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.

A method for exercising muscles in an ankle, foot, and/or leg of a user includes positioning a foot of a user onto a first body of an exercise device. The first body is spaced away from a second body of the device and pivotably connected to the second body of the device at a pivot axis. The pivot axis is adjacent to a central portion of the first body. The method includes rotating the first body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a first resistive force. Rotating the first body includes subjecting the foot to a first motion. The method includes positioning the foot onto the second body. The method includes rotating the second body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a second resistive force. Rotating the second body includes subjecting the foot to a second motion, the second motion being different than the first motion.

An exercise chair allows a user to obtain physical exercise at his or her desk or other workplace. An exemplary exercise chair may include a frame, including a base, an angled section angled upward from the front of the base, and a back support extending upward from the rear of the base; a seat support rotatably connected to the angled section; and at least one resistance element connected to a rear portion of the seat support and to the back support.

An exerciser has a frame, a driving assembly, a damping assembly, and a linkage assembly. The frame has a base and a rear supporting rod. The driving assembly is mounted on the frame and has two swinging rods, two sprockets, two chains, and two resilient members. The swinging rods are connected to the rear supporting rod. The two sprockets are mounted rotatably on the rear supporting rod. The two chains are respectively engaged with the two sprockets. The two resilient members are connected respectively to the chains. The damping assembly is mounted on the rear supporting rod and is connected to the driving assembly to provide a damping effect to the two sprockets. The linkage assembly is connected between the base of the frame and the two swinging rods to allow the two swinging rod to respectively swing in reverse directions.

An exercise chair includes a chair frame, and a base fixed with the chair frame that is adapted to support the exercise chair on a floor surface. The base and chair frame have a plurality of anchors projecting away therefrom. A cushion may cover at least a portion of the frame. Multiple resistance bands each have multiple longitudinal slots therethrough, each adapted for selective fixing with any of the anchor knobs or several attachable exercise devices. In use, with the person seated in the chair and the chair resting on the support surface, one or two of the resistance bands can be fixed with any of the anchor knobs, so that the person can exercise by pushing and/or pulling the at least one resistance band. Different types of attachments are included for exercising varying muscle groups.

A hydraulic resistance exercise apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a frame adjustably supporting at least one drum body. One of an arm bar and a leg bar pivotally attached to the at least one drum body. A hydraulic vane cylinder is carried in each the at least one drum body. The hydraulic vane cylinder has one or more hydraulic channels and at least one vane coupled to one of the arm bar and the leg bar, such that operation of one of the arm bar and the leg bar urges a hydraulic fluid contained within the hydraulic vane cylinder under a resistance by passage of the hydraulic fluid through the one or more hydraulic channels.

An exercise machine using motion sensor to track exercise, comprising: an exercise equipment, including a mainframe, the mainframe is fixed and won't be moved by user's movement, an operating mechanism, the operating mechanism is arranged on the mainframe and it will follow the movement of the user; wherein the operating mechanism having a motion sensor, inside the motion sensor having a multiple-axis tracking sensor module and a first microprocessor for detecting the height displacement of the operating mechanism and transmitting the height displacement signal to an electronic control device, then processing by a second microprocessor arranged inside the electronic control device to know whether the motion track of the user reach the preset position during exercise to ensure the effect of exercising.

A neck exercise apparatus includes a neck lever pivotably attached to a channel member. The neck lever has a head portion in front of the channel member. The neck lever is selectively movable along the channel member and the neck lever pivots about a pivot point that is located behind the channel member. The neck lever includes a weight attachment element configured to receive incremental additions of weight.

A cycling device used for exercise and/or rehabilitation includes a shaft for grasping by a user, a foot assembly coupled to the shaft and configured to be supported on a surface, and a pedal assembly coupled between the shaft and the foot assembly. The cycling device is intended to be used by a seated user.

Presented is an exercising apparatus capable of capable of being used by a user for performing a variety of physical exercises. The exercising apparatus includes a handle, a mounting assembly, a clamp assembly and an arm extension assembly. The arm extension assembly includes multiple telescopically nestable arms. At least one telescopically nestable arm includes a weight attachment portion such that a user can lift weight attached to the weight attachment portion of the arm extension assembly by moving the handle. The mounting assembly is configured to allow rotation of the arm extension assembly in at least one direction. The exercising apparatus is collapsible and could be easily assembled and disassembled and installed at multiple locations depending on the user's requirements.
