An exercise device for allowing multiple exercise movements is provided. The device includes a substantially cube-shaped frame, and a unit for doing exercise movements on at least one side of the frame.

An inverted exercise assembly for provide spine exercise in an inverted position includes a base. The base has a plurality of wheels coupled to a bottom surface of the base. The plurality of wheels provides mobility to the inverted exercise assembly. A support is protruding out from the base and is in a vertical position when in use. A seat is coupled to the support and to the base. The seat provides a place where the head and the back of the user are positioned when in use. A foot rail coupled to the support provides a place for the feet of the user to rest against. A pair of hand rails is positioned adjacent to the seat and provides support when the user is using the inverted exercise assembly.

Disclosed exercise systems may include a wavelike body having at least two peaks and a trough therebetween extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis and a laterally along a widthwise axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the wavelike body including a core component and a surface component surrounding the core component, for example. In various embodiments, the wavelike body may have at least one aperture extending laterally therethrough for securing an elastic band. In some embodiments, the core component may be formed of a rigid foam, e.g., a Poly Foam, and the surface component may be formed a relatively softer foam, e.g., an EVA foam. In some embodiments a plurality of apertures for securing an elastic chord or ribbon may extend through a sidewall of the wavelike body. In some embodiments, at least one aperture may extend through the core component and the surface component.

An elastic resistance harness applies progressively stronger resistance bands onto the shoulders of a user to correct spinal alignment and improve posture. The elastic resistance harness includes an anchor plate, a support cushion, a left shoulder pad, a right shoulder pad, an elastic cord, and a plurality of eyelets. The elastic cord traverses through the anchor plate and braces the shoulders of the user. The elastic cord leverages the anchor plate to pull the users shoulders outward, thereby helping correct the user's posture. Accordingly, the anchor plate presses against the user's back. The support plate cushions the user's back against the anchor plate. Further, a left shoulder pad and a right shoulder pad cushions the shoulders against the elastic cord. The plurality of eyelets allows the elastic cord to weave through the anchor plate, thereby fastening the anchor plate to the elastic cord.

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.

An exercise device useful in the alleviation of posture- and age-related ailments, and being beneficial in the re-alignment, flexibility, and strengthening of the spine of the human torso and the body's skeletal structure, said exercise device comprising a walking staff or walking stick, being of appropriate length, and having a top or proximal end and a bottom or distal end, a protective hand-grip disposed upon the top or proximal end of said walking staff or walking stick, a protective tip disposed upon said bottom or distal end of said walking staff or walking stick, and a protective sheath covering, at minimum, the central or middle portion of said walking staff or walking stick, and an exercise method useful in the alleviation of said posture- and age-related ailments, and being beneficial in the re-alignment, flexibility, and strengthening of the spine and core musculature of the human torso and the body's skeletal structure while simultaneously serving to re-calibrate the user's center of gravity, balance and equilibrium, said method comprising the steps of positioning the elongate walking staff exercise device behind the user's neck and across the user's shoulders to lift user's chest upwardly and away from said user's pelvic region, with said user's arms being extended across said exercise device at the inner part of said user's elbows such that said user's shoulders are raised upwardly and pulled backwardly and the user's torso is lifted upwardly, while said user's forearms and hands extend across said exercise device forwardly of said user's body, and walking with said exercise device in said shoulder-mounted, arms-extended position, said walking motion providing an alternating back-and-forth motion to the user's arms, shoulders and spinal column inherent to said walking motion so as to facilitate subtle and gentle corrections to said spinal column, while stretching and strengthening the muscles of the abdominal area of said user's torso, and shortening and strengthening the muscles of the user's lumbar region of the lower back, said method also comprising the steps of performing a series of torso-twisting regimens while using said elongate walking staff or walking stick wherein an increasing amount of torque is exerted upon the spinal column of the human torso in direct proportion to the position of the user's hands along the length of said elongate walking staff or walking stick.

A posture training device is provided. The posture training device can include a belt with a body contacting portion having a body contact surface extending between a first edge and a second edge, an adjustable and releasable securing mechanism adapted to secure the posture training device around a midsection of a wearer. The posture training device can also include a vertebrae contact portion having a concave surface extending between a first end and a second end, and the concave surface can have a predetermined depth, such that the concave surface is configured to contact and support at least one vertebrae. A method of utilizing the posture training device to train the posture in a person is also provided.

A spinal treatment system includes a traction device, an exercise device adapted for imparting curvature to the lumbar or sacral spine of a user and for manipulating the spine and intervertebral discs with decompression force, and a cushion coupled to the traction device and configured to bear against one or both of a head of the user and the thoracic spine of the user. The exercise device includes a frame for placement on the floor. A pad or inflatable bladder is carried by the top surface of the frame. A body strap attachment portion encompasses the thoracic-sacral spinal vertebrae region of the user and secures the frame to the user. The cushion includes one or more pad sections or inflatable bladder sections.

An inverted exercise assembly for provide spine exercise in an inverted position includes a base. The base has a plurality of wheels coupled to a bottom surface of the base. The plurality of wheels provides mobility to the inverted exercise assembly. A support is protruding out from the base and is in a vertical position when in use. A seat is coupled to the support and to the base. The seat provides a place where the head and the back of the user are positioned when in use. A foot rail coupled to the support provides a place for the feet of the user to rest against. A pair of hand rails is positioned adjacent to the seat and provides support when the user is using the inverted exercise assembly.

The present invention relates to an exercise bench attachment that is secured to a workout bench surface via a multi-stick backing. The exercise bench attachment assists with performing chest exercises. The attachment includes shoulder grooves or openings on either sides of a spinal cord supporting portion for accommodating shoulder blades of a user lying in a supine position with the bench attachment secured between the user's neck and back, and the bench surface. The shoulder openings enable free movement of shoulder blades when performing chest exercises of moving barbells, dumbbells, or weights away and towards the chest. The device includes a neck support for providing cushion to the neck of the user. The attachment supports the back and spine, but enhances clearance and space for the shoulder blades to enable the scapula to move unrestricted.
