A core muscle training apparatus and method is described. The apparatus comprises a harness that is worn by the user, to which a pair of resistance leads are connected at opposing sides of the user's waist approximately above the hips. A resistance force is applied through the resistance leads against an effort force exerted by the user in order to stimulate recruitment and activation of the targeted muscles. By adjusting the direction and the amount of resistance force applied to the resistance leads, the demand on the muscles being targeted can be controlled. The core muscle training apparatus according to embodiments of the present disclosure further offers versatility in the environment in which it can be used. The apparatus can be used, for example, when the user is in a static position or can be used during dynamic functional movements.

A bicycle rack assembly includes a first upright unit that is selectively positioned on a support surface. The first upright unit has an upper end and the upper end receives a rear axle of a first bicycle. In this way a rear wheel of the first bicycle is spaced from the support surface to spin freely when the first bicycle is mounted and pedaled. A second upright unit is slidably coupled to the first upright unit and the second upright unit is selectively positioned on the support surface. The second upright unit has a top end and the top end receives a rear axle of a second bicycle. In that way a rear wheel of the second bicycle is spaced from the support surface to spin freely when the second bicycle is mounted and pedaled.

A two part peg system including a handle used by arm-wrestlers to hold while armwrestling (the peg has a male thread), and a second part which is a peg base having a head that rests on the surface of the table and also a vertical body. The body passes through the leather, foam, wooden top and steel frame. The male portion (thread) of the peg base is responsible of holding leather, foam, wooden top and steel frame only when fastened or locked (the strength and rigidity is attained only when fastened or locked). The female thread of peg base passes through the head as well as the body of the peg base and creates a space to receive the male portion of the peg. The peg base holds the table wooden top including its leather and foam with steel frame together, and allows the peg to sit in it.

The conventionally available tables for armwrestling are assembled upside down with the need of two external bolts to be fastened into pegs. Also, four external bolts are needed to attach the base to the legs. This method is extremely annoying especially when an arm-wrestling team wants to move their table from one place to another. The need for flipping the table top over and positioning it on the floor can damage the leather if there is nothing placed on the floor. In contrast, the present disclosure provides an improved table for armwrestling that enables upright assembly thereof. No external bolts are needed to be attached or detached at the base. None of the upper 4 Allen bolts need to be completely out of their sockets. Once these Allen bolts are out of their path in the solid bar, table top can be easily lifted for disassembly.

A system for use in rehabilitation of a target patient is provided. The system includes at least two bicycle devices for use by the target patient and a second operator other than the target patient. The at least two bicycle devices each include pedals. At least one of the pedals may have at least one sensor mounted thereon for monitoring operation of the first bicycle device and the target's condition. A servomotor is coupled to the pedals for providing gear-like resistance or pedal assistance for the at least two bicycle devices. A controller is programmed to electrically couple the at least two bicycle devices to each other.

An apparatus and method for exercising with a child attached to the legs is disclosed. An example embodiment includes: a child wrap element having a portion that can be wrapped around and secure a child; a leg wrap portion having at least one loop that can be secured to the legs of a user; and a connecting portion integrated between the child wrap portion and the leg wrap portion.
