Portable exercise device
A portable exercise device allowing a user to perform Pilates type exercises without using traditional, cumbersome equipment. The device uses a pair of wheel assemblies respectively attached to opposing ends of a central shaft. A shaft height can be adjusted from a center of each wheel to a lower point closer to a ground surface. Adjustable cam lockable hand/foot plates are attached to the shaft allowing the user to attach his or her feet to the shaft. Each hand/foot plate includes a rotational plate that allows the hand/foot plate to be positioned at various angles in relation to the shaft. Resistance bands are attached on one side to the shaft and on the opposite side to a resistance source. The resistance source can be the user's own hands or feet, or a retaining strap attached to a lower portion of a door or wall.
Exercise machine
An exercise apparatus includes foot docking station comprising a base plate pivotally fixed to a back plate at a hinge. The back plate includes a central pivot rotationally fixed with a foot plate that includes a shin engagement mechanism for engaging the shins of the person. The foot docking station further includes a first receiver for engaging a lower bench. At least one distal leg is fixed with the lower bench at a rotational leg mount, the lower bench including a second receiver for engaging an upper bench. At least one proximal leg is fixed with the upper bench at another rotational leg mount. A top side of the upper bench includes a track upon which a bench trolley slides. The bench trolley includes at least one cushion, a pair of laterally extending handles, and at least a first pair of wheels that engage the track.
Exercise machine
An exercise apparatus includes foot docking station comprising a base plate pivotally fixed to a back plate at a hinge. The back plate includes a central pivot rotationally fixed with a foot plate that includes a shin engagement mechanism for engaging the shins of the person. The foot docking station is selectively attachable to a lower bench. A distal leg is fixed with the lower bench at a rotational leg mount, the lower bench including a receiver for engaging an upper bench. A proximal leg is fixed with the upper bench at another rotational leg mount. An auxiliary bench may be fixed with the upper and lower benches.
Sit-up foot anchor
The sit-up foot anchor includes a door bumper that includes a planar section that extends over to a pair of footholds. The pair of footholds is parallel with one another, and are hemi-cylindrical cavities adapted to receive a foot of an end user therein. The planar section is adapted to be positioned underneath a door, and the door bumper is adapted to be positioned on a first side of said door whereas the pair of footholds is adapted to be positioned on a second side of said door. In use, the device utilizes said door in order to securely hold feet of said end user while said end user conducts a sit-up.
Mountable Exercise Machine
A mountable exercise machine is a device that is utilized to perform exercises based on elastic resistance and bodyweight. The device includes a first mounting bracket and a second mounting bracket and may be mounted to a door, wall, or similar surface or structure. A first resistance assembly and a second resistance assembly provide elastic resistance when performing exercise. The user is able to grasp a first handle and a second handle when performing upper body exercises. The first resistance assembly and the second resistance assembly may additionally include an ankle strap for performing lower body exercises. At least one harness strap may be utilized to perform suspension and other bodyweight exercises using the device. An upper door bracket and a lower door bracket allow the device to be mounted to a door instead of a wall or similar surface.
Adjustable Double End Bag
A vertically adjustable double end bag system includes a double end bag connected to a tether. The tether may be a continuous cord o two connected cords, and may be flexible or substantially fixed length. The double end bag includes an adjuster mechanism for selectively positioning the bag. A support, such as may be connected to a door or other upright fixture or as may be free-standing via a base, connects to and suspends the tether.
MAGNETIC FRICTION AND VISCOUS CYLINDER-PISTON RESISTANCE PORTABLE EXERCISE EQUIPMENT
Pairs of magnetic disks and reciprocation piston-cylinders filled with viscous fluid are used to provide friction for a portable exercise harness. The viscous fluid in cylinder-piston push-pull configuration provide resistance to a extension cable for the physical exercise. The exercise apparatus fits in a harness for travel and easy attachment to ordinary household furniture and fixtures.
