The device as disclosed herein is simple and easy to use, and inexpensive to produce. It provides a good calf workout from home for the calf and lower leg. It comprises a foot baseplate having a lower curved surface or frame, a series of straps to attach the user's foot to the baseplate and an attachment point for a resistance band.

An exercising assembly for fitness training and rehabilitation includes a first base, which is positionable on a substantially horizontal surface. An engagement module is selectively engageable to the first base so that the engagement module is positioned proximate to a first end of the first base. A plurality of attachment elements is engaged to the first base, the engagement module, and to a plurality of tensioners. The attachment elements are selectively mutually couplable. A plurality of first interface elements is selectively engageable to the engagement module. Respective attachment elements of the plurality of attachment elements are engaged to each of the first interface elements. Respective tensioners thus are extendable between a respective first interface element and one or more of the first base and the engagement module. The respective tensioners provide resistance to the user moving the first interface elements.

Disclosed is an elastic exercise strap with a gripping portion that merges into a loop or aperture. The strap can be connected to a sports helmet by threading the extended gripping portion around a part the helmet and then inserted through the loop or aperture. By pulling on the attached strap the neck muscles can be exercised.

A collapsible and portable dip apparatus may be structurally configured for use with one or more resistance bands for adjusting the intensity of exercises. Specifically, a dip apparatus according to the present teachings may include side structures that are pivotable towards a central support structure to reduce a footprint of the dip apparatus, e.g., for storage. Further, the side structures may include support bars that are structurally configured for engagement with a resistance band, where the support bars are located below gripping bars of the dip apparatus. To this end, the present teachings include an exercise system featuring the aforementioned dip apparatus and resistance bands, where a user can engage a resistance band with each of the side structures of the dip apparatus such that a user can place his/her knees on the resistance band for support when performing a dip exercise.

An adjustable resistance band for exercise or physical therapy apparatus including a webbing hook component, strap and slots with openings for adjustability in which the band is easily secured around the user's legs or torso by placing the webbing hook in one of the loop openings.

An exercise apparatus having an upper body portion and a lower body portion, the upper and lower body portions positionable in a substantially horizontal position to accommodate a user in a kneeling position. A connector connects the upper and lower body portions. First and second resistant members are attached to the one or both of the upper and lower body portions. The body portions can be movable between a closed folded position and an open position.

Accessories that are attachable to fitness equipment may be used to allow users to move the attachment quickly and easily from one position to another by removing the accessory or sliding it along a vertical or horizontal upright that forms part of the fitness equipment or rack. The accessories may come in many forms so that various exercises may be carried out using the accessories on the same fitness equipment or rack.

A stretch band or cord exercise apparatus comprises a flat planar base having a plurality of connection elements around a portion of a perimeter thereof. Stretch bands, bungee cords, or other similar stretch cord or band, may be attached, hooked, tied to, or otherwise disposed on one or more of the plurality of connection elements and utilized for one or more exercises by a user standing on or adjacent to the apparatus. The apparatus may be disposed on a floor, or may be attached to a different horizontal surface, such as a raised platform, a table, or even a ceiling, or may be attached to a vertical surface. Methods of using the same are further provided.

A portable, wearable resistance band training apparatus having at least one resistance device secured in a channel of a strap portion forming shoulder straps, and a plurality of access openings in the shoulder strap portion for grasping and extending the resistance device from the sleeve for performing one or more resistance training exercises.

Interactive/smart resistance band training systems include one or more resistance bands connected to a force sensing unit that registers the force exerted by a user on handles connected to the bands. The sensing unit operates effectively regardless of whether the user is training with one handle individually, or with two handles being pulled in parallel or non-parallel directions. The systems may correct the force readings to account for non-alignment between the force-measurement axis of the force sensing unit and the directions in which the user applies force to the resistance bands. The systems may guide a user through exercise sessions tailored to the fitness level of the user; may display the force readings, calories burned, and other performance parameters and goals on a continuous, real-time basis; may summarize the result of the exercise session; and may recommend subsequent exercise sessions based on the performance of the user.
