An exercise device. The exercise device includes an elongated member with a pair of grooves disposed at opposing ends. A pair of tension screws are utilized to slidably secure a pair of clamps to opposing ends of the elongated member. The pair of clamps slidably adjust along the length of the elongated member by traveling along the grooves. The clamps secure the elongated member to an opening, such as a door frame. The elongated member further includes a pair of recessed portions. The recessed portions are configured to curve around a soleus portion of a user's legs. A pair of straps affixed to opposing ends of each recessed portion removably secure about a front of the user's legs. In one embodiment, the elongated member is hingedly divided into two parts, wherein each part includes a clamp slidably secured thereto and a recessed portion, thereby providing a storage configuration.

An isolation bar for a chin-up or pull-up bar extends parallel or at an acute angle (angled facing upwards) and is below a grasping region of the chin-up or pull-up device. The isolation bar can be hung from the chin-up or pull-up bar by way of cables/elongated straps or be fixed to a door frame, wall mounted, or free standing device with the grasping region. In use, the forearms of a user are pushed against the isolation bar while carrying out a chin-up or pull-up.

An exercise apparatus includes a first cord, a second cord, and an adjustment mechanism. The first cord is pullable from and retractable around a first pulley. The second cord is pullable from and retractable around a second pulley. The adjustment mechanism allows for adjusting a pull-out tension provided by the first cord independently of a retraction tension provided by the first cord. The pull-out tension provided by the first cord is a tension provided by the first cord when the first cord is pulled from the first pulley. The retraction tension provided by the first cord is a tension provided by the first cord when the first cord is retracted around the first pulley.

A body weight exercise device includes a frame, a first handle attached to the frame, a second handle attached to the frame, and a processor and memory. The memory includes programmed instructions to cause the processor to determine a characteristic associated with a performance of an exercise with the body weight exercise device.

An exercise handle that includes a clamp configured to secure the exercise handle in place. The clamp includes a first portion that includes a first section and a second section. The clamp also includes a spring within the first portion. The spring biases the clamp in a closed position. The clamp further includes a second portion, where the second portion includes a first arm on the first section and a second arm on the second section. The exercise handle also includes a first block attached to the first arm of the second portion and a second block attached to the second arm of the second portion. The exercise further includes a handle. The handle includes a first segment, the first segment placed around at least some of the first portion and a second segment extending perpendicularly from the first segment and rotates relative to the first portion.

Handles for use in exercise apparatus and in lifting apparatus are provided.

The present disclosure provides an exercise device having two tubular members and a tension member disclosed therein and coupled thereto, the tubular members designed to be pulled away from each other, and whereby the exercise device is also capable of being attached to one or more resistance bands.

An exercise apparatus for attachment and use within a door frame includes a pair of elongated frame elements with each having apertures configured to receive various types of cross bars. The frame elements are designed to be secured to vertical portions of a door frame without interfering with passing through the doorway or closing the door. A cross bar having a length greater than the door width is configured to be received within corresponding apertures among the frame elements. A cross bar has a retractable spring pin protruding from the bar so that the spring pin may engage a frame element to limit axial excursion of the bar. Two such spring pins may be included in the bar, so that with the frame elements including apertures having pin-receiving pockets, one type of bar may rotate freely while another type of bar is prevented from rotation.

A doorway installable exercise assembly for maintaining physical fitness includes a plurality of brackets, a bar, a plurality of handles, and a plurality of straps. The brackets are configured to couple to a jamb of a doorway. The bar is configured to couple to the brackets so that the bar is parallelly positioned relative to the jamb. The straps are resilient. Each strap is configured to reversibly couple to and extend between the bar and a respective handle. A respective strap is positioned on the bar so that the respective handle is positioned to be grasped in a hand of a user. The respective strap is configured to provide resistance to movement of the respective handle distally from the bar.

An isolation bar for a chin-up or pull-up bar extends parallel or at an acute angle (angled facing upwards) and is below a grasping region of the chin-up or pull-up device. The isolation bar can be hung from the chin-up or pull-up bar by way of cables/elongated straps or be fixed to a door frame, wall mounted, or free standing device with the grasping region. In use, the forearms of a user are pushed against the isolation bar while carrying out a chin-up or pull-up.
