A foot support assembly for an exercise machine may be configured for sing-hand operation (e.g., cinching or releasing of the foot strap). The foot support assembly may include a footplate coupled to the frame of the exercise machine and configured to support the user's foot during exercise and a strap coupled to the footplate and configured to resist separation of the user's foot from the footplate. The strap is operatively associated with a quick release ratchet mechanism, which is configured to be unlocked simply by pressing a lever of the ratchet to allow the ratchet strip to reverse, releasing the user's foot from the strap. The foot support assembly may be provided on each side of the seat rail of a rowing machine, which may alternatively or additionally include a multi-grip handle including a plurality of grip portions configured to position the user's hand at different orientations to one another.

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.

An abdominal exercise device includes a frame comprising top, middle, and bottom frame sections. The middle frame section has a curved shape for creating a teeter-totter movement during exercise. The device includes a headrest connected to the bottom frame section, a plurality of connectors for connecting elastic bands to the frame, and an elastic band connected to at least two connectors. The two ends of the elastic band are connected to two straps. The device creates the teeter-totter movement to exercise the abdominal muscles in response to a person lying down in supine position with the back of the head on the headrest and the feet in the two straps, the person applying a downward pressure with the feet to the straps to move the headrest from a resting position, and the person removing the downward pressure to allow the headrest to go back to the resting position.

A plank exercise assembly for performing a plank exercise includes a panel that has a curved portion that can be positioned on a support surface. A block is coupled to and extends perpendicularly away from the panel and a pair of foot pegs is coupled to and extending perpendicularly away from the block in opposite directions from each other. Each of the foot pegs has a respective one of a user's feet is positioned between the foot pegs and the panel to position the user's feet in a preferred orientation for performing a plank exercise. A pair of wedges is each coupled to the panel on an opposite side of the panel from the block. Each of the wedges has a sloped surface with respect to the panel that rests on the support surface when the panel is positioned in a ready position.

A tandem sit-up device is provided. The tandem sit-up device has two support frameworks pivotably interconnected by a pivot bar so that the device moves between a flat, operable condition and a folded, storage condition. A distal end of the support framework may provide a seat portion. The pivot bar may provide an inner disc and outer disc rotatable relative to each other for moving between the operable and storage conditions. Each disc type provides a pair of arms for a proximal end of each support framework to selectively attach to so that a distance between the associated seat portion and a foot strap supported by the pair of arms.

To provide a walking state determination apparatus that can accurately detect a walking state of a person by performing simple calculation processing. The walking state determination apparatus determines the walking state of the person (for example, whether the state of the leg during the walking training is in a swing state or a stance state), and is suitable for determining the timing to assist a trainee. The walking state determination apparatus includes a distance measurement sensor attached to a prescribed part of a lower limb of the person and a calculation unit configured to determine the walking state of the person based on a distance from the distance measurement sensor to a floor surface detected by the distance measurement sensor.

A physical therapy device with a pair of handles and one or more balance pedals. The balance pedal(s) are slidable along one or more bands attached, directly or indirectly, to the handles.

An exercise machine to facilitate a leg extension exercise by a user. A rigid frame supports a pair of spaced-apart guide rails. A foot plate assembly is adapted to move along the guide rails and includes a foot support surface at a selected angle to support a sole of a foot of the user. A wing flange extends upwardly along an inner side of the foot support surface to align the foot during extension and retraction of the foot plate assembly along the guide rails. Rollers are arranged along each side of the guide rails to support the foot plate assembly. The rollers are arranged into sets of at least three rollers including two upper rollers and at least one lower roller in a triangular configuration. At least one of the lower rollers is offset horizontally from and disposed between the at least two of the upper rollers.

A multimodal fitness bar with a bar assembly and resistance assembly is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may further include a hanging member, a weighting assembly, a toggle assembly, a furling member, and/or other components. The resistance assembly may include a flexible fabric sheet with an opening configured to receive a user's foot and the bar assembly may include handles configured to be gripped by a user.
