A wrist rehabilitation aid system includes a rod that is elongated and has a first end, a second end and a perimeter surface extending between the first and second ends. A first portion of the rod is positioned adjacent to the first end and defines a grip. A connector is coupled to the second end. The connector is freely rotational with respect to the rod about a rotational axis orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second ends of the rod. A tether is resiliently stretchable and has an attached end removably attached to the connector and a free end attachable to a stationary anchor.

A fully portable exercise system and apparatus utilized for exercising, stretching, and training multiple muscle groups of the body of a user. The apparatus has at least one closeable pocket and fixation rings for securing and carrying accessories, such as attachable handgrips, adjustable suspension straps or lines, and elastic bands. Another configuration illustrates a suspension training system comprising non-elastic suspension sub-assemblies, elastic suspension sub-assemblies and handgrips, configurable with or without the portable exercise apparatus. The apparatus and methods of use provide the user with a plurality of configurations for assisted exercise regimens and the flexibility to exercise anywhere. The apparatus is adaptable to be worn about the waist of a user, carried as a bandolier about the user's body or utilized as a releasably fixed suspension trainer.

An exercise device having many advantageous features is described, including the ability to provide a user with multiple modes of training by transforming the device into different configurations. Users can exercise their cardiovascular endurance by using the device in its jump rope configuration. Users can also engage in muscular resistance training using the same device configured to one of multiple possible resistance training configurations. Resistance training configurations provide a method of suspending a user's bodyweight from an anchor point such that a user can train their muscular strength capacity by exerting themselves against the force of gravity. Resistance can be selected from nearly zero resistance to the user's full body weight, with the ability to easily adjust between exercises and between users, and the ability to easily transform the device between configurations to provide for versatility and ease-of-use. The device includes an inelastic length member with two handles and/or grips at both ends. In one embodiment, the device also includes handles that can be detached from complimentary clips located at the terminal end points of the inelastic length member such that the clips can secure to each other or to designated points on the inelastic member for the purpose of easily transforming the configuration of the device. This multipurpose, portable exercise device is compact and can be used to perform jump rope exercises or bodyweight suspension exercises. To perform jump rope exercises, users can manipulate the handles to exert a centrifugal force on the device to swing the inelastic member about their body. Users can perform bodyweight suspension exercises after securely mounting the device to an anchor point by and subsequently pulling or pushing one or both of the grips away from the anchor point.

An exercise device and an inflatable alternative are provided. The exercise device is composed of a planar base attached to block(s). The block(s) may serve as cushioning or weighted items to enable a variety of exercises. The planar base is securable against a structure such as a door frame. The planar base is also convertible to a bench with shaft(s) that connect block(s) to form legs for the bench. The inflatable alternative includes a top end that is securable to the structure. A bottom end of the inflatable alternative is securable to a user through an ankle cuff. The ankle cuff provides the user a measure of control over a mobility of the inflatable alternative during an exercise.

Exercise equipment for at least pulling and pushing exercises comprises an elastic tubular band covered by a flexible material covering, for example, of nylon which is threaded through an O-ring grommet and holes in first and second straps threaded through first and second handles proximate to one another when gripped by a user. The exercise equipment may be used with a safety door attachment that comprises a safety loop for looping around a door handle or knob. The safety loop is stitched to a loop threaded through a plastic spindle of a foam door stop used on one side of a closed door. A further loop extends from the plastic spindle to the other closed side of the door and is adapted to receive the exercise equipment through the further loop. A series of isometric pulling and pushing exercises, trunk rotation among other exercises are disclosed and various accessories which may be used for warm up, relieving pain and for exercise including a D-ring embodiment for use with known exercise equipment.

A lightweight and portable fitness apparatus comprises a pair of wheel assemblies connected by a connecting bar. The apparatus may be used to perform Pilates-style exercises by a variety of activities such as lifting or rolling the apparatus. The connection bar of the apparatus is offset from a center of each wheel assembly and rotatable from an outer portion of each wheel assembly. The offset position allows the connection bar and wheel assemblies to act as a stable rolling platform, similar to a platform of a Pilates reformer, but as the lightweight and portable apparatus.

An isometric-exercise towel for use in performing isometric exercises, including a layer of moisture-absorbent material having four corners, and a thick pile having moisture-wicking characteristics, a hand/foot-insertable aperture formed in each of the four corners of the isometric-exercise towel. The perimeter of each hand/foot-insertable aperture is reinforced with double stitching, and a reinforced stitching pattern is formed between pairs of hand/foot-insertable apertures formed on opposing ends of the isometric-exercise towel. The hand and/or foot of a person using the isometric-exercise towel, or both hands and/or feet of the person, can be inserted within any one or more of the hand/foot-insertable apertures formed in the isometric-exercise towel so as to perform one or more isometric exercises by the person using his or her hands and/or feet to exert forces against the side inner perimeter surfaces of the hand/foot-insertable apertures of the isometric-exercise towel in an outwardly and isometric manner.

A door mounted resistance training system includes an anchoring channel which seat over a top rail of a door. The channel includes parallel front and rear plates. A support bar pivots about the front plate from a vertical position to a horizontal position, wherein it functions as a cantilever anchor for elastic resistance elements. The distal end of the support bar includes an anchoring component for attaching an end of at least one elastic resistance element. The anchoring component is spaced laterally from the door a distance sufficient to permit one to perform resistance training routines without contacting the door.
