Outdoors training system and methods for designing monitoring and providing feedback of training. The system comprising a computing device, I/O subsystem for permitting a user to enter at least one attribute of the training or of the trainee, a plurality of sensors for generating sensory information, an outdoors training environment in which a training activity takes place, a database containing training related information. The outdoors training system configured for at least one of the following: design a training program for a plurality of users, monitor training program performance, monitor training performance, instruct a user about the training, determine and/or set difficulty level in training apparatus.

A gait trainer adapted for use with a treadmill and, optionally, a spinning cycle, provides greater accessibility for therapeutic and rehabilitative gait pattern training to individuals confronting injury, illness, or disability. The gait trainer is adjustable, to accommodate a wide variety of users with different stride lengths and needs.

An improved fitness/exercise apparatus using a full or half tire that rotates 360 degrees about a fixed axle. A user lifts/pushes the tire, thus rotating the tire end over end, while the apparatus creates resistance to the rotation via a variety of means, such as a magnetic brake, a viscous brake, a pad and disk brake, or a motor-controlled brake system.

A resistance harness that allows 360 of resistance around the body and in any plane of motion (sagittal, transverse, frontal, oblique). The strap design allows rings to slide from anterior to posterior or medial to lateral. The rings enable concentric, eccentric, or isometric resistance. This sliding ability allows for resistance to be constant in one direction or changeable. As the ring slides under tension, the muscular recruitment needed to resist will change as the force angle of the ring slides and changes position around the body.

An exercise ring includes a ring comprising a flexible and inelastic material, and the ring includes a plurality of strands in a braid. A plurality of handles are disposed on opposing sides of the ring. The plurality of handles includes a cylindrical body having a first end, a second end, and a center portion, and the plurality of handles can provide an ergonomic gripping surface.

A resistance training system. The training system includes a tackle providing mechanical advantage, and a user performs strength training exercises by pulling or pushing on the running block while resisting motion of the running block by pulling or pushing on the free end of the runner.
