An exercise apparatus includes an elongated support element extending between first and second ends. The support element has a mounting member located at each of the first and second ends to engage with a door or wall surface and mount the support element thereto. A resistance-generating assembly includes a stationary member attached to the support element. A displaceable member is mountable to the support element and displaceable therealong relative to the stationary member. A resilient member is removably mountable between the stationary and displaceable members. The resilient member generates resistance upon being elastically deformed by displacement of the displaceable member relative to the stationary member. A pulley is mounted to the displaceable member and displaceable therewith, and another pulley is mounted to the support element. A hand-operable cable engages the pulleys to effect displacement of the displaceable member relative to the stationary member. A method is also disclosed.

A muscular training tension band for equestrian riding has an elastic body and a shoulder guard. In use, the elastic body is worn and stretched between a wearer's shoulder and contralateral foot, with the shoulder guard positioned on the shoulder. The tension band functions to recruit correct engagement of a horseback rider's postural stabilizing muscles in order to find a functionally effective and balanced pelvis in the saddle, while also protecting the spine and decreasing the risk of repetitive force related injuries.

A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.

An exercise apparatus including two straps where each strap includes a first end and a length. The first end being configured to be received by a supporting structure. Each strap including a plurality of loops along its length where each loop is sized and configured to removably support a free weight. The straps and placement of the free weight allowing a user to perform various exercises in a horizontal direction.

Connecting straps, for use for example in sports activities, include (a) a sleeve of webbing having a first end and a second end and having a loop at each end, each loop having a base and a free end, (b) disposed within the sleeve of webbing, a band of elastic material extending in a continuous loop, and (c) an attachment strap, adjacent each loop, configured to secure a portion of the band to the webbing at the base of each loop. In some cases, the band has a solid, polygonal cross-sectional shape.

The invention relates to the technical field of exercise resistance bands, and particularly to an exercise resistance band with silicone massage dots, which enables massage at the time of fitness and is convenient to wear, and has the advantages of improving the storage effect and reducing the occupied area after storage. The exercise resistance band comprises an elastic band, a hook-and-loop fastener and two elastic pull-up bands, wherein multiple sets of protruding silicone massage dots are adhered and fixed to an inner side of the elastic band, the hook-and-loop fastener comprises a hook and a loop, and the two elastic pull-up bands are respectively fixed on left and right sides of the elastic band.

An exercise accessory may be a component of a leg lift exercise system assembly. The exercise accessory may be useful for a user to hold themselves up by the arms to perform leg lifts, among other exercises. The accessory has an angular adjuster to allow a user to adjust the positioning of his or her forearms during the exercise. The angular adjuster has a cage which can attach to and suspend from an overhead bar, and an apertured base having radial tines. An indexer may be able to rotatably index to and rest within the radial tines. Rotating the indexer when tension is not applied to the system allows the user to adjust angular positioning. From the indexer and through the aperture an arm support is suspended.

A sand training bag for sand and/or mineral training in an open and closed configuration. The sand pit training bags includes a sand pit training bag configuration comprising at least one fastener and at least one overlaying fabric around the perimeter to open flat on a surface. The sand training bag includes attachable wall structure, wherein the surface attachable wall structure is configured with a sand pit training bag in an open configuration visible relative to a sand or mineral pit held by one or more fasteners. The sand training bag includes a single sand pit training bag, wherein the single sand pit training bag is convertible to a single sand pit with at least one attachable perimeter wall around the perimeter of the open sand or mineral receiving surface configuration, wherein a top cover is configured to be viewed as a sand or mineral pit closed configuration. In one embodiment, the number of sand training bags with at least one attachable perimeter removably attached to another sand training bag is unlimited.

A physical therapy device includes one or more balance pedals. The balance pedals are slidable along one or more resistance bands.
