A leg exerciser (30) and foot bar (20) may be included in the machine.

A training and exercising assembly for training while stepping, walking, or running includes a frame and a pair of rollers. Each roller is rotationally engaged to and extends between opposed side beams of the frame. An endless belt is positioned around and is operationally engaged to the pair of rollers. A motor is operationally engaged to at least one of the rollers and is positioned to selectively rotate the at least one of the rollers to rotate the endless belt. A user can selectively step, walk, and run upon an exposed surface of the endless belt. A plurality of attachment elements is engaged to the frame and extends around the endless belt. Each attachment element is selectively engageable a respective exercise device. The respective exercise device is removably engaged to the frame and is positioned for engagement by the user positioned on the endless belt.

Embodiments of an exercise device for squat training are disclosed. The exercise device disclosed herein provides users with a stable lower extremity base to help assure good motor function of the squat exercise to improve efficient flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance development.

A training device includes a backpack having a pair of shoulder straps, a rigid backbrace having at least two arms, a pair of lower support members coupled to ends of the rigid backbrace, and a resistance band coupled to each of the pair of lower support members and terminating in a handle.

A system and method for providing an exercise bar for a user to use for rowing or other exercises in the water of the spa or adjacent to the spa. The exercise bar may comprise a central hub, and two sides, each with a first inner tube attached to opposing side of the central hub and a an outer tube in telescoping connection with the inner tube, and a handgrip in connection with the first outer tube. A connector may be mounted to the central hub, the connector to enable the exercise bar to be connected to one or more resistance cables. The exercise bar may be adjustable from a first, shorter length for use with exercises in which a user's hands are positioned closer together and a second, longer length for use with exercises in which a user's hands are positioned father apart.

An explosive strength training device is provided. The explosive strength training device includes a cable set, a power box, a resistance motor and a controller. The cable set includes a rubber belt and a movable pulley block connected with one end of the rubber belt, the movable pulley block has a first main pulley disposed opposite to the rubber belt, and allows the pulling force of the rubber belt to pass through the center of the first main pulley. Through the labor-saving structure of the first main pulley, the middle section of the power belt is wound on the upper side of the first main pulley and fixedly sleeved on the positioning rod with the fixed side to form a fulcrum.

Disclosed is a machine that functions by a human subject standing on a stationary base with one foot on the base and the other foot on a pedal. The foot on the pedal is positioned such that the hip and knee joints are in the flexed position. On command, the human subject will force the flexed hip and knee joints to full extension. The full extension is followed by relaxation of the engaged muscles allowing the elastic bands to force the hip and knee joints back to the flex position (or starting position). This action is repeated for as many times as is possible within a given period of time. Upright bars (support structure) allow the individual to stabilize themselves during the action. Adjustments can be made to the pedal height of the machine in order to allow proper training for human subjects who differ in height.

In an embodiment, a volleyball training device includes a handle with two sliding grips. The sliding grips may each slide between one end of the handle and the center of the handle. The handle may include an anchor connected through its center. One or more foot straps, each including an anchor, may be connected to the handle anchor with a resistance band or strap. Two foot straps may be connected to the handle anchor with separate resistance bands, or by s single resistance band threaded through the handle anchor.

A mobile exercise device configured to enhance virtual reality experiences is provided. The system generally comprises a harness, top supports, bottom-carrying arms, resistance elements, and attachment elements secured to said resistance elements. In some preferred embodiments, a mechanical arm and/or top-carrying arm may be used to change the position of the resistance elements about a user. The resistance elements are preferably secured to a glove worn by a user, allowing for resistance in multiple directions. In one preferred embodiment, a control system may be used to adjust the tension of the resistance elements. In another embodiment, the system may be configured to operably connect to a gaming system, wherein an actuator operably connected to said resistance elements is responsible for adjusting tension based on actions by a user within a digital environment.

An article of manufacture for providing a lower leg and Achilles tendon exercise device according to the present invention, the exercise device includes a top frame structure having a first plurality of connection hooks about its perimeter, a bottom frame structure oriented in parallel to the top frame structure having a second plurality of hooks about its perimeter, a plurality of vertical support members coupled between the top frame structure and the bottom frame structure, a shoe support member having a plurality of connection hooks positioned about an outer edge, and a plurality of stretchable cords configured to couple the shoe support member to the top frame structure and the bottom frame structure, the stretchable cords coupled to the top frame structure position the shoe support member above the bottom support structure.
