A connecting assembly designed for use with an exercise device is herein disclosed. The connecting assembly includes a ball joint linkage, a ball, and a ball joint arm. The ball joint linkage is designed to couple to a base. The ball is pivotally mounted in the ball joint linkage, with the ball joint arm extending from the ball and being designed to couple to various types of exercise equipment. The ball permits three degrees of rotational freedom movement of the ball joint arm relative to the ball joint linkage, offering a plethora of diverse exercises while increasing safety of the exercise activity.

This disclosure extends to systems, apparatus, and methods for exercising using dynamic fluid movement. In one embodiment, an assembly may have a central body formed as a closeable reservoir, with two opposite side handles. The handles may each include a rotatable grip member. The reservoir may be at least partially filled with a liquid. As user exercises, the assembly is moved while user maintains a grip on at least one grip member. The rotatable grips allow for movement of the central body while the grip is maintained. As the assembly is moved for an exercise, movement of the liquid in the reservoir provides an additional force. In one exemplary exercise, a user may hold the assembly by the opposite grips and walk or run while swinging the arms and rotating the torso back and forth. Where a cap is present, the central body may serve as a water bottle.

A comprehensive physical exercising apparatus with running exercising function and strength exercising function is provided and relates to the field of fitness equipment. The apparatus includes a base, a strength exercising unit disposed on the base, and a running exercising unit disposed on the base and used for running exercising of fitness personnel. The strength exercising unit includes a force-adjustable rotary device fixedly connected in the base and used for providing a load during the strength exercising of fitness personnel; and pulling ropes fixedly connected to the force-adjustable rotary device. During strength exercising, the fitness personnel pulls the force-adjustable rotary device through the pulling ropes. By setting the strength exercising unit and the running exercising unit, the apparatus has the functions of strength exercising and running exercising, provides the functional diversity of fitness equipment, and reduces the cost investment of family fitness equipment.

A method for retrofitting exercise machines includes removably attaching a sensor module to a moving part of an exercise machine, the sensor module being configured to detect movements of the moving part and transmit the detected data by a first wireless communication connection, placing a control module in a vicinity of yet separated from the exercise machine, the control module being configured to receive the detected data, calculate an angle value and a speed range using the detected data and transmit the angle value and the speed range by a second wireless communication connection, providing a remote cloud-based application server configured to receive the angle value and the speed range via the second wireless communication connection, verify a user, produce data packets based on the angle value, the speed range and the verified user information and transmit the data packets to a display device.

Exercise devices useful for weightlifting exercises and training are provided. More specifically, a weightlifting exercise device and system is provided for improving the grip and support of a weightlifting bar or barbell when in use. The present exercise device provides the user with a better grip on the weightlifting bar, while enabling the user to change hand positions along the weightlifting bar to vary the exercise routine or accommodate the physical requirements of the user. The weightlifting exercise device is designed to fit easily around the circumference of weightlifting bar or barbell. The present exercise device is also portable and easy to store.

An improved method of physiotherapy includes loading muscles of a torso of a user with a torque acting substantially about a vertical axis; and the user using an exercise equipment while the torso is loaded with the torque.

A Push-up Bar exercise apparatus targeting various body muscles comprising a straight rod. Each end of bar has a hand grip and adjacent to it is a wheel for enhanced stability and ease of use. The push up bar wheels is also attachable and detachable for increased portability and productivity. And also present various levels of resistant bands which are attached to opposite end of device, to increase the amount of stress of muscles for progression

An exercise apparatus for performing push-up type exercises includes an elongate planar surface with at least one transverse slot and a pair of handles movably carried in the transverse slot. The pair of handles are adapted for gripping by a user during performance of the push-up type exercise. The handles are interconnected by a resistance band for providing a selected resistance to resist a laterally outward displacement of the pair of handles during a push-up. A pair of adjustable legs support the apparatus in inclined orientation and a declined orientation, relative to a supporting ground surface. The legs may be attached by a pivot and are movable between a stowed position and an upright supporting position.

A treadmill includes a frame, an exercise deck attached to the frame, and a first handle movably attached to the frame. The first handle has a first orientation where the first handle is positioned within a region above the exercise deck and stabilized to support a user's weight during a body weight exercise, and a second orientation where the first handle is positioned away from the region above the exercise deck.
