A resistance adjusting apparatus is disposed on a frame and has a rotating member, a magnetic resistance member, and a wind resistance member. The rotating member has an axle rotatably disposed on the frame, an assembly seat fixedly disposed on the axle, and a magnetic wheel detachably disposed on the assembly seat. The magnetic resistance member is disposed on the frame, is located out of the magnetic wheel, and has an adjusting seat disposed on the frame and multiple magnetic elements. The magnetic wheel is inserted into an inner space of the adjusting seat. The magnetic elements are disposed in the adjusting seat and are located in the inner space of the adjusting seat. The wind resistance member is detachably disposed on an outer surface of the magnetic wheel. The wind resistance member and the magnetic resistance member are independent and can be detached individually.

This invention discloses a climbing machine. Without being limited by the structure of the climbing assembly, the upper limbs and the lower limbs of the user can have different moving paths. In addition, the climbing machine also has the advantages of rapid response, wide range of resistance adjustment, and smooth operation.

A system to facilitate stretching for a user, including a force-applying component and a subject-engaging surface, such that the force applying element is attached to a first end of a rotatable element that rotates about a first point of secured support, or fulcrum, and the subject engaging surface is operatively connected to a second end of said rotatable element, such that application of force via the force-applying component causes rotational movement of the subject-engaging surface toward the user.

An exercise machine assembly provides a fluid-based resistance force and allows a user to exert a force against the resistance force. A fluid displacement device is coupled to the exercise machine assembly and rotatably driven by the force exerted by the user. A fluid container has a hollow body enclosing the fluid displacement device, allowing for the fluid displacement device to rotate therein, and encloses a fluid. The fluid container includes an inner reservoir and an outer reservoir that cause the fluid-based resistance force to vary based on amounts of fluid in the inner and outer reservoirs, respectively. Further, the inner reservoir has one or more openings through which fluid can flow from either of the inner reservoir or the outer reservoir to the other.

Exercise equipment, particularly a linear movable structure and associated selectable elastic resistance bands with or without guide track members are designed to allow low-impact exercises for one or two persons at the same time while permitting either or both participants to remain stationary when utilizing the equipment.

A stationary exercise machine according to the present disclosure may include a frame, a crankshaft rotatably supported by the frame, first and second lower linkages, and first and second crank arms connected to opposite sides of the crankshaft such that rotation of either of the crank arms causes rotation of the crankshaft. The lower linkages may be operatively connected to the crankshaft and to a respective one of first and second pedals. Each of the lower linkages may include a reciprocating member operatively connecting one of the pedals with one of the crank arms. Each of the lower linkages may include an adjustable linkage connected between the reciprocating member and the respective crank arm, the adjustable linkage may vary a distance between an output end of the reciprocating member and an input end of the crank arm. Each of the pedals may be pivotally connected to the respective reciprocating members.

The present invention is comprised of a frame having two upright side members. The upright side members are linked at their bottom end by a cross member. There may also be an upper member across the top end of the upright side members. A user of the device should preferably assume a sitting posture when initiating an exercise routine involving the device. At the start of the exercise, the user takes hold of both upright members and places one or both feet on the cross member. The user then elevates the foot or feet that is resting on the cross member off the floor by tensing muscles of the abdomen and lower back.

A weight horn is supported on a bearing housing that slides along two vertical guide rails. The upper and lower ends of the vertical guide rails are connected to tubular sleeves that slide along horizontal guide rails, which are enclosed by a rectangular frame. A roller pad extends from the opposite side of the weight horn, perpendicular to the horizontal guide rails and over a platform containing an adjustable seat, calf support and foot pads. The weight lifter performs the movement by standing upright with his/her legs positioned between the calf support and foot pads, wrapping his/her arms around the roller pad, and squatting onto the seat. The combination of vertical and horizontal guide rails allows the weighted roller pad to travel a curved path downward and backward as the lifter descends into the squat position. The dual rail configuration for both the vertical and horizontal guide rails prevents jamming of the mechanisms if the weight lifter twists his/her torso during the squat.
