Disclosed is a stroller propulsion apparatus, comprising a pair of elongated handles attached to a handlebar of a stroller. The elongated handles further comprise a grip and a resistance element. By using the grips, the user applies a pressure on the handles and the resistance element to move the handles in a forward direction and a rearward direction in a reciprocating motion propelling the stroller in the forward direction to allow a user to maintain an ergonomic positions while walking and exercising.

An apparatus for foot exercise for strengthening at least the ankle and muscles around the ankle. The apparatus includes a housing having a cutout in a top wall thereof for allowing a foot of a user to pass through. A sleeve of a socks shape, hangs from the cutout, and the sleeve can receive at least the foot up to the ankle of the user. Multiple inflatable bags are disposed within the housing and around the sleeve, such that the inflatable bags, when inflated, resist movement of the foot received within the sleeve. The user can insert the foot into the sleeve; upon inserting the foot, inflates the plurality of inflatable bags; and upon inflating, moves the foot against the resistance offered by the inflated plurality of inflatable bags.

A wall hanging bracket set for supporting a weight training sled in an elevated vertical stowage position. The wall hanging bracket set includes an upper bracket for attachment to a vertical surface and supportively contacting a second longitudinal end of the sled at two laterally spaced contact points, and a lower bracket for attachment to the vertical surface and supportively contact a first longitudinal end of the sled at a single contact point.

An isokinetic control module and method for incorporation on both new and existing exercise equipment. The control module replaces standard friction and hydraulic resistance components offering constant speed of the moveable elements of the machine rather than a selected resistance or weight. The constant user-generated resistance prevents injury and enhances strength training of the targeted muscle groups by maintaining constant strain on those muscles throughout the exercise. This method and device incorporates both a PCFC valve and a check valve device, removing all resistance the moment the user stops applying force to the machine. This enhances safety and facilitates the rapid return of the lifting element to its home position between repetitions. An optional graphical display is also disclosed.

The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus designed to allow a user to perform a gluteal bridge, typically with resistance, to improve the strength of the user's posterior hip and gluteal muscles. The exercise apparatus is configurable for use in different environmentsin a gym, fitness center or training facility, a spa or studio, or a home gym. The exercise apparatus includes a frame assembly, a bench assembly, and a resistance assembly. The bench assembly is pivotally connected to the frame assembly to provide an elevated pivot point about which the bench assembly pivots when the user performs the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly is operably connected to the bench assembly and provides a resistance force that the user overcomes in order to pivotally move the bench through the gluteal bridge movement. The resistance assembly can include a cable, pulley and weight stack, or an elastically deformable band.

A device configured for use as a sports training and/or rehabilitation device. In one embodiment, the device includes a head portion, a handle portion meeting the head portion, and a resistance element within the head portion. In one embodiment, the resistance element defines a plurality of apertures through which a fluid may flow when the device is in use. In one embodiment, the device has a weight of between approximately 6 ounces and approximately 36 ounces.

The training device (9), which is provided for training body parts of a user, in particular the hip muscles, gluteal muscles or pelvic muscles or the arm muscles, comprises a compressive-force receiver (1), which is deformable under the impact of muscular force and which comprises a pressure chamber (10) in which a gel-like, liquid or gaseous medium is provided, a base (2) which, on the one hand, is supportable on a supporting surface and, on the other hand, serves for holding the compressive-force receiver (1), and at least one sensor (51), such as a pressure sensor or a force sensor, with which the medium is in contact and with which the pressure of the medium in the pressure chamber (10) is measurable. According to the invention the compressive-force receiver (1) comprises an elastically deformable first receiver part (11) and a second receiver part (12) which are connected form-fittingly, force-fittingly, or integrally to one another; the first receiver part (11) comprises a wall system (15) which serves to receive the muscular force and which delimits the pressure chamber (10) at the top and at least partially laterally; the second receiver part (12) comprises a bottom unit (16) which delimits the underside of the pressure chamber (10) and which adjoins the wall system (15); the second receiver part (12) has a lower elasticity than the first receiver part (11), preferably in parallel to the direction in which the muscular force acts; and the second receiver part (12) is connected releasably, form-fittingly or force-fittingly, or integrally to the base (2).

The present application belongs to the field of design of fitness equipment, and discloses a water resistance rowing machine, including a support frame body, being strip-shaped and provided with a slideway; a seat, used for an exerciser to sit down and exercise and slidingly connected to the slideway; a pedal portion, fixedly connected to the support frame body, located on left and right sides of the support frame body and used for the exerciser to tread with his/her feet during exercising; a water resistance tank, fixedly connected to the support frame body through a water resistance tank bracket and internally provided with an adjustable paddle structure; a transmission portion, fixedly connected to the support frame body; and a resilient handheld structure, including a hollow pipe body and a handheld portion arranged outside the hollow pipe body.

An in-water rowing exercise device is provided. The system comprises a vertical metal post positioned against a wall of a pool and an adjustable footrest attached proximate a bottom portion of the post, the footrest fully submerged. The system also comprises two resistance bands, each with a handle and attached to a bracket horizontally attached to an upper portion of the post proximate water level. The bands promote a user with body partially submerged, facing the wall in a partially sitting position, with arms and legs at least partially bent, with feet on the footrest, to grasp and pull the bands toward a shoulder area via the handles and extend user legs until reaching a near supine and upward facing position. The system promotes the user to allow the bands to return to non-extended and a resting position, thus returning the user from the supine position to partially sitting position.
