The present invention is an inclined apparatus for undertaking exercises for hamstring eccentric and concentric loading and in particular, but not limited to, exercises such as a Nordic Hamstring Exercise, a Russian Hamstring Exercise, and Russian curls. The inclined apparatus can be utilized for sports training and preparation, injury recovery and rehabilitation, and injury prevention. A main body of the inclined apparatus is so inclined as to ensure that a user does not hyperextend their knee and cause additional injury. A height of the higher end of the inclined apparatus above ground level in conjunction with leg restraints enables avoidance of collateral injuries which may occur when undertaking an exercise regime in a traditional form of dorsiflexion, plantarflexion, and laterally in either direction.

A glute ham developer (GHD) exercise device including a vertical post and horizontal beam. The exercise device can be a stand alone exercise device, or can include a connector for connecting the exercise device to another exercise device or exercise station.

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.

A portable full body exercise device is described. The device can be affixed inside a door jamb from either end to perform a variety of exercises and can also be used to exercise free of a door on a chair, bed, or mat. This versatile device is comprised of a handle at one end, an elastic membrane (middle portion), and a double loop/door attachment end. The design of the device allows the resistance of the elastic membrane to be altered from both ends, allowing more or less resistance to be achieved by altering the elastic membrane's overall length.

An exercise machine has a main frame which supports and includes a carriage support base, a torso carriage assembly coupled to the carriage support base, an upper torso support slidably coupled to the torso carriage assembly, an adjustable shoulder support slidably coupled to a track assembly, a foot support assembly slidably coupled to a foot support carriage, and an adjustable resistance operably connected with the shoulder support and the upper torso support.

A stretching tool includes: two spheres of identical size, each with a two-layer structure consisting of an inner shell and an elastic outer covering layer which is affixed to the surface of the inner shell and which has a hardness relatively less than that of the inner shell; and a connecting section that connects the inner shells of the two spheres so that an extended axial center line passes through the centers thereof. The spheres' exterior surfaces have ridges that have saw-blade-shaped cross-sections and extend over the extended axial center line continuously from an end section on the outermost side of each of the two spheres toward the connecting section.

An exerciser includes a frame, a movable platform disposed on the frame, the movable platform being movable between a first position and a second position, at least one weight disposable on the moveable platform in a first orientation so that the at least one weight slides between a third position and a fourth position, and a tether connected to the moveable platform to move the moveable platform from the first position to the second position. The at least one weight slides to the third position when the movable platform reaches the first position. The at least one weight slides to the fourth position when the moveable platform reaches the second position.

Provided is an exercise device for performing exercises suitable to strengthen thigh and hip muscles such as a leg press machine, a total hip, a stationary bicycle, or a moving bicycle, and more particularly provides an exercise device for strengthening thigh and hip muscles while protecting the knees and ankle joints by enabling a user to locate a lower end of an arm on the user's thighs in a sitting, prone or supine position and move the user's legs in order to minimize a load or stress added to the knee and ankle joints.

An exercise ladder has a vertical ladder frame that includes one or more wall support blocks configured to fix the vertical ladder frame against a wall that is perpendicular to a floor. The ladder frame has vertical rails on each side. Each vertical rail has a track that allows a carrier of hook and a lock to slide up on down the length of the ladder frame. An exerciser can easily change the height of the hook with a slide action that changes the height of the carrier and a locking action that locks the carrier at an adjustable height. In this way, a exerciser can perform resistance exercises with an elastic band that attach at different heights without having to disengage the elastic band from the hook.

A piece of exercise equipment particularly for improved strength training exercises. More particularly, the invention relates to equipment that allows the user to vary tension when performing different exercises. The present invention is specifically designed for improved exercise through the variability of a tension component for use in such exercises as the plank exercise, sit-ups, push-ups and supine pull-ups that includes a core support, a guide arm, a head support, and a foot support that work in conjunction to most optimally support the user. The core support, the head support and the foot support are all connected, supported, and elevated from the floor by a central support system.
