An exercise suit with integrated weights includes a shirt portion and a pants portion that are constructed from a lightweight elastomeric material. A plurality of soft weights are disposed along the shirt and pants portions at locations adjacent to the major muscle groups of the suit wearer. Each of the weights can be permanently secured along the inside facing surface of the shirt and pants, and conform to the shape and movement of the suit wearer. The suit also includes a fitness monitor having a heartbeat sensor, timer and display.

A multifunctional exercise apparatus allows a user to perform a variety of exercises by using the multifunctional exercise apparatus as a pushup bar, a step platform, or a kettlebell. The multifunction exercise apparatus includes a base platform, a left handle, and a right handle. The base platform is used as a structure base to arrange and connect the other components together. The left handle allows the user's left hand to grasp the multifunctional exercise apparatus, while the right handle allows the user's right hand to grasp the multifunctional exercise apparatus

A multifunctional fitness system may allow for high-resistance exercises through the distribution of weight upon a frame pivoting on the ground. In particular implementations, while a user lifts one end of the frame, the opposite end pivots. The weight of another person (and/or that of conventional weighted plates) can be placed on the frame in locations yielding the desired leverage and, thus, resistance felt by the lifter. The frame may have various axes upon which it can pivot and grip points, thus offering a broad range of exercises that can be conducted. Reorienting the frame to be resting on differing sides results in additional feasible exercises. Optional integrated electronics (typically in conjunction with existing smart devices) may use kinematics and/or structural flexing to calculate felt resistance and provide automated instruction to the various users. The may also collapse into a compact, rollable configuration for easy transport.

The present invention relates to wobbly balls and exercise coil springs. A wobbly ball may include a non-spherical rigid, hollow ball body formed of two halves, each half comprising an upper ladle or a lower ladle which are welded together along a central seam therebetween, and defining a hollow cavity therein. A spherical inner ball is captured within the hollow cavity of the hollow ball body of the wobbly ball, so that upon movement of the wobbly ball, the inner ball rolls within the cavity, producing a wobbly, eccentric motion. The exercise coil spring may be formed of a single coiled wire, the coiled spring including a central portion where the coiled wire is coiled to a first diameter that is constant. Opposed flared ends are provided ends of the central portion where the coiled wire is progressively coiled from the first diameter to a second diameter, which is greater.

A wheel spinning exercise system for providing an effective exercise and therapeutic tool useful for releasing carpal tunnel syndrome, strengthening muscles of hands, relieving arthritis, and providing relaxation to an exercise-user. A central disk having a first-aperture, a first-middle-aperture, a second-middle-aperture, and a third-aperture. The device further includes at least one first-cord which passes through the apertures.

The present invention relates to the field of fitness training devices and exercise machines. More specifically, a substantially horizontal exercise machine comprising an exercise platform slidable along one or more rails aligned with the longitudinal axis of the machine structure, the slidable platform spring-biased towards one end of the machine, is tiltable to allow for one end of the machine to be raised or lowered relative to the opposed end of the machine.

Described herein are methods for determining a target musculoskeletal activity cycle (MSKC) to cardiac cycle (CC) timing relationship. The method may include detecting a signal responsive to a cyclically-varying arterial blood flow at a location on a head of a user; providing a recurrent prompt at a frequency of the heart pump cycle using the signal, such that the signal correlates with a magnitude of blood flow adjacent to the location, and the recurrent prompt is provided to guide the user to time performance of a component of a rhythmic musculoskeletal activity with the recurrent prompt; and guiding the user to adjust a timing of the component of the rhythmic musculoskeletal activity to substantially maximize a magnitude of the signal. In some embodiments, the method further includes generating the recurrent prompt by amplifying the sound generated by the blood flow in or in proximity to an ear of the user.

A training device (1) for training abdominal muscles comprising an arm (3) and a handle (2) for holding with two hands, the handle (2) being attached to or forming an integral part of the arm (3). There are disclosed different embodiments allowing a user to hold the handle (2) and to make arch-like training movements in order to train control of abdominal muscle activity.

A hand-held exercise weight has first and second segments that are integrally interconnected to one another at a juncture in a manner that defines an acute angle between the two segments. The resulting configuration may be described as a j-shaped weight or a check-mark-shaped weight or an asymmetrical V-shaped weight, with an inside corner filleted by a first rounded curve and an outside corner filleted by a relatively larger, second rounded curve. The second segment is configured and arranged to alternatively comfortably overlie a person's forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a first orientation by all four fingers; comfortably overlie outwardly facing skin extending between a person's thumb and forefinger when the first segment is comfortably grasped in a second orientation by at least the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb; and fit comfortably between a person's forefinger and middle finger when the first segment is comfortably grasped by the three fingers furthest from the person's thumb.
