The various devices and systems herein include oropharyngeal exercise devices having a pump bulb with a bulb body having a flow restriction structure with a restricted configuration in which the flow restriction structure is configured to restrict the flow of fluid through the lumen such that the user must apply a force to increase the flow of the fluid. Other devices include containers and/or lids thereof with the bulbs attached to or integrated therein.

A multiple position adjustable exercise device includes a first plate, a second plate and an elastic member. The second plate is pivotally connected with the first plate. The elastic member is disposed between the first plate and the second plate, and when the second plate rotates relative to the first plate, the elastic member is twisted for providing an elastic recovering force. An initial position of the second plate relative to the first plate is adjustable for adjusting the elastic recovering force.

Disclosed is a moving cyclic machine which is implemented to perform an elliptical motion or interpolating curve motion independently from pedal rotation in a mechanical aspect so as to remedy boredom and improve a difficult exercise process of existing cycle exercise and to provide interest and motivation by increasing a level of a sense of immersion such that a user can continuously do lower body exercise and aerobic exercise for a long time everyday.

An exercise machine includes a first housing, a central electromagnetic resistance unit, a resistance mechanical interface, and a mechanical expansion portion. The resistance mechanical interface includes a spool and a cable configured to provide a force from the central electromagnetic resistance unit in response to a control interface that receives commands from an exercise actuator. The cable extends out from a first side of the first housing. The mechanical expansion port is configured to link the first housing to a second housing via a mechanical attachment. The mechanical expansion port is located at a second side of the first housing. The second side of the first housing is adjacent to the first side of the first housing.

An ankle-strengthening device includes a stretchable band including a first portion and a second portion. A tubular portion has a proximal end and distal end. The tubular portion is fixed between the first portion of the stretchable band and the second portion of the stretchable band. The proximal end of the tubular portion has at an opening configured to receive a toe of a user. A fastener portion has a first attachment point and a second attachment point, such that, when fixed on the lower leg of the user, the first attachment point of the fastener is configured to connect with the first portion of the stretchable band, and the second attachment point of the fastener portion is configured to connect with the second portion of the stretchable band, thereby creating resistance to the user through dorsiflexion and/or pronation upon application of the device by the user.

Systems and methods for fitness tracking are provided. An exercise apparatus is in networked communication with a fitness tracking computing system. The configuration and location of movable components of the exercise apparatus is determined based on sensors. This information is provided to the fitness tracking computing system via networked communication.

An exercise system includes an exercise machine with a user engagement structure configured to be engaged by a user to perform a physical exercise. Actuators are configured to adjust operation of the user engagement structure to dynamically vary the physical exercise performed by the user. The system also includes a virtual reality apparatus with an immersive environment module that provides an immersive exercise environment to the user. The system also includes a computing device to control the actuators and the immersive environment module so that the physical exercise and the immersive exercise environment are dynamically varied to mimic the virtual reality exercise environment provided by the virtual reality apparatus.

A cable exercise device includes a vertically movable weight stack, a rotatable spool assembly, first and second cables, and a movable exercise implement. The rotatable spool assembly is located proximate the weight stack, and comprises spaced apart large and small cable spools affixed to a common rotatable spool shaft. The first cable has a terminal end attached to the weight stack and a winding end attached to the small cable spool. The second cable has a winding end attached to the large cable spool, and extends from the large cable spool to a terminal end. The movable exercise implement is secured to the cable exercise device by the terminal end of the second cable, and is adapted for being employed by a user performing an exercise.

An improved fitness/exercise apparatus using a full or half tire that rotates 360 degrees about a fixed axle. A user lifts/pushes the tire, thus rotating the tire end over end, while the apparatus creates resistance to the rotation via a variety of means, such as a magnetic brake, a viscous brake, a pad and disk brake, or a motor-controlled brake system.

An apparatus for use in performing a weighted glute bridge exercise. A back support contacts a user's back and a foot support contacts at least one of the user's feet, with each supporting a portion of the user's weight. A rigid elongate arm is mounted adjacent the back support at a pivot point. A hip bar is connected to the elongate arm and is configured to contact a user's hip region throughout the exercise. When the user moves from a hip flexed position to a hip extended position, the elongate arm moves from a first pivotal position to a second pivotal position. A resistance loading area connected to the elongate arm applies a resistance force directly onto the user's hip region that opposes the motion. Reversing the motion moves the elongate arm from the second pivotal position back to the first pivotal position and completes the repetition.
