An exercise apparatus for exercising the neck muscles with a frame and an exercise mechanism which is mounted on the frame, which can be coupled to a coupling member that can be worn on or around the head of a person who is exercising, wherein the exercise mechanism comprises a cross slide which makes available two translation axes on which a rail is mounted so as to be adjustable in height and rotatable, in such a way that, by means of the exercise mechanism, the coupling member is rotatable about three rotation axes and is movable in translation along three translation axes.

Assisted unracking of digital resistance includes detecting a state of a cable. A motor is mechanically coupled to the cable to provide resistance during an exercise by tensioning the cable. It further includes determining a readiness of the user to accept resistance based at least in part on the detected state of the cable. It further includes selectively applying resistance by the motor to the cable according to the determined readiness of the user to accept the resistance.

A physical exercise assembly includes a table that is substantially elongated to accommodate a user lying on the table. A cable support is spaced below the table and a bracket is coupled to the cable support. A plurality of pulleys is rotatably coupled to the cable support. A pair of first bands is coupled to the bracket and extends around respective ones of the pulleys. A pair of handles is each coupled to a respective one of the first bands for gripping and exercising arms. A pair of second bands is each coupled to the bracket and extends around respective ones of the pulleys. A pair of ankle straps is each coupled to a respective one of the second bands for exercising legs.

Provided is a variable exercise apparatus including a main body part that is polygonal prismatic, and includes a driving part configured to generate an exercise load, a first side frame that is arranged to be accommodated in or drawn out from the main body part, and configured to rotate with respect to the main body part when drawn out from the main body part, and a second side frame that is arranged to be symmetric with the first side frame about the main body part, wherein the first side frame includes a first handle adjustment pillar that is arranged in a vertical direction, and a first handle configured to move along the first handle adjustment pillar.

A weight arm assembly for use with a weight lifting rack is provided, the weight arm assembly including a mounting bracket configured to be attached to a vertical surface in a fixed position, an arm mount configured to be coupled to the mounting bracket so as to be pivotable about a first axis, a stop member coupled to the arm mount and configured to move between an engaged position to prevent pivoting of the arm mount through interaction with the mounting bracket, and a disengaged position to allow pivoting of the arm mount, and a weight arm configured to be coupled to the arm mount, proximate a first end of the weight arm, so as to be pivotable about a second axis substantially orthogonal to the first axis.

Assisted unracking of digital resistance includes detecting a state of a cable. A motor is mechanically coupled to the cable to provide resistance during an exercise by tensioning the cable. It further includes determining a readiness of the user to accept resistance based at least in part on the detected state of the cable. It further includes selectively applying resistance by the motor to the cable according to the determined readiness of the user to accept the resistance.

A cable support is spaced below the table and a bracket is coupled to the cable support. A plurality of pulleys is rotatably coupled to the cable support. A pair of first bands is coupled to the bracket and extends around respective ones of the pulleys. A pair of handles is each coupled to a respective one of the first bands for gripping and exercising arms. A pair of second bands is each coupled to the bracket and extends around respective ones of the pulleys. A pair of ankle straps is each coupled to a respective one of the second bands for exercising legs.

An exercise device includes a frame and a mirrored surface connected to the frame. A display is disposed within the frame and is positioned such that the display is viewable through at least a portion of the mirrored surface. The exercise device includes one or more arms rotatably attached to the frame and one or more arm motors configured to position the arms relative to the frame. One or more pull cables extend from the one or more arms, and a resistance mechanism including a motor is configured to resist movement of the pull cables.

An exercise device includes a shuttle configured to translate along a first and a second cable in response to a separation of the cables by a user. The cables may extend along first and second cable slots that extend through a shuttle housing between first and second sides of the housing. First and second pulleys may be rotatably mounted to the housing and include corresponding first and second engagement surfaces configured to engage respective the first and second cables within the respective first and second cable slots. Separation of the cable ends, proximate to the first side of the housing, relative to the first and second cable slots drives rotation of the pulleys and corresponding translation of the shuttle along the cables, away from the separating cable ends.

A resistance training system includes a tackle providing mechanical advantage, and a user performs strength training exercises by pulling or pushing on the running block while resisting motion of the running block by pulling or pushing on the free end of the runner. The running block, fixed block and free end of the system may be secured at various locations of the body.
