A multi-mode squat rack includes a frame, a support unit and a handle unit. The frame includes two struts pivotally connected to each other, two stepping boards connected to one of the struts, and a mount pivotally connected to the first strut. The support unit includes a seat post pivotally connected to the first strut, a seat supported on the seat post, a pair of ears supported on a side of the seat post near the first strut, at least one fin supported on an opposite side of the seat post, and an elastic unit arranged between the mount and the fin. The handle unit includes a stem pivotally connected to the first strut, a connection rod formed with an end pivotally connected to the stem and another end pivotally connected to the first strut or the pair of ears, and a handle connected to the stem.

A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.

An exercise bench that allows elderly, obese, and physically challenged individuals to participate in the same exercise regimens as younger, more agile athletes is provided. The exercise bench of the current invention comprises cushioned side supports that stabilize the individual during reclining and during exercise. Due to the nature of the exercises performed in the prone position, an exercise bench is generally narrow in order to allow freedom of movement for the Individual's arms. The narrow bench can provide stability challenges for elderly and obese individuals which the side support cushions address by providing the required stability without interfering with the individual's range of arm motion for exercising. The present invention also includes mechanical means to assist the user in reclining to a prone position, and returning to an upright sitting position. Many individuals who want to use a conventional exercise bench are prohibited from doing so because they lack the abdominal strength to lie down slowly from a sitting position, and return to a sitting position after exercising without assistance. The exercise bench of the current invention overcomes these obstacles.

Disclosed is an arm and leg compound exercise machine using a pair of crank units and a lifting device to adjust leg motion track and exercise tension and allow users to timely adjust the exercise strength for leg exercise. When a foot pedal installed onto the arm and leg compound exercise machine is operated, the motion track produced by the foot pedal is an elliptic motion path, and the elliptic motion track is flat and gentle at the top and arc shaped at the bottom, so that the motion track produced by the users' stepping motion is ergonomic for preventing sports injuries.

Described herein are embodiments of stationary exercise machines having reciprocating foot and/or hand members, such as foot pedals that move in a closed loop path. Some embodiments can include reciprocating foot pedals that cause a user's feet to move along a closed loop path that is substantially inclined, such that the foot motion simulates a climbing motion more than a flat walking or running motion. Some embodiments can further include reciprocating handles that are configured to move in coordination with the foot via a linkage to a crank wheel also coupled to the foot pedals. Variable resistance can be provided via a rotating air-resistance based mechanism, via a magnetism based mechanism, and/or via other mechanisms, one or more of which can be rapidly adjustable while the user is using the machine.

An exercise equipment with a variable load module includes a seating portion providing a space for a user to sit; an external force application portion disposed adjacent to the seating portion and including the rotating bar that rotates about a main rotating axis and a grip portion that is formed on the rotating bar and provides a space for a user to grip; a load application portion disposed at the rear of the seating portion, including a plurality of weights, and connected to the rotating bar with a cable to be raised and lowered according to the rotation of the rotating bar; and a variable load module connecting the rotating bar and the load application portion and allowing the position at which the cable is connected to the rotating bar to vary so that the load applied to the rotating bar changes.

A stationary exercise device having variable footpaths is disclosed. The exercise device includes a frame, a pair of supporting members that have a first end to rotate about an axis and a second end to move along a reciprocating path, a pair of pedals joined to the supporting members, and a guider assembly for adjusting an incline angle of the reciprocating path.

A mountain climbing machine, which does not require connecting with an external electrical power source, includes a running belt, front and rear rollers, and a generator operatively linked to one of the front and rear rollers for generating electrical power when the running belt is running, wherein a rotational speed of said generator is controlled by a consumption of the electrical power generated from the running belt so as to provide a resistance force at one of the front and rear rollers to maintain the running belt at a constant speed without connecting to the external electrical power source.

The invention discloses an elasticity adjusting mechanism of an exercise equipment which includes a base, a staggered frame, an adjusting socket, an elastic body and force exerting member. The base and the staggered frame pivot with each other and constitute the main structure of the elasticity adjusting mechanism of the exercise equipment. The staggered frame extends outwardly from the base and includes an extended socket and a plurality of fixed portions, the fixed portions are disposed on the staggered frame and with different distances to the extended socket. When the adjusting socket is selectively assembled with one of the fixed portions at different positions, the elastic body passing through the extended socket and the adjusting socket changes its elasticity in accordance with extension amount.

An exercise device with a pair of upper links coupled to the frame and a pair of lower links pivotally coupled to the upper links is provided. A pair of pedals is received on a distal end of each of the lower links. A transfer system between the pair of upper links may include a first and a second pushrod, each with a first end pivotally coupled to each upper link and a second end opposite to the first end. A first and a second pivot arm, each pivotally coupled to the frame, may be included, each pivot arm receiving a respective pushrod. A pliable connector may be coupled to the first pivot arm and the second pivot arm, thus providing compliant reciprocating movement of the upper links.
