An exercise apparatus for performing a back extension exercise comprising: a frame, a seat having a seating surface and a pelvic stabilization pad having a lower back engagement surface, an input arm assembly interconnected by a first interconnection to a first resistance mechanism, the input arm assembly including a manually graspable mechanism and being arranged on the apparatus such that the input arm assembly is pivotable beginning from a start motionless position along a path of travel toward the pelvic stabilization pad under resistance exerted by one or both of the resistance mechanisms, wherein the first resistance mechanism is adapted to increase resistance as the degree of pivoting of the input arm assembly increases along the path of travel away from the start motionless position rearwardly toward the pelvic stabilization pad.

A foam pit cover having a cover sheet with a gator clip along its perimeter, a perimeter skirt, an apron, and a plurality of toggle bungee cords. The perimeter skirt is made of primary and second sheets, the primary sheet being longer than the secondary sheet. The toggle bungee cords are configured to fit within grommets in the secondary sheet of the perimeter skirt and the bottom part of the apron. The top part of the apron is attached to the bottom part of the primary sheet of the perimeter skirt. The cover sheet and apron are made of a PVC-coated polyester material, and the perimeter skirt is made of a breathable, durable fabric. The invention optionally includes a top sheet with customized graphics and corner pieces to further secure the cover sheet to the perimeter skirt.

An exercise and rehabilitation bar including a flexing bar, at least one resistance insert, and at least one handle, The flexing bar has a first end, a second end, and a cavity running from the first end to the second end. The at least one resistance insert is removably carried within the cavity of the flexing bar and the at least one handle is removably securable to either the first or second end of the flexing bar,

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.

A method and a cushion extension for an exercise device are provided. The cushion extension includes a first portion covering a surface of the exercise device, the covered surface configured to contact the user during an exercise, a second portion extending from the first portion in a direction of the exercise, and a third portion and a fourth portion each joined to opposite ends of the first portion and each forming a method of attachment between each and the first portion.

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.

A folding exercise chair for resistance training has a collapsible chair frame, a pair of resistance mechanisms, and a padded cross-brace. The collapsible chair frame has a seat and a height-adjustable backing. The height adjustable backing is an assembly that enables a user to modify the height of the collapsible chair frame's backrest. The padded cross-brace is connected offset from the seat and across the collapsible chair frame to support the user's back and add comfort while the user is exercising. Each of the pair of resistance mechanisms is a device used to facilitate resistance training exercises. To that end, each of the pair of resistance mechanisms is positioned on either side of the collapsible chair frame.

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable biomechanics units and or resistance modules. The garment may provide resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and or tracks a variety of biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing or athletic uniform. The device may be worn as a supplemental training and or diagnostic tool during conventional training protocols, or as a biomechanics or biometric data capture device during competition.

Disclosed is a muscle specific exercise device. The device may provide passive or active resistance training throughout an angular range of motion. The device may be low profile, and worn by a wearer, such as beneath conventional clothing. Exercise of selective joints or motion of the body may thereby be accomplished throughout the wearer's normal daily activities, without the need for access to conventional exercise equipment. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training techniques.

An exercise device that exercises both flexor and extensor muscles is provided. The exercise device includes a base having a front end, a rear end, a first side and a second side. Protruding from the rear end of the base is an anchor bar. The anchor bar may be substantially perpendicular to the base. An overhead handle bar may be pivotally connected to the top of the anchor bar by a pivot point. A stationary fulcrum may be secured to opposing sides of the base. A rotating rod is secured to the stationary fulcrum and rotates about a horizontal axis running through the rotating rod and the fulcrum. A slant board is supported by and pivots about the rotating rod.
