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.

The present invention provides a mountable arm assembly for fitness equipment, comprising two arm members and a connector for pivot connection of the two arm members. The two arm members respectively provide a plurality of assembly portions for length adjustment of the tension arm. The connector is formed with a pivot connection portion and a plurality of eccentric positioning portions. Specifically, an adjustable disposing angle is formed between the two arm members, and at least one of the two arm members sets the disposing angle through at least one eccentric positioning portion. The arm assembly can be mounted on fitness equipment and can swing back and forth through the pivot connection portion. The users can select one assembly portion on each of the two arm members for required tension arm lengths and add an applied force and a resistance force respectively on the two assembly portions. The invention effectively solves the problem that the existing fitness apparatuses do not offer adjustment of the tension arm length or the disposing angle.

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 a specification, an error stop mode is entered for the tension generating device.

A training device includes a backpack having a pair of shoulder straps, a rigid backbrace having at least two arms, a pair of lower support members coupled to ends of the rigid backbrace, and a resistance band coupled to each of the pair of lower support members and terminating in a handle.

Disclosed is a machine that functions by a human subject standing on a stationary base with one foot on the base and the other foot on a pedal. The foot on the pedal is positioned such that the hip and knee joints are in the flexed position. On command, the human subject will force the flexed hip and knee joints to full extension. The full extension is followed by relaxation of the engaged muscles allowing the elastic bands to force the hip and knee joints back to the flex position (or starting position). This action is repeated for as many times as is possible within a given period of time. Upright bars (support structure) allow the individual to stabilize themselves during the action. Adjustments can be made to the pedal height of the machine in order to allow proper training for human subjects who differ in height.

A mobile exercise device configured to enhance virtual reality experiences is provided. The system generally comprises a harness, top supports, bottom-carrying arms, resistance elements, and attachment elements secured to said resistance elements. In some preferred embodiments, a mechanical arm and/or top-carrying arm may be used to change the position of the resistance elements about a user. The resistance elements are preferably secured to a glove worn by a user, allowing for resistance in multiple directions. In one preferred embodiment, a control system may be used to adjust the tension of the resistance elements. In another embodiment, the system may be configured to operably connect to a gaming system, wherein an actuator operably connected to said resistance elements is responsible for adjusting tension based on actions by a user within a digital environment.

An exercise machine includes a cable. It further includes an interface to a moveable camera device coupled with the exercise machine. It further includes a processor configured to receive a cable-based measurement associated with an exercise performed by a user. The processor is further configured to receive, from the moveable camera device, video information associated with the exercise. The processor is further configured to provide a workout determination based at least in part on both the cable-based measurement and the video information received from the moveable camera device.
