EXERCISE SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A workout device that allows for at home Nordic hamstring curls using a. doorframe or other immovable object is disclosed.
RIGGING SYSTEM FOR SUSPENSION EXERCISE TRAINING
A rigging system is configured for selective attachment to a fixed-point mount (e.g., a beam, a bar, or a door jamb), typically located at a position above the user's head. A handle on the opposite end of the rigging system hangs from this fixed point and is grasped by the user to support a portion of the user's weight while the user performs resistance exercises against a reduced portion of the user's body weight. In some configurations, the fixed point may be a doorjamb above the top of a door. A height adjustment buckle of the rigging system is designed to be positioned generally distal from a structure forming the handle during use of the rigging system.
Exercise Apparatus
An exercise apparatus configured to combat postural maladaptations is provided. The exercise apparatus includes a rigid central spherical body having a channel passing through the center thereof through which a resilient band may be passed. The resilient band is removable and may be made of any suitable resilient material, such as, for example, a rubber material. The central spherical body may be formed of any suitable rigid or semi-rigid material that resists deformation.
Apparatus for upper body movement
There is provided an apparatus for upper body movement. The apparatus comprises a H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; two motors for driving the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism; and a manipulandum coupled to the H-shaped cable-driven mechanism for independent movement along x and y axes.
EXERCISE MACHINE
The present disclosure relates to an exercise machine for performing a gymnastic exercise, comprising a first exercise device, in turn comprising at least one first cable, and at least one first handle, coupled to said first cable, to allow a user to perform a gymnastic exercise, and a second exercise device, in turn comprising at least one second cable, and at least one second handle, coupled to said second cable, to allow the user to perform a gymnastic exercise, said exercise machine further comprises a first actuator, connected to said first cable, for exerting a drive or resistant torque on said first cable, a second actuator, connected to said second cable, for exerting a drive or resistant torque on said second cable, and a logic control unit, connected to said first actuator and said second actuator, for adjusting said drive or resistant torque.
User interface system for an interactive exercise machine
A user interface for an interactive exercise system includes a display module held by a mechanical support system, with the display module able to display a video of a trainer. The trainer can be presented in full body view against a black background and a mirror element attached to at least partially cover the display module.
Modular resistance force system
A modular resistance force system includes an axle configured to be rotatable around a rotational axis and one or more resistance mechanisms. Each of the one or more resistance mechanisms includes a resistance element disposed about a portion of the axle, a resistance element housing configured to house the resistance element and a resistance substance disposed between the resistance element and the resistance element housing. Either the resistance element or the resistance element housing is selectively engaged to rotate with the axle. A resistance between the resistance element and the resistance substance causes a force to be applied to the axle when the resistance element and the resistance element housing move relative to each other.
MOVABLE CONSOLE
A console for an exercise device includes a translational mechanism and a rotational mechanism. During operation, a component of the exercise device may prevent rotation or at least partially obscure the user's view of the display. The translational mechanism may move the console out of the way of the component so that the console may be moved and the display visible to the user when performing an exercise activity while dismounted from the exercise device.
FACTORY WORKOUT APPARATUS
The present disclosure provides novel exercise apparatuses and methods of using the same.
Devices and method for increasing running performance
A running device and method of using the device are disclosed. The device may include a moveable material within an inner chamber of the running device's housing. In operation, a running device may be held in each hand and the runner may thrust both hands downward prior to landing and quickly bring the devices to a vertical stop after landing. Bringing the devices to a vertical stop may cause the moveable material to collide with the housing and increase the force exerted by the runner on the ground. A delay component may delay the peak force exerted by the material against the housing so that the translation of that force to the ground coincides with the peak force that the runner would have exerted against the ground in the absence of the devices.
