A tire exercise system has a tire having an interior portion covered with an inner tire cover. At least four shoulder strap attachment points are attached to the tire and configured to secure a right and left shoulder strap. At least two handles are attached to the tire and configured to accommodate human hands. At least two anchors are attached to the tire and configured to accommodate a rope system. A waist harness includes a waist belt. An anchor is attached to the waist belt. A rope system is attached to the tire and the waist harness. The rope system includes a first carabiner attached to a bungee cord, which can then be attached to the tire. A ring is attached to the bungee cord. A rope is attached to the ring. A second carabiner is attached to the rope, which can then be attached to the waist harness.

A multi-axis adjustable exercise machine which is pivotable about both a pitch axis and a roll axis with respect to a base for allowing an exerciser to perform a wide range of exercises on a pitched or rolled exercise machine. The multi-axis adjustable exercise machine generally includes an exercise machine which is adjustable with respect to a base. The exercise machine may be pivoted about a roll axis to adjust the roll angle of the exercise machine or may be pivoted about a pitch axis to adjust the pitch angle of the exercise machine. One or more actuators may be connected between the base and the exercise machine to effectuate the pivoting of the exercise machine about either or both axes with respect to the base.

An improved fitness/exercise apparatus using a full or half tire that rotates 360 degrees about a fixed axle. A user lifts/pushes the tire, thus rotating the tire end over end, while the apparatus creates resistance to the rotation via a variety of means, such as a magnetic brake, a viscous brake, a pad and disk brake, or a motor-controlled brake system.

A resistance harness that allows 360 of resistance around the body and in any plane of motion (sagittal, transverse, frontal, oblique). The strap design allows rings to slide from anterior to posterior or medial to lateral. The rings enable concentric, eccentric, or isometric resistance. This sliding ability allows for resistance to be constant in one direction or changeable. As the ring slides under tension, the muscular recruitment needed to resist will change as the force angle of the ring slides and changes position around the body.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a system comprising a treadmill. The treadmill comprises a track and a weight stack. The weight stack is coupled to a harness coupleable to a user, the harness constructed to simulate pulling a weighted sled when coupled to the user as the user utilizes the treadmill. The weight stack is coupled to a handle graspable by the user, the harness constructed to simulate pushing a weighted sled when the user grasps the handle as the user utilizes the treadmill.

An exercise apparatus is provided having a handle pivotally attached to a flat base, the base and handle each configured for receiving optional weights, the flat base providing resistance when the handle moves the base along a surface.

A weight training sled (100) characterized by one or more of (A) rotatable wheels (130) in contact with ground, (B) curvilinear push handles (140) with comfortably spaced, and inwardly and/or downwardly angled hand grips (143), and (C) an elevated tow hook (160).

Disclosed herein is a stair climber that includes a frame having a base, an upper axle and a lower axle, and steps revolvably coupled to the upper axle and the lower axle. The stair climber also includes an electric brake mechanism operating in generative mode and coupled with the steps and configured to provide a variable resistive force. Also included is a controller that receives an indication of a selected exercise mode from a user that includes a first speed, a second speed, and a difficulty level. The controller also balances a load, in a learning mode, on the steps based a user's weight at the first speed, and controls, in response to the user applying an additional load to the steps via a rail system, the electric brake mechanism to apply the difficulty level of the selected exercise mode and prevent the steps from exceeding the second speed.

The present invention relates to a gymnastic machine having a closed circuit sliding belt comprising a base structure, a sliding belt, sliding according to a sliding direction installed on the base structure upon which a user performs a gymnastic exercise, a supporting structure coupled to the base structure, a first and a second handle for supporting the user, coupled to the supporting structure, a resisting device wearable by the user, the gymnastic machine being characterized in that each of the first and second handles comprises a respective coupling member for coupling with the resisting device.
