An adaptable exercise apparatus for assisting individuals with reduced physical abilities, whether due to injury or age, perform a range of low impact exercises and stretches to the best of their ability given their physical condition. The apparatus comprises a plurality of ergonomically shaped stackable exercise platforms allowing for variable height adjustment and a variety of strength compensating features specially adapted to integrate with the stackable exercise platforms and assist the performance of the individuals.

A computer-implemented method for displaying a predetermined sequence of exercise routines is provided. The method includes receiving a light sequence for the predetermined sequence of exercise routine from an application interface of a user device. The method further includes triggering one or more light emitting elements of a set of light emitting elements disposed on an exercising mat and detecting a movement on one or more touch buttons of a set of touch buttons on the exercising mat. The method includes determining a state of each of the corresponding one or more touch buttons upon detection of the movement. Furthermore, the method includes activating a debounce mechanism to delay in illuminating next one or more light emitting elements of the set of light emitting elements based on the state and displaying the light sequence on the exercising mat for guiding a user for performing the predetermined sequence of exercise routines.

A support panel that may provide a platform to perform, for example, for at least one of physical therapy, yoga, or Pilates exercises, is provided. The support panel includes a rigid board having a first side and a second side, which may be formed from composite materials. The support panel is configured to be placed onto a compressible surface. A padding layer is attached to the first side of the rigid board. A cover is wrapped around the padding layer and at least a portion of the second side of the rigid board. The cover may be removable. A method of using the support panel for exercises is also provided.

The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus with a mobility mat and an orthopedic device. The mobility mat can have a plurality of segments with a plurality of assistive features such as hand holds, foot holds, and a contoured cushion. The mobility mat can be configured to couple with the orthopedic device. The orthopedic device can have an inclined face and a plurality of remaining faces including various additional assistive features.

A foot-based massage apparatus includes a base member having a first end portion and a second end portion opposite the first end portion. A top surface of the base member has a generally rectangular configuration. A first connector member is coupled to the first end portion, and a second connector member is coupled to the second end portion. A flexible member is coupled to the first connector member and the second connector member. When tension is applied to the flexible member, the flexible member supports a massage practitioner providing a foot-based massage. A first gripping member and a second gripping member are coupled to the base member. The first gripping member and the second gripping member restrict movement of the base member relative to a supporting surface.

A yoga towel is for use in conjunction with a suitable mat or converter that allows an existing mat to be retrofitted to be used with the present yoga towel. The yoga towel has one or more magnets and/or metal attached, advantageously to its perimeter and/or with a center portion of the towel. A suitable surface such as a yoga mat will have a complementary metal and/or magnet so that when the yoga towel is placed on the yoga mat, the yoga towel through magnetic forces (i.e. attraction) is held in place. Advantageously, in one form, the magnets and/or metal are strips in the yoga towel and/or yoga mat are in the form of flexible strips of magnetic material and/or metal.

An assembly, in one embodiment, compromising an exercise mat having a top layer and a bottom layer, and a towel is described. The top layer of the exercise mat is configured to have a first exposed surface. The towel comprises a first surface and second surface, the first surface configured to be coupled to the first exposed surface of the top layer of the exercise mat, the surface area of the towel being less than or equal to a surface area of the top surface of the exercise mat.

Disclosed herein are devices, systems and methods for redistributing the normal weight distribution of a user in a standing position. One example is a postural platform for either the left or right foot having a bottom surface defining a reference plane, a top surface configured as a foot contact surface and a perimeter side wall between the bottom and top surfaces. The top surface is rotated about a first rotational axis parallel to the reference plane and rotated about a second rotational axis orthogonal to the reference plane. In another example, a system includes first and second postural platforms that are independent of one another. In other examples, the device is a sandal, shoe, sneaker or any foot covering with a tops surface being at a complex angle to a bottom surface.

The present invention is stickers for exercise mats, such as those commonly used in yoga or pilates. These mat stickers are available in a multitude of geometric shapes and adhere to the mats via an acrylic surface. A preferred thickness for the mat stickers is approximately 1.5 mm, which provides a sufficient grip for the practitioner, but is thin enough to roll into the mat at the conclusion of the exercise.

A modular, portable, multi-purpose workout system is easily transported and reconfigured for different standing and seated workouts. The system at least includes a platform, a seat with a backrest, and a pair of variable resistance modules, each including an outwardly extending cable that is pulled by a user. For standing workouts, at least one of the variable resistance modules is coupled to a platform, and a user pulls up on the cable while standing on the platform. For seated exercises, at least one of the variable resistance modules is coupled to the backrest of the seat, and the cable is pulled outwardly and toward a seated user. The variable resistance modules are coupled to the platform or the backrest of the seat using elongated rigid members. The variable resistance cables may be pulled with separate handles or pulled simultaneously with a barbell component forming part of the system.
