A shoulder motion exercise device, kit, and method of use having a retainer, a plurality of connectors, an extender, and a slider. The device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

A weight lifter's shirt includes a fabric body covering including an exercise device incorporated into the shirt. The exercise device includes an elastic chest spanning member and a pair of elastic sleeves or cuffs. In a bench press lift, lowering of a weighted bar stretches the elastic member thereby storing energy in the elastic member and assisting the lifter to raise the weighted bar.

Embodiments of the present invention are drawn to an exercise device generally having a strap, a brace, and a ring. The brace includes four finger straps and a thumb strap for looping around and gripping a user's fingers and thumbs, respectively. When the exercise device is used while exercising, the force applied to the brace is evenly distributed to stretch and strengthen the user's hands. A key benefit of the exercise device is activating stabilizing muscles of the hands and arms. This promotes better form and technique during lifting, which translates into heavier weight lifted and fewer injuries.

A stress-reducing garment top is an apparatus that provides a concealed, stress-reducing tool within a garment. The apparatus includes a long-sleeved top, a first resistance band, and a second resistance band. The long-sleeved top includes a torso-covering portion, a first sleeve, and a second sleeve. The torso-covering portion covers the torso of a user. The first sleeve and the second sleeve cover the left arm and the right arm of the user, respectively. The first resistance band serves as the stress-reducing tool for the left hand of the user, and the second resistance band serves as the stress-reducing tool for the right hand of the user. The first resistance band and the second resistance band each provide resistance against while extending the fingers of the user. The first resistance band and the second resistance band are positioned directly around each hand in order to be readily accessible.

This limb training machine 1 is provided with a wearable main body unit 2 that can be worn on a limb B, and with a first weight 31 and a second weight 32 mounted on the wearable main body unit 2 and, in a state worn on the limb B, applying a load to the limb by means of the weight of the first weight 31 and the second weight 32, wherein, in said worn state, the first weight 31 and the second weight 32 are substantially in a point symmetric positional relation when viewed in a perpendicular direction DB2 perpendicular to the central axis JB1 in the longitudinal direction of the limb B.

A resistive device that enables adjustable resistance in at least one direction using an attachment system and associated eddy current braking system. The resistive device can be bench-mounted, in some embodiments, used for physical therapy caused by neuromuscular diseases, such as stroke and cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders, general disuse, or even for overall fitness.

A device for exercising an arm of a user, the device including an adjustable pad that is configured to accommodate different size arms, an adjustable tension dampener that is configured to extend and retract, a lower extension, an adjustment lever that is configured to lengthen or shorten said lower extension, a handgrip, in which said handgrip comprises a rotating handgrip, and an adjustment knob, wherein said adjustment know is configured to adjust a tension on said rotating handgrip.

An aqua resistance fin assembly comprises two fin components and at least one fastening member for fitting the fin components to a user's limb in a side-by-side configuration around the limb. Each fin component comprises a base adapted to fit against a user's limb and adapted to be secured to the user's limb by the fastening member, and at least two longitudinal fins and at least one lateral fin on an outer side of the base.

A limb interface device for an exercise apparatus includes a handle member within an inner frame member rotatable about a first axis with a first joint, for gripping by a user. At least one outer support member supports the inner frame member. The inner frame member is rotatable about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis with a second joint. An outer arc member supports the at least one support member. The at least one support member is rotatable about a third axis orthogonal to the second axis with a third joint. An arm member supports the outer arc member. The outer arc member can rotate about a fourth axis that is orthogonal to the third axis with a fourth joint. The arm member can also be rotatable about a fifth axis that is longitudinal to the arm member and orthogonal to the fourth axis with a fifth joint.

A running emulator for increasing an athlete's strength in the movement of specific muscles used for running includes: a lower body frame; a pair of leg assemblies movably mounted on the lower body frame and having a leg extension carrier, a leg extension member slidably mounted through the leg extension carrier, a foot cradle mounted to the leg extension member; and two leg resistance members located on an outside of the lower body frame and connected to each of the pair of leg assemblies for resisting pivoting of the leg extension carrier relative to the lower body frame. During use by an athlete, the leg assemblies pivot and the leg extension member reciprocates through the leg extension carrier such that a path travelled by the athlete's foot on the foot cradle emulates motion of a sprinter.
