An exercise device includes a resilient compression member configured to be placed between inner thighs of a user and resist a compressive force from the user, and a resilient tension member comprising a grip component configured to hold the resilient tension member in place on outer thighs of the user. The resilient tension member is configured to couple to opposing sides of the compression member, form a first portion of a loop around the compression member and the outer thighs of the user, and resist a tensile force from the user. The exercise device further includes an extension member configured to connect with opposing ends of the tension member to form a second portion of the loop.

An exercise apparatus, system, or kit that includes separate components that can be used together during a workout. In one embodiment, the exercise kit includes a hub having a monolithic body portion and sleeve portions thereon. During use, only the sleeve portions contact the surface upon which the hub is located. The hub also has an annular groove formed therein and a bore formed therethrough. The kit also includes an elongated bar that is configured to interact with the hub in multiple positions to enable user to perform difference exercises. The different positions include: (1) a first exercise position wherein the elongated bar is positioned within the bore and portions of the elongated bar protrude from the first and second ends of the monolithic body portion; and (2) a second exercise position wherein the elongated bar is positioned within the annular groove.

Resistance garments are disclosed. In some embodiments, the resistance garments may include a body portion, first and second leg portions, and an elastic strap assembly secured to the body portion and the first and second leg portions. The elastic strap assembly may be configured to apply (1) a first force at the wearer's hips that urges the thighs of the wearer toward the wearer's torso, and (2) a second force at the wearer's thighs that urges the thighs of the wearer toward each other. In some embodiments, the elastic band assembly may include a belt, first and second knee bands, front elastic straps in the form of an X-shape with ends that are attached to, or formed with, the belt and knee bands, and rear elastic straps in the form of an X-shape with ends that are attached to, or formed with, the belt and knee bands.

A ballet training device configured to promote proper foot placement and aid in the development of proper strength and musculature is disclosed herein. The ballet training device may comprise a first loop coupled to a second loop at an overlap point, a resistance band coupled to a lateral portion of the first loop and to a lateral portion of the second loop, the resistance band configured to be disposed on a lateral side of a wearer's foot, and a traction mechanism disposed on at least a portion of the first loop and at least a portion of the second loop. The first loop is configured to encircle the wearer's ankle, the second loop is configured to encircle the wearer's foot, and the overlap point is configured to be disposed above the wearer's instep such that the device is generally in the shape of an infinity sign.

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.

The present invention relates to a wearable arm exerciser usable while walking and, more specifically, to a wearable arm exerciser usable for walking, including webbing belts passing from a user's chest through the user's shoulders and crossed in an X shape to fasten the overall wearable arm exerciser, left and right elastic strings coupled, in front or behind, to the webbing belts, handles coupled with the elastic strings to produce tension in the elastic strings, and a waist string, for exercising biceps, which is elastic and connected to the handles, wherein as the plurality of elastic strings and the waist string are connected to upper and lower parts, respectively, of the handles, tension may be produced by the elasticity of the waist string when the user moves up and down his arm while walking, contracting and relaxing the biceps, as well as triceps, and thus leading to a maximized upper body exercise effect.

The present invention is directed to a finger or toe exercising device. The finger or toe exercising band comprises a continuous band with no twists with a center bond that may partition the continuous band with no twists into a left loop and a right loop. The left loop and the right loop may be of equal size. The continuous band with no twists may be made of an elastic material and may be operable to exercise fingers and toes. As a non-limiting example, a left big toe may be placed within the left loop, a right big toe may be placed within the right loop, and the left big toe may be pulled away from the right big toe to provide resistance training for the toes. Other toes, fingers, and combinations thereof may be exercised in the same way.

A method of varying a resistive force applied by exercise equipment including providing a resistance band assembly for providing resistive force during the performance of an exercise. The resistance band assembly includes a housing having a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. A bore is defined in the housing and a connector is provided in the bore. The connector includes first and second surfaces and a hole is defined in the connector and extends between the surfaces. A disc is also provided in the bore and also has a first and second surface. An aperture is defined in the disc and extends between the first and second surfaces thereof. A first and second resilient member is provided and these resilient members are selectively engageable with the resistance band assembly to provide a first resistive force during the performance of an exercise.

A hands and feet pull exerciser is disclosed which characteristically includes: a transverse frame tube; two pedals, set on the transverse frame tube with a spacing, and each pedal configured with an arc-shaped guard strip; two elastic pull tubes, including pulled sections and connecting sections, wherein the connecting section is winded on the transverse frame tube and located between the two pedals, and each elastic pull tube having a nose end; two loop portions, respectively configured on the pulled section; two handles, in the form of hollow tubes, sleeved on the loop portions of the pulled sections; an elastic sleeve, having a vertical through-hole and a transverse tube insertion hole, wherein the vertical through-hole trips the periphery of the connecting section, to elastically limit the connecting section; at least one limiting piece, fit inside at least one nose end of the elastic pull tube to achieve a fixing effect.
