Using a combination of jump rope, resistance band and boxing fitness instruments, one can get a robust anaerobic and aerobic exercise experience. However, traditional jump rope equipment requires the operator to be in a location that has ample height and space around them to accommodate the range of the rope being swung around the body. In addition, the ground surface that a traditional jump rope would be hitting may not always be ideal such as carpet, sand, and the like which diminishes the rhythm of the workout. The single unit multi-purpose jump fitness, boxing training and resistance strength device described herein eliminates the need for most of these restrictive considerations as there is no “rope” to jump over when in jump rope workout mode. Rather, the operator swings two specialized end handle units in a “jump rope” fashion while holding adjustable jump handles.

An exercise machine tension device securing system for safely and efficiently securing selectable biasing members to an exercise machine. The exercise machine tension device securing system generally includes an exercise machine including a frame and a carriage movably positioned on the frame. A plurality of tension devices may be connected to the frame at one end; with the other end being removably connected to the carriage by a selection device. The selection device may include a plurality of slots for removably receiving one or more of the tension devices to secure the tension devices selectively to the carriage. A securing member movably connected to the selection device includes projections adapted to selectively enclose the slots so as to secure the tension devices within the slots of the selection device.

An exercise machine with a slidable carriage and accessories providing for a plurality of exerciser positioning surfaces and gripping handles. The exercise machine generally includes one or more lifting handles for raising or lowering either end of the exercise machine with respect to a ground surface. The exercise machine may also include a plurality of wheels each including a ridge adapted to engage with a corresponding groove in a track of the exercise machine. The exercise machine may also include a handle including a pair of arms which are positioned at a distance just greater than a width of the carriage.

Embodiments of an exercise device for squat training are disclosed. The exercise device disclosed herein provides users with a stable lower extremity base to help assure good motor function of the squat exercise to improve efficient flexibility, coordination, strength, and endurance development.

A trampoline includes a bounce fabric, a plurality of fabric clamps and a fixed frame. The bounce fabric is connected to the fabric clamps, and one end of the fabric clamp is connected to one end of a spring. The fixed frame includes connectors and frame grooved pipes. The surface of the frame grooved pipe is provided with a grooved-pipe horizontal channel, and the other end of the spring is connected to the grooved-pipe horizontal channel on the surface of the frame grooved pipe. The connector is provided with a grooved-pipe connecting end and a support-pipe connecting end. The inner side of the grooved-pipe connecting end is provided with a through hole, and the surface of the grooved-pipe connecting end is provided with a groove. One end of the frame grooved pipe is arranged in the through hole. The groove is arranged in the grooved-pipe horizontal channel.

An exercise machine includes a cable. It further includes an interface to a moveable camera device coupled with the exercise machine. It further includes a processor configured to receive a cable-based measurement associated with an exercise performed by a user. The processor is further configured to receive, from the moveable camera device, video information associated with the exercise. The processor is further configured to provide a workout determination based at least in part on both the cable-based measurement and the video information received from the moveable camera device.

Systems and methods are presented for performing exercises to strengthen, e.g., the transversus abdominis and related muscles. The systems and methods may involve one or more independent belts, allowing a full range of continuous motion. The systems and methods may further use a resistance-control mechanism that allows a user to adjust the force required to move the one or more belts, thereby controlling the rate of motion in the forward and/or backward directions. The systems and methods may further use a unidirectional resistance mechanism that allows the user to increase the resistance of the one or more belts in one direction, while allowing the one or more belts to move freely in the other direction.

In one example, a muscle exercise device includes a first arm and a second arm rotatably connected to the first arm, and the second arm and the first arm are configured to cooperatively define a recess having a shape that changes as one of the first arm and the second arm moves toward, or away from, the other of the first arm and the second arm. The muscle exercise device further includes a resistance element configured to reside in the recess and be compressed between the first arm and the second arm so as to assume a configuration similar to the shape of the recess. Finally, a wireless transmitter chip is disposed in either the first arm or the second arm, and the wireless transmitter chip is responsive to communications from an app residing on a user device.
