An exercise apparatus includes an adjustable frame being attachable to an assistive ambulation device. The adjustable frame includes removable handles, fitting arms located on a lower portion of the adjustable frame to receive a fitness attachment, and attachment points on located on the lower portion of the adjustable frame to couple a resistance device. A jump rope trainer includes a handle; flexible tubing including a handle fastener to connect the handle to the flexible tubing; and a soft sphere shaped object. The flexible tubing includes a soft sphere shaped object fastener to connect the soft sphere shaped object to the flexible tubing.

Apparatus is provided for training people in technique and tactics for use in wrestling and other combat sports. The apparatus presented comprises a rigid and elastic frame, padding, low-friction feet or runners, and a platform for another user or weights, to add mass and resistance for the user training with the apparatus. A user may use the apparatus to practice penetration techniques, agility, and strength while training in free motion. The apparatus leads the user to use her or his body weight, the weight of the apparatus, and optionally added weight, in training while on matted surfaces, providing a better training experience and practice than prior art training devices. The present invention solves problems with the currently available means and apparatuses of practicing penetration techniques and tactics.

A resistance harness that allows 360 of resistance around the body. 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.

A running exercise device is provided having a waist engaged belt connected to a first shoulder strap and second shoulder strap. Elastic bands extend between the waist belt and each of first and second leg bands positionable on the upper legs of the user. Lower leg bands may also be employed which have elastic leg bands extending between each lower leg band and a respective shoe on the foot of the user.

Treadmills or similar exercise devices which utilize a motor driven belt which can be used to provide a powered running surface, but can also be used to provide a resistance to movement of the belt to allow a user to have to manually drive the belt at a constant resistance or torque regardless of incline. This later mode of operation is akin to the pushing or pulling of a weight sled and can be arranged so that a user can be required to supply a constant torque over a range of inclines.

A strength and endurance training system. The system includes a first assist-resist system, which includes a first motor that is activated and deactivated by a first motor controller, a first drum coupled to the first motor, a first connecting member provided between the first drum and a coupling device which is attachable to an object/individual, and a computer system configured to use as input one or more of i) a measurement of distance of the coupling device form the first assist-resist system, ii) a predetermined strength value, and iii) a measurement of external force applied to the coupling device by the individual and thus operate the first assist-resist system in one of i) a resistive mode, wherein a resistive force is applied to the coupling device when the coupling device moves away from the first assist-resist system, ii) an assistive mode, wherein an assistive force is applied to the coupling device when the coupling device moves towards the first assist-resist system, and iii) a bypass mode, wherein a negligible force (between about 0 Nabout 5 N) is applied to the coupling device.

A portable exercise device comprising of a base with a plurality of apertures and at least one resistance member threaded through the apertures and with both ends of the resistance member available for gripping by the user during performance of resistance exercises. A device that is flexible, comfortable, light weight and with ease of use provides multiple strengthening, stretching or physical therapy resistance exercises for the chest, shoulders, back, arms, abdominal and leg muscles. The exercise device can be used at home, the office or in a hotel room and unattached on any couch, chair, bed, wheel chair or vehicle seat. With the portable exercise device of the present invention the user can get an upper body, abdominal or leg workout in a minimal amount of time.

An exercise apparatus is provided having a handle pivotally attached to a flat base, the base and handle having 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.
