A damping device includes a casing structure, a retarding mechanism, a driving mechanism, a restoring mechanism and a resistance mechanism. An accommodating space is formed in the casing structure to accommodate the retarding mechanism, and a through hole and a hollow-out hole are formed at wall surfaces of two opposite sides of the accommodating space respectively. The retarding mechanism has a main shaft passed through out of the through hole, and a retarding shaft acting simultaneously with the main shaft. The driving mechanism has a wire wheel fastened on the main shaft. The restoring mechanism has a restoring wheel fastened on the wire wheel. The resistance mechanism has a metal element fastened on the retarding shaft, and a magnetic part is disposed between the metal element and the hollow-out hole, and an interval is formed between the magnetic part and the metal element.

A lateral deltoid exercise machine has a floor engaging main frame, a user support pivot, a user support assembly pivotally mounted on the main frame via the user support pivot, and a pivotally mounted user engagement device or exercise arm assembly having arm pads for engagement by the user's forearms while pushing the arm pads outward and upward from a start position. A connecting link translates movement of the user engagement device to movement of the user support so that pivotal movement of the user engagement device results in a self-aligning, pivoting movement of the user support.

A shoulder motion exercise device and method of use having a retainer, a connector, an extender, and a slider. The extender is gripped in one hand, the slider, which is in slidable engagement with the extender, is held in the other, and the slider is attached to the retainer at, or above, the elbow of an intended user. When the user mimics a golf swing, the device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

Bath for exercising, the bath containing substantially vertical wall portion, and a suitably configured bath bottom, from which extends an exercise base, wherein the bath bottom is formed so that the bath is the deepest in the area where the person lying on the exercise base reaches when moving her legs, the bath is lower in the area where she reaches when moving her arms, wherein the bath bottom is shaped so that in the top view it follows the trajectory of the user can reach when moving her limbs.

A shoulder motion exercise device and method of use having a retainer, a connector, an extender, and a slider. The extender is gripped in one hand, the slider, which is in slidable engagement with the extender, is held in the other, and the slider is attached to the retainer at, or above, the elbow of an intended user. When the user mimics a golf swing, the device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

An exercise training device includes a housing portion extending between a first end and a second end. The housing portion defines an internal bore. A biasing device is disposed within the internal bore. A first gripping portion is received within the internal bore through the first end of the housing portion. The first gripping portion is attached to a first biasing end of the biasing device. The first gripping portion is gripped by a user. A second gripping portion is received within the internal bore through the second end of the housing portion. The second gripping portion is attached to a second biasing end of the biasing device. The second gripping portion is gripped by the user. In response to a pressure applied, the biasing device and the housing portion are movable from an unflexed position to a flexed position.

The present application relates to a physical therapy device to strengthen and prevent atrophy in muscles for use while seated in a chair or a wheelchair or while lying in a bed. The physical therapy device includes a back rest; right and left upper arm rests coupled to the back rest by a first connector; and right and left lower arm rests coupled to the right and left upper arm rests, respectively, by a second connector. Each lower arm rest comprises a handle. Each upper arm rest is configured to move towards the back rest at the first connector to fold flush against the back rest. The physical therapy device further comprises an extender coupled to the back rest; right and left upper leg units coupled to the extender by a third connector; and right and left lower leg units coupled to the right and left upper leg units, respectively, by a fourth connector. Each lower leg unit comprises a stirrup.

A multi-purpose exercise bench having a versatile resistance accessory configurable for use to provide weight-training resistance in a variety of exercises is provided. A multi-purpose exercise bench comprises: an elongated frame configured to rest on a flat floor in a stable manner; a lower seat portion supported on the frame; a resistance accessory mounted to the frame, the resistance accessory comprising: a pad movably mounted to the frame to be movable between a first position and a second position; a locking mechanism operable to lock the pad in either of the first position and the second position; and a plurality of resistance bands attached to the pad. A multi-purpose exercise system include the multi-purpose exercise bench and an exercise bar defining at least one groove dimension to receive at least one receiver ring attached to at least one of the resistance bands.

A portable exercise machine (1), for the execution of gymnastic and/or rehabilitation exercises through the extension of an elastic element, comprising: a base or platform (2) of small size, having a plan extension slightly greater than that of the area covered by the footprints of two feet, and that can be contained in a cabin briefcase, said base or platform (2) being usable to stabilize the machine by means of the weight or the thrust of the user; only one gripping element or handle (3) of cylindrical shape having a longitudinal length or first length suitable to allow a two handed grip; an elastic band (4) whose ends are respectively fixed to said base (2) and to said gripping element or handle (4), the width of said elastic band (4) being inferior to said first length of the handle (3) in order to leave two free zones on the two sides of the band when the same band is wound around the handle (3), the length of the portion of the elastic band used for an exercise being variable due to the winding of the same elastic band (4) around the element gripping or handle (3).
