The present invention relates to an exercise aid device which is placed over top of a user's foot. The exercise aid device has a base, a raised backing, and two sidewalls positioned about opposing sides of one another. The two sidewalk extend towards one another at the front end of the base, forming a band which provides for a first opening. A foot may be placed through the first opening, and held securely in place by the combination of the band and the raised backing. An exercise band may be looped through an opening which extends from one sidewall to the opposing sidewall and through the base, or may be affixed to the device by a securement placed on the exterior of the device to attach resistance cables such that the exercise aid device serves as an anchoring unit during exercise routines.

A stationary bicycle is described having walking pole attachments for a pair of walking poles. The walking pole attachments are mechanisms that are attachable and mountable to one or more parts of a handlebar of a stationary bicycle in order to store the walking poles on the stationary bicycle. The walking poles can be mounted and stored vertically on either side of the handlebar of the stationary bicycle or can be mounted and stored horizontally on top of the handlebar of the stationary bicycle so as to be easily accessible to the user of the stationary bicycle while the user is seated on the stationary bicycle and is pedaling. Further, exercises are described that highlight various manners of exercising on the stationary bicycle while using the walking poles in a new form of exercise called pole-biking. Further, attachment mechanisms are attachable to the stationary bicycle for a resistance band.

A portable multi-exercise device includes a pair of parallel tracks each being elongate and linear. The exercise device includes a pair of band attachment platforms positioned across the parallel tracks respectively proximate to ends of the parallel tracks, the band attachment platforms having at least two laterally spaced apart resistance band attachment structures and themselves being laterally positioned along the parallel tracks. Each band attachment platform may include a set of three spaced apart planks defining a slot therebetween in which band fasteners are positioned. The exercise device includes a pair of step platforms atop which a user stands when grasping resistance bands during exercise, the step platforms being laterally adjustable along the parallel tracks. The exercise device includes a rowing bar coupled to the pair of parallel tracks intermediate the band attachment platforms and having fasteners for attachment to the resistance bands.

An exercise system includes a resistance unit for the performance of a wide variety of exercises including those previously performed using free weights, exercise machines, rowing machines, and/or ski machines. The resistance unit is configured with power rewind such that the resistance for both pull-out and rewind is determined by the resistance developed by a clutch assembly having clutch-plates slipping against friction pads in the clutch-assembly, resulting in the resistance for pulling out and rewinding being virtually the same.

Embodiments of a strength training apparatus and related methods are provided. In one embodiment, a strength training apparatus may include a tower, a first arm and a second arm each pivotally coupled with the tower and each being configured to be selectively positionable independent of each other at multiple angles relative to each other, a first pulley coupled to an end of the first arm, a first cable extending through the first arm and the first pulley, a second pulley coupled to an end of the second arm, a second cable extending through the second arm and the second pulley, a magnetic mechanism coupled to the first cable and the second cable and configured to provide multiple levels of resistance to a user pulling on the first cable and/or the second cable, and a control panel located on the tower.

The present disclosure relates to an exercise apparatus. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus operated by hand which comprises a base upon which extend frame supports for the seat unit, resistance unit, crank unit, and guide unit. Embodiments provide for a crank to be mounted to the base and frame and wherein the crank is connected to first and second actuating rods via a coupling. The actuating rods are slidably connected at one end via a guide pivotally mounted to the frame and have a free end for a user to grip.

A wearable exercise apparatus may include one or more of: a torso support including an abdominal frame, a chest frame, a shoulder frame, a back frame, an arm frame, a first guide, a wrist frame, a second guide, a glove, a dial rotatably connected to the chest frame, a string connected to the dial, at least partially wound around the dial, and passing through an inner space of each of the torso support and the first guide, and an elastic band having one end connected to the string and the other end connected to the wrist frame or the glove, passing through an inner space of each of the arm frame and the second guide, and extending or contracting by a tension of the string.

A method of use and system of an adjustable, multiple routine, resistance exercise, apparatus having a single, continuous length of elastic flexible and/or stretchable tubing, banding, and/or strapping, formed in a continuous loop, by having the two free ends of the length of tubing, banding, and/or strapping knotted securely together, thus forming a continuous loop exercise device, having at least three scalable calibrated sections demarcated by a plurality of knotted sections, forming a chain of loops with knotted stays strategically spaced along the length of the formed continuous loop device.

An endless rope trainer that includes an upright frame, a drive roller supported a distance above ground on the frame, an endless rope entrained around the drive roller, and a means of applying resistance to rotation of the drive roller. A pair of guide rollers are provided proximate the drive roller. The guide rollers pivot together as a unit about the axis of the drive roller independently of the drive roller for maintaining a constant wrap angle of contact of the endless rope on the drive roller regardless of pull angle on the endless rope.

An exercise assist apparatus may include a frame and a cam assembly pivotally connected to the frame. A cable having one end fixedly secured to the frame may extend over a traveling pulley operably connected to the cam assembly and about a fixed pulley connected to the frame. One or more flexible progressive resistance bands may provide substantially linear assistance/resistance throughout an exercise.
