An exercise ball includes a spherical cage and a sphere. The spherical cage includes two opposite openings. The sphere includes two opposite convex portions formed thereon. The sphere is inserted in the spherical cage and the convex portions are inserted in the openings to keep the sphere in the spherical cage.

In an exercise apparatus incorporating a vibration pulley system, a vibration unit connected to the frame of the exercise apparatus. The vibration unit may include a toothed pulley and a contact roller mounted on a bracket. A pulley cable may include an end fixedly secured to the frame of the exercise apparatus. The pulley cable may be threaded about the toothed pulley and the opposite end of the pulley cable connected to a handle that may be grasped by an operator. The toothed pulley may be in engagement with the contact roller to generate vibrations that may be felt by the operator. The vibration intensity may be adjusted to variable levels.

A weighted pivot arm apparatus attached to a weight rack component, comprising: a body having an upper end and a lower end and extending along longitudinal axis; an attachment point disposed on the body comprising at least one wing with a hole therethrough and wherein the attachment point is rotatably mounted to the weight rack component; and, an impact bumper disposed on a lower end of the body.

An interacting exercise device is revealed. The interacting exercise device includes a driving device and a non-concentric actuator driven by the driving device. While the driving device is operated to rotate, the non-concentric actuator vibrates and the vibration generated is delivered to the interacting exercise device for interacting shaking fitness.

An exercise apparatus having a pulley, a pair of stabilizing assemblies each configured to couple a front portion of a respective pedal element to each side of the pulley, a looped belt configured to couple the pulley to a resistance assembly, a tension stabilizer configured to maintain a tension of the looped belt on the pulley, and the resistance assembly configured to assert an adjustable resistance to the pedal elements through the looped belt. The exercise apparatus also comprises a transport mechanism with a handle for transporting the exercise apparatus.

Disclosed is an apparatus and method for exercising, strengthening, energizing and relieving portions of the body. The invention is the combination of the Vibrating, Massaging Sneakers interconnecting with the Mini Sit Down Leg Exerciser Connection with Adjustable/Stretchable hand held exercising cords together creates a Full Body mini exercising device that enhances health, fitness and wellness. The Sneakers are equipped with varying Massage Types and Intensity, including Heating Therapy, Air Compression, Bi-Directional Rolling/Kneading apparatus, with small vibrators/massagers embedded in the Therapeutic Compartments of Sneakers, to provide maximum effect to various Pressure Points of user's feet. The inter-connectable Leg Exerciser with Adjustable, Stretchable Hand held Exercising Cords provides added benefits of toning and strengthening the User's upper body, arms, legs, ankles, and feet, creating a Full Body Exercising Mechanism. Benefits to users of the invented, are relief from aches, pains, muscular buildup, stimulation of circulation, stress, overall improvements.

A running device and method of using the device are disclosed. The device may include a moveable material within an inner chamber of the running device's housing. In operation, a running device may be held in each hand and the runner may thrust both hands downward prior to landing and quickly bring the devices to a vertical stop after landing. Bringing the devices to a vertical stop may cause the moveable material to collide with the housing and increase the force exerted by the runner on the ground. A delay component may delay the peak force exerted by the material against the housing so that the translation of that force to the ground coincides with the peak force that the runner would have exerted against the ground in the absence of the devices.

An exercise device comprises a base. A power mechanism and a vibration mechanism are each disposed in the base. The power mechanism powers the vibration mechanism. The vibration mechanism provides linear vibrations through the base of the device in a first axis parallel to a longitudinal axis of a user standing on the base. In some embodiments, the device is substantially free of vibration in a plane orthogonal to the first axis and is substantially free of rotational vibration in any direction at a time when the vibration mechanism provides the first plurality of linear vibrations. In some embodiments, the vibration mechanism operates between 10 and 60 Hz. In some embodiments an exercise kit is provided that includes the referenced exercise device, an exercise bar, and one or more elastic bands, each elastic band for removably coupling the base to the exercise bar.

A vertical exercise device for triggering sympathetic and/or parasympathetic system responses comprising at least one foot support and a handlebar assembly. The foot support(s) may have a support surface configured to contact the entire ball of a user's foot during use, which may be inclined at an angle and substantially flat. The handlebar assembly may have at least an upper handle configuration and a lower handle configuration, and be adapted to keep a user's wrist within a safe range of motion during use. The positioning and orientation of foot support(s) and the handlebar assembly may each be independently adjustable in various aspects, such as horizontal and vertical displacement, rotation, tilt, angle, etc. The angle and depth of the support surface may each be independently adjustable. A horizontal vibration system may move one or more components of the device along the horizontal plane. Handlebars may have thumb plates to restrict grip.
