One embodiment of a resistance band exercise machine (100) for various exercises having a cable-pulley variable resistance system housing (102) with a cable-pulley variable resistance system (104). The cable-pulley variable resistance system has a pair of uprights (110) to insert a pair of safety bars (112) or a joined safety bar (118) into a safety bar hole (114) from the uprights to set starting position of an exercise by placing a top plate (106) from the cable-pulley variable resistance system on the safety bars and increase exercise intensity by performing isometrics against the safety bars and a training partner assistantship cable-pulley system (128) or a training partner assistantship feature from the cable-pulley variable resistance system having an input lifting arm (122) with a handle grip (124) and/or a shoulder padding (126) for a training partner (136) to assist the user. The configuration of the cable-pulley variable resistance system may be in any manner based on the exercise. A user (162) performs an exercise on the resistance band exercise machine to overcome a primary (resistance band 116) and secondary (springs 168) sources of variably increasing resistance from the cable-pulley variable resistance system.

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.

The present invention is described as one set containing a pair of pushup grips. Each grip includes a longitudinal hand support connected to two separate base supports. Each base support has a spring-loaded connection mechanism for rotation between a compact storage position and an active engaged position. The base supports are identical configurations, with a channel through the top of the length for the storage position, a channel through the top of the width for the active position, with a dampening tread covering the bottom of each base support. The longitudinal hand support optionally includes padding for added hand comfort and ring connectors on each end cap to attach to a resistance band.

Provided is an exercise device including a planar support surface and a rolling joint which is configured to enable a 360° range of motion for the exercise device. In this regard, the user may roll the exercise device along a planar surface in a forward-and-backward motion, a side-to-side motion, or in an arcuate or circular motion.

A portable exercise apparatus in the shape of a square having a handle at either side, which handles are arranged rotatable on spindles such that the user can impart movement on said apparatus without changing his/her grip.

Described herein are systems and methods for favorably coordinating a timing relationship between a musculoskeletal activity cycle and a cardiac cycle of a user. A method may include repetitively detecting a signal that correlates to a blood volume in the user; determining an actual value of the signal that varies with the timing relationship; computing a trend of the actual value of the signal; and adjusting the movement guidance based on the trend of the actual value. A system may include a prompt device configured to provide recurrently a movement guidance to the user for guiding performance of the rhythmic musculoskeletal activity; a sensor configured to provide a signal that correlates to a blood volume in the user; and a processor configured to determine an actual value of the signal that varies with the timing relationship and to adjust the movement guidance based on the trend of the actual value.

An exercise apparatus that a user can readily assemble and disassemble includes an elongated body and two inserts. The inserts can be stored within the elongated body or can be deployed in openings in the side of the body, and in that position, the inserts operate as legs for the body. The exercise apparatus can serve as a handle for pushups. The exercise apparatus can operate independently or with a slide pad to allow the user to use sliding push-ups. When the inserts are removed, the body can serve as a handle for straps for use with suspension exercises.

An exercise or training device that includes a first pulley, a second pulley, and a two ended line trained through the first and second pulley, the line having a first end and a second end, the first end of the line affixed to a first handle for gripping, a second handle for gripping affixed to the line at a position between the first end and the second end of the line. The pulleys may be fixed in position to a wall or rack such that they are horizontally spaced apart. In some embodiments, the pulley or pulleys may be attached to the fixed position by a spring assembly or other device to increase the linear force in the handles or bar.

A multifunctional kettlebell device is a uniquely designed kettlebell that can assist with a plurality of exercises. To accomplish this, the device includes loops and rings that may be attached to other equipment and accessories such as resistant bands, backpack straps, additional weights, or of the likes. Further, the device has a flat front and rear surface to prevent any bulgy uncomfortable force pushed against the body of the user when lifting the kettlebell. In addition to the flat surface, the device includes a unique indentation that assists with maintaining proper body posture and weight distribution while the invention is being used. Thus, the multifunctional kettlebell device is an exercise equipment with plurality of accessory attachment provisions, as well as a convenient and user-friendly shape.

Disclosed is an exercise device includes an elongated body having a top surface, bottom surface, a first end surface and a second end surface, a first bore hole located proximate the first end surface, the first bore hole extending from the top surface through to the bottom surface, a first vertical member sized in relative proportions to be slidably received in the first bore hole, a first locking hole orthogonal to the first bore hole, a first pin sized in relative proportions to be slidably received in the first locking hole, and a first height adjustment hole of the first vertical member, the first height adjustment hole sized in relative proportions to slidably receive the first pin.
