sets of handgrips. A weight system is arranged to be coupled to and decoupled from the wheel mechanism. A coupling mechanism couples the weight system to and decouples the weight system from the wheel mechanism, in a first circumferential direction, or in a second circumferential direction. The hand grips allow a user to grasp the wheel mechanism and turn it in the first or the second circumferential directions against a respective force that the wheel mechanism is turned against that is defined by the aggregate selected weight when coupled to the wheel mechanism, in one of the first and second circumferential directions.

A method of exercising includes positioning a foot of a user onto a pedal of an exercise device. The pedal is pivotably connected to a pair of supports forming a triangular base and has a neutral position relative to a pivot axis of the device. The method includes applying a first force to the pedal to rotate the pedal about the pivot axis in a first direction, toward a first support. The method includes resisting movement of the pedal toward the first support with a resistance mechanism of the device. The method includes applying a second force to the pedal to rotate the pedal about the pivot axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction, toward a second support and away from the first support. The method includes resisting movement of the pedal toward the second support with the resistance mechanism of the device.
