The suspension system disclosed may be used to provide anti-gravity or pro-gravity affects to aid in exercise and rehabilitation. The system includes a frame assembly which supports an elastic cord. The elastic cord supports a portion of the weight of the user and exerts upward or downward pressure on the user to reduce or enhance the user's weight. The elastic is configured to equalize the forces on the system and permit free movement of the user while reducing or enhancing the user's weight. The system may be used by itself or with a number of different exercises and equipment.

There is provided a plank exercise device including a support portion adapted to receive arms or hands of a person and adapted to receive a display device, a destabilizer connected to the support portion, and a stationary base adapted to hold the destabilizer.

A resistance band exercise machine for performing various exercises. An embodiment includes a housing for a cable-pulley variable resistance system. The cable-pulley variable resistance system is configured to receive one or more safety bars to set a starting position of an exercise. Some embodiments include a training partner assistantship feature for a training partner to assist the user by imparting a secondary force on the machine. The configuration of the cable-pulley variable resistance system may be in any manner based on the exercise. A user performs an exercise on the resistance band exercise machine to overcome a primary (resistance band) and secondary (springs) sources of variably increasing resistance from the cable-pulley variable resistance system.

The present disclosure provides a portable anchor system comprised of a modular and foldable frame structure which folds down to a compact shape having a storage compartment with a pair of wheels. When unfolded for use, the anchor system is shaped such that a user's weight always provides a counterbalance to forces exerted during exercise, removing the need for added weight or a structure to affix the anchor system to. The standalone apparatus provides a wide variety of horizontal, vertical, and ground level anchor points and has horizontal bars which can be mounted at different vertical heights to suit a user's needs for various exercises. The storage compartment is used to store exercise apparatus as well as pieces for the portable anchor system. A kit is also provided herein, the kit comprising the anchor system, a novel resistance band apparatus, and one or more items capable of being stored within the storage compartment.

An exercise device for performing incline push-ups includes a base and a pair of upright frame members connected at their bottoms to the base. The exercise device includes a pair of bar support assemblies that movably travel along the upright frame members. Each bar support assembly includes a hollow base sleeve that surrounds one upright frame member and an arm that extends outwardly from the hollow base sleeve at an angle. The arm has a plurality of spaced notches formed therein. The bar support assembly includes an insert that slidingly travels within the hollow interior of the arm. The insert is biased by a biasing element that is disposed between the arm and the insert and the insert is biased in a direction toward the hollow base sleeve. The bar support assembly further includes a plurality of lock pieces that are pivotally attached to both the arm and the insert. Each lock piece is disposed at least partially within one respective notch of the arm and movable between an unlocked position and a locked position.

An exercise equipment having a sleeved hinge bar that interconnects a pair of scissor legs so that they move, in unison, between a closed position/collapsed condition and an open position/expanded condition supporting the sleeved hinge bar along and elevated above a supporting surface. Each pair of legs has a front leg and a rear leg. The rear legs interconnect along their distal ends by a rear support bar. A base platform may be pivotably connected to the rear support bar by hinge straps so that the base platform moves between a vertical position in the collapse condition and a horizontal position in the expanded position so that a user may be supported by the base platform during exercise routines that rely on engaging the front legs.

A balancing push up bar effective for strengthening core muscles is provided. The balancing push up bar includes a bar coupling a front arc and a rear arc. A shape profile of the front and the rear provide a rocking movement of the balancing push up bar. A user may be able to mount the bar and perform push-up exercises while balancing on the bar, strengthening, and tones the core muscles.

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.

An apparatus for assisting pushups or planks comprising a base structure having a substrate contact surface and a flat padded bench rotatably coupled to the base structure. The flat padded bench has rectangular shape adapted to support the user and not interfere with the user’s shoulders when performing a pushup or plank. The flat padded bench is rotatable relative the base structure about an axis of rotation from a neutral position to a first fully rotated position and a second fully rotated position. The height of the device is selected to allow users to perform pushups or planks.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.
