A supporting device for users of a Pilates exercise machine to maintain them at an inclined angle upon the platform or carriage of the exercise machine during use. The device features a body having a bottom adapted for positioning on the moving or stationary carriage of the Pilates machine and an inclining top surface to support the body of the user inclined.

The apparatus provides an exercise device that is portable, versatile, and enables the user to match the resistance of the device with the normal physiologic length-tension relationship of skeletal muscle. The device adds resistance in the form of cartridges that are stackable to summate resistance and can connect to a variety of attachments for use with arms, legs, or trunk, i.e., handle, bar, loop, etc. Given the device’s portability, it can be used freestyle or mounted to various surfaces.

A system and method of using two exercise machines for performing a wide range of exercise movements that utilize both of the exercise machines in concert. The system and method of using two exercise machines generally includes first exercise machine and a second exercise machine which are used in concert to perform a wide range of exercise movements. The first exercise machine may include a track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The second exercise machine may include its own separate track, a carriage movably connected to the track, and an end platform. The exercise machines may be positioned side-to-side in parallel orientation such that an exerciser may perform various exercise moves by positioning different limbs on the respective carriages, end platforms, and/or tracks of the exercise machines, in addition to the surface underlying the exercise machines.

A physical training system includes a belt having a belt attachment member and a first band attachment loop for an elastomeric belt. The belt attachment member is moveably positioned on the belt and at least partially encircles the belt. The belt attachment member comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending completely across a width of the belt on the outer side of the belt, and the second portion extending at least partially across the width of the belt on the inner side of the belt. The first band attachment loop is moveably connected to the belt attachment member. The elastomeric band extends through the first band attachment loop. A foot coupling includes at least one flexible strap and a second band attachment loop. The elastomeric band extends between the foot coupling and the belt attachment member.

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.

Embodiments herein are directed to an aquatic exercising assembly. The aquatic exercising assembly includes a container having a liquid retention portion. The liquid retention portion includes a bottom wall, a pair of opposing sidewalls, and a pair of opposing end walls, a pedal assembly and a paddle assembly. The pedal assembly is rotatably coupled to the one of the pair of opposing end walls. The paddle assembly is coupled to each one of the pair of opposing sidewalls. The paddle assembly is movable between a rearward position and a forward position in a longitudinal direction. The pedal assembly is rotatably moved by a lower body movement of a user and the paddle assembly is moved by an upper body movement of the user.

An exercise apparatus including an exercise bar assembly, a pulley assembly and an exercise band assembly. The exercise bar assembly includes an exercise bar that has attachment point rods secured along a height thereof. Exercise bands from the exercise band assembly are secured to the desired of the attachment point rods. Attached along the height of the exercise bar are also pads used to practice kicking and punching. The exercise bands include handle straps allowing the user to grasp the exercise bands to work out the desired muscle group. Additional exercise options are provided with the pulley wheels of the pulley assembly. The exercise bands and the pulley wheels interact with one another to provide additional exercise options.

Sensor data is collected from a sensor monitoring a tension generating device of an exercise machine. The sensor data is analyzed to determine whether the sensor data is within a specification. In the event the sensor data is not within the specification, an error stop mode is entered for the tension generating device.

A hex flex apparatus for improving resistance training is presented. The hex flex apparatus is useful for providing more than the standard two-dimension experience, in that a standard apparatus requires large jumps in band size and resistance to move up to the next level. The hex flex apparatus further adds a third dimension by allowing for smaller, more gradual increments to resistance, which leads to more and steadier strength progress before reaching a plateau or sticking point. A platform with two handles is described as is the band which is used to provide tension for resistance training. Further adjustable rods are shown which can be placed into various holes to control the tension and the rods have a ring magnet which provides for the rods being secured in the holes. The bands are further around the rods to access the value of the rods.

An exercise device includes a base member configured for engaging a mounting structure including a first surface and an oppositely arranged second surface. The first surface of the mounting structure faces towards the user and the second surface of the mounting structure is configured to engage the base member. A coupling system of the exercise device couples the base member to the mounting structure. An arm is pivotally coupled to the base member and is configured to pivot between a retracted position and an operational position. A resistance member is directly coupled to the arm and includes a control member configured to be manipulated by a portion of the user.
