A device for providing support to a user performing a physical exercise is provided. The device includes a frame including a first support strut and a second support strut and an elastic strap coupled to a first end of the first support strut and a first end of the second support strut. The elastic strap has sufficient tension to provide support to a user's body weight by supporting a chest of the user when the user performs a push-up using the device. In embodiments, the device includes a base support coupled to the frame. A sleeve of material may be disposed around a portion of the strap that is between the first support strut and the second support strut.

A modular floor exercise assembly for performing floor exercises includes a plurality of floor supports that is each removably attachable together to form a bridge-like structure that can be positioned on a support surface. A pair of cross members is each removably attachable between a respective pair of the floor supports. A handle unit is removably attachable to the cross members when the cross members are attached to the floor supports. Thus, the handle unit can be gripped by a user thereby facilitating the user to perform floor exercises such as a pushup. The handle unit is slidable along each of the cross members to facilitate the user to perform the floor exercises at a variety of different angles with respect to the support surface.

A protective rowing device for compression of the abdomen is provided that comprises a brace and U-shaped support member that may connect to a rowing machine seat and rail.

A support garment for use during resistance training. The support garment includes a band of elastomeric material having a front perimeter and a rear perimeter. The front perimeter and rear perimeter are folded together at two points, each point forming a segment. The segments are then affixed to each other at a midpoint. In addition, openings are formed on both sides of the segments with upper arm sleeves encompassing the openings. Each upper arm sleeve is configured for wear on an upper arm of a user above an elbow of the user. The upper arm sleeves are biased inwardly by the attached segments. The user positions one arm in each upper arm sleeve and positions the attached segments across a chest of the user during resistance training.

An abdominal exercise device includes a frame comprising top, middle, and bottom frame sections. The middle frame section has a curved shape for creating a teeter-totter movement during exercise. The device includes a headrest connected to the bottom frame section, a plurality of connectors for connecting elastic bands to the frame, and an elastic band connected to at least two connectors. The two ends of the elastic band are connected to two straps. The device creates the teeter-totter movement to exercise the abdominal muscles in response to a person lying down in supine position with the back of the head on the headrest and the feet in the two straps, the person applying a downward pressure with the feet to the straps to move the headrest from a resting position, and the person removing the downward pressure to allow the headrest to go back to the resting position.

Hand-held, portable exercise device which enables the user to strengthen muscles and joints by performing various exercises, the device having a base structure defining a receptacle and supporting at least three omnidirectional rotational elements. A grip element, which may be spherical, has a lower surface positionable on the receptacle and has an upper gripping surface that is convex in at least two dimensions. A hand retaining strap is positionable over the gripping surface of the grip element such that a hand of a human user, the hand having a palm surface and a back surface, can be inserted between the retaining strap and the gripping surface, the palm surface of the user's hand contacting the gripping surface while the retaining strap contacts the back surface of the user's hand to secure the exercise device to the hand.

The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus with a mobility mat and an orthopedic device. The mobility mat can have a plurality of segments with a plurality of assistive features such as hand holds, foot holds, and a contoured cushion. The mobility mat can be configured to couple with the orthopedic device. The orthopedic device can have an inclined face and a plurality of remaining faces including various additional assistive features.

A multi-functional doorway exercise device is an apparatus that safely and securely attaches to a door frame. The apparatus includes a stabilizing bar, a main pullup bar, a first support bar, a second support bar, a left bracket assembly, a right bracket assembly, a left handlebar, and a right handlebar. The stabilizing bar extends across the width of a door frame and locks into the door frame. The main pullup bar, the left handlebar, and the right handlebar allows a user to grasp onto the present invention while performing various exercises with different grip positions. The left bracket assembly and the right bracket assembly attaches the stabilizing bar onto and along both sides of the door frame. The first support bar and the second support bar connect the main pullup bar with the stabilizing bar and allows the main pullup bar to rotate about the stabilizing bar.

A multi-use exercise apparatus and methods of using same is disclosed. The multi-use exercise apparatus and methods of the invention may provide a means for performing both counter or standing push-ups and/or floor push-ups. The multi-use exercise device may include a base member or portion, a foot member or portion, and a hand member or portion. Further, a method of using the multi-use exercise apparatus is provided.

Systems and methods are presented for performing exercises to strengthen, e.g., the transversus abdominis and related muscles. The systems and methods may involve one or more independent belts, allowing a full range of continuous motion. The systems and methods may further use a resistance-control mechanism that allows a user to adjust the force required to move the one or more belts, thereby controlling the rate of motion in the forward and/or backward directions. The systems and methods may further use a unidirectional resistance mechanism that allows the user to increase the resistance of the one or more belts in one direction, while allowing the one or more belts to move freely in the other direction.
