A device and method of exercising that is light-weight, portable, versatile and requires no assembly. The device includes a substantially rigid body portion with substantially angled ends, suitable for engagement by hands or feet of a user, or in conjunction with doors, exercise equipment or additional exercise accessories, such as resistance bands, in order to perform numerous efficient and effective exercises.

A device for physical therapy includes a base on which a sliding platform is mounted. One or more of a plurality of springs may be selected to act between the base and the platform to tailor the resistance of platform motion to a specific therapy or patient. The platform has a removable cushion with a friction inducing surface which a patient may use in conjunction with a friction inducing headband to perform various neck therapies and exercises.

The invention relates to a resistance machine, e.g., for exercising. In particular, the machine is lightweight, compact, and modular to allow for ease of transportation and storage. The multifunction machine is also capable of providing variable and high resistances for many types of weight training methods, such as powerlifting.

An exercise machine with a two directional pivoting user support assembly has a user support or platform which supports the user and pivots about a first pivot axis during an exercise movement, and is also pivotable about at least one second pivot axis to involve the user's core muscles in balancing and maintaining the user support in a stable position. A manually operable locking device with a simple flip switch lever is provided for selectively locking the user support against rotation about the second pivot axis, so that the user can easily chose whether to perform the exercise with a stable support or to add a level of difficulty by using the unstable seat mode and exercising core muscles during the exercise.

An improved exercise machine has a stationary longitudinal monorail structure that extends between front and back end stationary exercise platforms, and an exercise platform mounted on a levitated carriage that is reciprocally movable along the monorail between the stationary platforms. Magnetic elements arranged on various opposing surfaces of the carriage and monorail generate magnetic forces that levitate and stabilize the carriage as it moves relative to the monorail thus substantially eliminating contact friction. Springs selectively attachable to the movable platform provide a resistance force for exercising. Pseudo-levitation and eddy brake elements on the carriage and monorail structure further stabilize the carriage and platform.

An exercise rod for supporting an exercise elastic rope includes a supporting member rotatably sleeved on the exercise rod. The periphery of the supporting member is provided with an annular positioning groove for cooperating with a hook. An end of the exercise rod is detachably provided with a blocking member configured to prevent the supporting member from separation, a retractable blocking button is arranged adjacent to the end of the exercise rod, and the supporting member is limited between the blocking button and the blocking member. The supporting member is rotatably sleeved on the exercise rod, and the supporting member is provided with a positioning groove matched with the hook. When the hook is subjected to force, the relative movement between the hook and the supporting member is transformed into the rotation of the supporting member, thereby eliminating the sound caused by friction and collision between parts.

A handlebar device and an exercise bike are provided. The handlebar device comprises a handle assembly, an electric control clutch part, a base, a return part, and a return detection element, wherein the handle assembly comprises a handle, a pedestal and a rotating shaft, and the handle is fixedly connected to the pedestal, the rotating shaft has one end connected to the pedestal and the other end rotatably connected to the base, the electric control clutch part is connected between the rotating shaft and the base, so that the rotating shaft is fixed or rotatable relative to the base; the return part is connected between the pedestal and the base to make the base return to an initial position; and the return detection element is used to detect that the rotating shaft reaches the to-be-returned position and transmit it to the electric control clutch part.

An exercise device includes a jug including a first external cutout portion and a second external cutout portion together forming an external cutout having a cross shape in the outer surface of the jug. The jug also includes a first, second, and third handle. The exercise device is configured to allow a user's wrist and forearm to enter the cutout portions.

The present invention is directed at a novel portable fitness device used for conducting strength training exercises. The device comprises a foldable frame that can hold exercise accessories inside the device while the device is folded. The device further comprises an anti-slide plate and anchor slots wherein at least one resistance band can be locked into the anchor slots. The resistance bands may connect to handles or a bar and the resistance bands may offer up to 300 pounds of resistance. The foldable frame doubles as a carrying case.
