Self-housed portable exercise equipment
Exercise equipment includes a case having first and second parts. The first part is movable relative to the second part and defines a closed state in which an interior compartment is defined and an open state in which the interior compartment is accessible. The first and second parts each have a bottom panel and at least one side panel extending from an outer edge thereof. The first part includes a pair of connection implements in or on side panels opposite one another. In a use state, a connection pin engages with the connection implements, a pneumatic cylinder connects to the connection pin and includes an extendable actuating rod, and an attachment is attachable to the actuating rod and allows a user to interact therewith to exercise. The connection pin, pneumatic cylinder, and attachment fits in the interior compartment in their storage state.
Wearable exercise apparatuses
An exercise apparatus includes a pair of apparatuses wearable on feet of a user. Each apparatus is configurable between expanded configurations and compressed configurations to simulate a selected motion when the user wearing the pair of apparatuses travels by foot. One of the apparatuses can move towards an expanded configuration while the other apparatus moves towards a compressed configuration.
Methods and apparatus for balance support systems
An apparatus includes a plate configured to support a user standing thereon, a set of fluid chambers configured to support at least a portion of the plate, and an electronic assembly in communication with at least one sensor. The sensor configured to sense a first operating condition associated with at least one of the set of fluid chambers and the plate. The electronic assembly is configured to define a second operating condition based at least in part on a difference between the first operating condition and a predetermined operating condition. The electronic assembly is configured to send (1) a first signal operable to transition each fluid chamber from a first configuration, associated with the first operating condition, to a second configuration, associated with the second operating condition, and (2) a second signal operable to graphically represent data associated with the second operating condition on a display of an electronic device.

Exercise device
An exercise device for performing multiple exercise movements. The device includes a track, a track carriage, and a variable resistance system so that users can exercise multiple muscle groups. The resistance system provides assistance to the user during certain exercise movements and increased difficulty during other exercise movements.
Resistance exercise device
A resistance exercise device includes: an elongated handle having first and second handle ends; an elongated element having first and second ends defining a longitudinal axis, at least part of the elongated element being flexible; a coupling connecting the elongated element near the first end to the elongated handle near the first handle end; and resistance fins attached to the elongated element, disposed around and along part of the elongated element, and oriented outwardly from the longitudinal axis, the elongated element and attached resistance fins being at least generally symmetrical along the longitudinal axis, whereby when whirled, the elongated element and the attached resistance fins prevent rotation about the longitudinal axis and produce a substantially continuous resistance exercise. A method of exercising includes: providing the resistance exercise device; holding the elongated handle by a user; and whirling the elongated element and attached fins about the elongated handle.
INCENTIVE SPIROMETER FOR SUSTAINED MAXIMAL INSPIRATION
An incentive spirometer is disclosed having a helical tube, wherein the helical tube includes a first inlet, second outlet, third outlet, and fourth outlet. The spirometer further includes a chamber, wherein the chamber is in fluid communication with the first inlet, second outlet, third outlet, and fourth outlet of the helical tube; and an object disposed within the spirometer, wherein the object is adapted to move through the first inlet of the helical tube and through either the second outlet, third outlet, or fourth outlet. In addition, the spirometer further includes an inhalation draw tube in fluid communication with the chamber and helical tube.
EXERCISE DEVICES
An exercise device includes spaced-apart exercise members engageable by appendages of an exerciser and moveable in opposed directions, a body support member for supporting an exerciser and a platform below the body support member. A synchronizing drive system connects the exercise members with the body support member for moving the body support member in opposite directions relative to the platform by movement of the exercise members in opposite directions, respectively.
PORTABLE EXERCISE APPARATUS COMPRISING RESISTANCE GENERATING MEMBER IN THE FORM OF A PLUNGER CARRIED ON LIMB RECEIVING MEMBER OF THE EXERCISE APPARATUS
An exercise apparatus for use in for example a leg exercise comprises at least one track each extending in a respective longitudinal direction, and each carrying in sliding movement therealong a limb receiving member for supporting a limb of the user. The apparatus includes a resistance generating member in the form of a plunger cooperating with a stop surface to provide gradual resistance to movement of the limb receiving member in a user-driven direction. The resistance generating member is mounted on the limb receiving member so as to be movable therewith and is arranged for releasable contact with the stop surface defined on the respective track.
Multi-head, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus for use with a slip and counter fight simulation / workout machine or stand alone device for fight simulation
A free standing fight simulation workout machine with a fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus is adapted to be used in conjunction with a slip and counter fight simulation apparatus or stand alone apparatus. The fight simulation multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed apparatus includes a multi-headed member having at least one head attached to at least one abdomen and at least one arm having a glove appending member. Preferably, multiple heads are attached to multiple abdomens with multiple arm pairs to provide different punch configurations for the user to strike at. The multi-headed, multi-abdomen, multi-armed provides various angles adapted for a user to punch, knee, and/or do a flying knee.
