An exercise accessory includes a load bearing element. It further includes a haptic actuator. In response to an indication of an event pertaining to a load on the load bearing element, the haptic actuator is configured to generate a vibration pattern corresponding to the event. Different events are associated with different vibration patterns.

A squat rack includes a frame, a tread unit, a lifting unit, a pulling unit and a connector. The tread unit includes two treads connected to and located on two sides of the frame for supporting a user's feet so that the frame is firmly kept on the ground by the user. The lifting unit is pivotally connected to the frame and located behind the user in operation. The pulling unit includes a middle portion pivotally connected to a front end of the frame. The connector pivotally connects a lower end of the pulling unit to the lifting unit so that the user can pull the pulling unit to cause the lifting unit to support the user's hips via the connector.

An exercise support frame system includes a lower base assembly able to rest on the ground and an upper frame assembly able to surround a user standing on the lower base. A horizontal bar is disposed within the upper frame above the user, and may either be used as a pull-up bar, or may support various implements useful for various arm lift interfaces. The upper frame has left and right vertical supports, which are affixed to the base via a pair of pins passing through each support. The pins are modular and permit the upper frame to pivot upon the base when only one pin is passed through each vertical support, enabling conversion of the exercise support frame between deployed and stowage configurations.

An exercise cable handle assembly is disclosed comprising a locking mechanism including a handle base and a flexible retaining clip. The handle base comprises a cable opening and two side clamps defining a locking channel. The two side clamps comprise gradated edges. The flexible retaining clip is U shaped and comprises at least one curved hook end configured to engage with the gradated edge when the flexible retaining clip is positioned in the locking channel. The exercise cable handle assembly further comprises a segment of an exercise cable comprising a tapered plug along the segment of cable and a handle frame coupled to the handle base. The locking mechanism secures the segment of the exercise cable to the handle base when a portion of the tapered plug is positioned in the cable opening and the flexible retaining clip partially surrounds the tapered plug when positioned in the locking channel.

An exercise machine with electromagnetic resistance selection for changing exercise resistance settings by engaging more or fewer resistance biasing members using a electromagnets. An example implementation includes a movable carriage configured to move substantially along the length of one or more rails. A plurality of resistance biasing members are removably attachable between a stationary biasing member bracket affixed to the machine structure and the movable carriage. A controller changes the resistance settings against the movable carriage by electrically attaching or detaching any preferred number of resistance biasing members between the machine structure and movable carriage.

An exercise device that effectively targets and engages the abdominal and core muscles. The device includes a backrest, a first graspable pole, a second graspable pole, a height-adjustable headrest, and a rocking base. The rocking base acts as the supporting structure and includes a first rocker, a second rocker, and a bridge. The first rocker and the second rocker are connected to the bridge on either side. The backrest receives a user's back and is adjacently and pivotably mounted to the bridge, opposite the first rocker and the second rocker. The first graspable pole and the second graspable pole are positioned opposite to each other across the backrest. The first graspable pole and the second graspable pole are each laterally and rotatably mounted to the backrest. The height-adjustable headrest is centrally mounted in between the first graspable pole and the second graspable pole to receive the user's head.

The present system relates generally to a piece of exercise equipment that may be used to assist in the performance of the plank exercise along with a method of using the same. The system includes various embodiments that include horizontal bars with cushions that are supported at one or more vertical heights. A person may rest a portion of their body on the cushions of the horizontal bars so as to alleviate a portion of the weight associated with performing the plank exercise and to help provide balance and stability while performing the exercise.

An exercise device that exercises both flexor and extensor muscles. The exercise device includes a base. First and second sidewalls upwardly extend from opposing sides of the base. Each of the first and second sidewall has a plurality of teeth formed on an upper rim extending from the front end to the rear end of the base. At least a first gear is secured to a first end of an elongated rod and at least a second gear is secured to a second end of the elongated rod. A plurality of teeth of the first gear interlock with the plurality of teeth of the first sidewall and a plurality of teeth of the second gear interlock with the plurality of teeth of the second sidewall. A board rests on the elongated rod in between the first end and the second end.

A machine for concurrently or independently performing pressing motions with the hands and feet, the machine having a base having front and back ends, two or more linear slide rails, a lower body user support with an engagement means for the user's feet and an upper body user support with an engagement means for the user's hands. The upper body user support and lower body user support slide on the linear rails that are located proximally on opposing ends of the base frame and the upper body user supports and the lower body user supports cooperate with one another to move in opposing converging and diverging sloping linear movement patterns during operation of the machine.

An exercise device for use by persons with limited strength or mobility includes a a frame member situated in an interior area of a body member. First and second upper appendages are coupled to and extend away from upper left right regions of the body member. First and second lower appendages are coupled to and extend away from lower left right regions of the body member. A top appendage may extend away from a top region of the body member. A tension member, such as a tension spring, is situated inside each appendage and is configured to be selectively bent, extended, or otherwise manipulated and is resilient to return to an unbent and retracted configuration. Movement of respective tension members enables a person to exercise, experience the touch sensation, and have feelings of pleasure and enjoyment. A magnet attached to the frame member attracts other magnetic or metal items.
