An abdominal exercise assembly includes a bracket that is longitudinally elongated to extend substantially across a door frame. The bracket has a pair of foot recesses each integrated into the bracket to have a respective one of a user's feet positioned in the foot recesses. A plurality of foot pads is each positioned on the bracket and each of the foot pads extends along a respective one of the foot recesses to cushion a respective one of the user's feet when the user's feet are extended into the foot recesses. A pair of clamps is each movably integrated into the bracket. Each of the clamps is movable toward or away from the bracket to engage opposite sides of the door frame for retaining the bracket in the door frame.

A core exercise apparatus having a frame. The frame has a first wall, a second wall, a frame roof, and a frame floor. A first bumper is coupled to the frame roof. A second bumper is coupled to the frame roof. A first plate is coupled to the first frame wall. A second plate is coupled to the second frame wall. An elongated handle is coupled to the frame floor. A pendulum is coupled to the first plate and second plate such that the pendulum swings from the first bumper to the second bumper and from the second bumper to the first bumper.

A harness belt system for assisting in the performance of exercises includes at least one belt member, an adjustable belt clip on at least one of two opposing ends of the belt member, and a substantially V-shaped tether having at least a top portion coupled to the belt member and a bottom end. In some embodiments, the top end of the substantially V-shaped tether couples to the belt member and forms at least an angle with the belt member ranging from 91 degrees to 158 degrees. In some embodiments, the system is configured when in use to have the bottom end of the tether tethered to a stationary object and to have the belt member in a closed position for placement of the adjustable belt clip and belt on bent legs over a front of a user's thigh or behind the user's thigh or on a user's calves.

The invention is embodied in an exercise system that can allow its user to counterbalance the effects associated with a predominantly sedentary lifestyle though a fitness device that comprises a combination of (a) supporting the lower body in a manner that permits a user's upper body to act as a third class lever with the user's hips operating as fulcrum and (b) engaging in resistance exercises with the upper body in a horizontal position, unsupported above the greater trochanter.

Disclosed herein is a resistance exercise device and methods of using the same. In one embodiment, a resistance exercise device is disclosed comprising a quarter-wheel, a means for attaching resistance to said quarter-wheel, a support means attached to the axis of the quarter-wheel, whereby a user can perform core exercise while moving in a direction parallel to the line of resistance.

The present invention is directed to a gripping handle that tightens to a hand when pulling force is applied and loosens from the hand when pulling force is not applied. The gripping handle may comprise a dowel, a first and second loop, an attachment point, and a flexible connector running from the attachment point, through the first loop, along the dowel, through the second loop, and back to the attachment point. A portion of the flexible connector running along the dowel may loop over a hand gripping the dowel and may tighten to the hand when the dowel is pulled on. The flexible connector may loosen from the hand when the dowel is no longer being pulled. The present invention additionally features an exercise device comprising the gripping handle attached by a cord running through a pulley component to a weight.

A exercise device includes: a u-shaped frame; first and second arms pivotally coupled to ends of the frame; a first pair of bands that resist pivotal movement between the u-shaped frame and each of the first and second arms; and an arm bar. The arm bar is releasably coupled proximate to the free end of each of the first and second arms. As configured the device is usable for a first set of exercises. A first end of each of a second pair of resistance bands is respectively secured in proximity to first and second ends of the arm bar. The second ends of the second pair of resistance bands have loops fixedly secured thereto. When the arm bar is not releasably secured to the first and second arms, it is usable in combination with those bands and loops for a second set of exercises, providing a full body workout.

An upper posterior development device is shown and described. The upper posterior development device includes a frame. The frame is created by a plurality of legs. The legs may be secured to one another at a bottom end for additional support. A bench is secured to the upper end of at least one of the plurality of legs. The bench may be rotatably secured to the frame such that the angle of the bench is adjustable. In this instance the bench is secured at least one different leg of the plurality of legs via an adjustment device. A pendulum movably secured to an underside of the bench. The pendulum is configured to have weight added or removed therefrom.

A workout device that allows for at home Nordic hamstring curls using a. doorframe or other immovable object is disclosed.

A method can include determining, by a head-mounted device based on first data received from a depth-sensing device included in the head-mounted device, that a first distance of the head-mounted device from a landmark is outside a completion range; outputting, based on the determination that the first distance of the head-mounted device from the landmark is outside the completion range from the landmark, an indication that a repetition has yet to be completed; determining, based on second data received from the depth-sensing device, that a second distance of head-mounted device from the landmark is within the completion range; and based on the determination that the second distance of the head-mounted device from the landmark is within the completion range, incrementing a repetition counter and outputting an indication that the repetition has been completed.
