The present specification discloses an exercise system comprising a stable support purchase, such as a ballet barre, and an unstable support apparatus, such as a ball or a roller, wherein an individual may support a limb on the unstable support apparatus and selectively contact the stable support purchase for balance while performing an exercise, such as a ballet position, and an associated method comprising the steps of positioning at least one limb on the unstable support apparatus and simultaneously performing the exercise.

An exercise device having a unique asymmetrical shape with rounded ends of differing radii to provide stability and added resistance.

An exercise assist tool is used together with an exercise tool used in a supine or seated state, and the exercise assist tool includes a body-axis indicator that allows a user to be conscious of a body axis. The body-axis indicator has a longitudinal direction, and is supported such that the longitudinal direction can be disposed along a craniocaudal axis of the user. The body-axis indicator is a rod member supported so as to be disposed along a craniocaudal axis of the user. The body-axis indicator includes a proximal-side indicator provided in front of a face of the user, and a distal-side indicator provided farther from the user than the proximal-side indicator. The proximal-side indicator is configured to be capable of adjusting a distance from the user.

A multipurpose workout chair is an exercising equipment that not only can be used for workout training, but also can be used as a chair. The multipurpose workout chair includes adjustment devices and other components acting with each other which allows the multipurpose purpose chair to be changed into various configurations according to different training methods and each of the training methods may be executed by one or more different muscles.

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.

A device for applying a tensile force to a hinged joint is disclosed. The device may include a bracket having a first portion and a second portion insertable underneath a weighted object so as to restrain the device, a biasing element having a first end mounted toward a first end of the first portion and a second end arranged at an opposing second end of the first portion; and a strap removably attached to the second end of the biasing element and arranged to receive the hinged joint, wherein the biasing element applies a tensile force to the hinged joint so as to stretch the hinged joint longitudinally in response to a force exerted by the hinged joint upon receipt in the strap, and wherein the biasing element applies the tensile force to the hinged joint so as to passively stretch and relieve pressure on the ankle.

A physical stretching apparatus having: an anchor strap, wherein the anchor strap is configured to be operable for attaching the apparatus to any stationary object; an anchor joint, the anchor joint is configured to attach the anchor strap and a rope implement; an elastic looped strap configured to secure the apparatus to various points on a user; an attachment contrivance, wherein the attachment contrivance is configured to be operable for attaching the elastic looped strap to the rope implement; a rope lock that is configured to permit the rope implement to pass in one direction when pulled and restricts the rope implement from passing in an opposite or reverse direction; a release mechanism that disables this restriction; and a sliding restrainer, wherein the sliding restrainer is configured to be operable for adjusting a size of the looped strap.

The present disclosure provides a portable anchor system comprised of a modular and foldable frame structure which folds down to a compact shape having a storage compartment with a pair of wheels. When unfolded for use, the anchor system is shaped such that a user's weight always provides a counterbalance to forces exerted during exercise, removing the need for added weight or a structure to affix the anchor system to. The standalone apparatus provides a wide variety of horizontal, vertical, and ground level anchor points and has horizontal bars which can be mounted at different vertical heights to suit a user's needs for various exercises. The storage compartment is used to store exercise apparatus as well as pieces for the portable anchor system. A kit is also provided herein, the kit comprising the anchor system, a novel resistance band apparatus, and one or more items capable of being stored within the storage compartment.

An exercise machine with multiple contact surfaces for providing secondary exercise support platforms positioned at various planes relative to the horizontal plane of the primary exercising platforms, the secondary platforms further serving as handles used during the performance of exercises. The exercise machine with multiple contact surfaces generally includes a frame, a carriage movably attached to the rail, and a first support structure and a second support structure attached to the frame near the first end. The support structures each include one or more platforms having an upper surface that is positioned above the base plane of the carriage.
