My invention utilizes magnetism to generate a force that you can either push or pull between two neodymium electromagnets. With this invention astronauts will be able to utilize this device which uses magnetism to simulate weight. The force these two magnets create that you can push and pull on will be just as viable in space as they were on Earth and depending on how much energy you put into the electromagnets will determine on how much force they push a pull. An example would be an astronaut wanting to lift 100 lbs the magnets would pool at each other to simulate a resistance of 100 lbs. Lastly, it's voice control system like any smart device will allow it to be one of the safest devices they can use considering their voice will be in control of how much resistance and force they're working with.

A power rowing machine that combines the seat of a rowing machine with a weight arm for resistance training. The power rowing machine avoids the flywheel of a conventional rowing machine and instead uses a weight arm. The weight arm serves two purposes. First, weight can be added to the arm for progressive resistance training. Second, the pivoting action varies the resistance through the movement. As a slow controlled resistance exercise the back and the arms of the rowing stroke cannot move the same resistance as the legs. Similarly, a user at the beginning of the rowing motion, with the legs compressed, cannot move as much resistance as with knees at a 90-degree angle.

A spinal treatment system includes a traction device, an exercise device adapted for imparting curvature to the lumbar or sacral spine of a user and for manipulating the spine and intervertebral discs with decompression force, and a cushion coupled to the traction device and configured to bear against one or both of a head of the user and the thoracic spine of the user. The exercise device includes a frame for placement on the floor. A pad or inflatable bladder is carried by the top surface of the frame. A body strap attachment portion encompasses the thoracic-sacral spinal vertebrae region of the user and secures the frame to the user. The cushion includes one or more pad sections or inflatable bladder sections.

A track exercise device with at least first and second substantially parallel tracks, and first, second, third, and fourth movable platforms. The first and third movable platforms are movable on the first track, and the second and fourth movable platforms are movable on the second track. Transverse attachments selectively and respectively attach the first and second movable platforms together on the first and second tracks and the third and fourth movable platforms together on the first and second tracks. Longitudinal attachments selectively and respectively attach the first and third movable platforms together on the first track and the second and fourth movable platforms together on the second track. A tilting adjustment selectively provides for inclined or flat movement of the first, second, third, and fourth movable platforms.

A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to interact with a user of an exercise device during an exercise session. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive data as input, and based on the data, providing an output. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the data from an input peripheral of a computing device associated with the user. Based on the data being received from the input peripheral, the method includes determining, via the machine learning model, the output to control an aspect of the exercise device.

According to one example, an exercise system includes a vertical housing, a first weighted touchpoint coupled to the vertical housing and configured to allow a user to exercise one or more muscles on a first side of the user, a first weight system coupled to the first weighted touchpoint, a second weighted touchpoint coupled to the vertical housing and configured to allow the user to exercise one or more muscles on a second side of the user, and a second weight system coupled to the second weighted touchpoint. The exercise system further includes a control system configured to cause the first weight system to automatically provide a first heavier weight to the first weighted touchpoint for a first exercise and further cause the second weight system to automatically provide a second lighter weight to the second weighted touchpoint for the first exercise.

A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a body positioning and support system having shoulder support surfaces (SSSs) and a lumbar support surface (LSS) offset downwards from a torso support surface (TSS). In an illustrative example, the TSS extends in a first plane along a longitudinal axis. An SSS may, for example, extend from each side of the TSS in opposite directions along a transverse axis orthogonal to the longitudinal axis in the first plane. The LSS may, for example, be distal to the TSS. The SSSs may, for example, each be defined by a first offset from the first plane towards a base plane. The LSS may, for example, be displaced from the first plane towards the base plane by at least a second offset. A neck support surface may extend from a proximal end of the TSS. Various embodiments may advantageously automatically position and support (targeted) body anatomy.

An exercise device is portable and lightweight, where a user pushes levers (for example, handles or pedals) in a linear fashion. The levers may not be connected to each other and may be used alternately or both at the same time. Each lever is connected to a bearing mechanism inside of a housing, where the bearing mechanism reduces friction and creates stability when pushing the levers. The levers are attached to one or more sets of resistance bands that enable different levels of resistance by rotating a top dial to vary the intensity of physical activity. The device has a base having foldable base supports and foldable pedals, thus providing portability of the device. The exercise device may have a pedometer situated within one of the levers that counts the steps and may communicate with an application executing on a mobile device in order to measure the user's exercise performance.

Training machine and a method of controlling a training machine comprising a resistance component configured to provide at least a resistance during training, a control configured to control the resistance component during training and a safety component configured to monitor the training machine on the basis of velocity and/or any derivative thereof.
