The invention concerns a modular exercise system having a first support frame module having a plurality of frame members, each member being joined to an adjacent frame member and oriented in a common plane such that the first support frame is two-dimensional in form. The modular exercise system further requires a weight source mounted on the first support frame, a plurality of pulleys mounted to different frame members of the first support frame, and a cable running from the weight source over the pulleys to connect the weight source to one or more manual actuator for performing a resistance exercise in use. The first support frame has one or more attachment formation for selective attachment to one or more further support frame module. The further support frame module is also two-dimensional in form and attachable to the first support frame in an orientation within the common plane, wherein the further support frame module has one or more further manual actuator.

An exercise equipment assembly includes a stationary base including a front elongated support structure, a back elongated support structure, and a support body coupled between the front and back elongated support structures. An elongated handle is coupled to the support body and extends vertically away from the support body. The elongated handle includes a first pivot assembly coupled to the support body that allows the elongated handle to pivot about its vertical axis. A knee supporting structure is coupled to the support body and includes a second pivot assembly coupled to the support body. First and second knee supporting structures are coupled to the second pivot assembly, the first and second knee supporting structure extending horizontally away from the second pivot assembly in a direction generally opposite from the elongated handle. The second pivot assembly allows the first and second knee supporting structures to pivot about its vertical axis.

An exercise system may include a stationary bicycle, a free weight cradle incorporated into the stationary bicycle, pedals incorporated into the stationary bicycle, a display, one or more processors, and memory. The memory may store programmed instructions of the programmed workout that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to: automatically alternate, by the programmed instructions of the programmed workout, between biking portions of the programmed workout and lifting portions of the programmed workout; automatically control, by the programmed instructions of the programmed workout, a resistance level of the pedals during the biking portions of the programmed workout; and automatically present, by the programmed instructions of the programmed workout, lifting instructions on the display, the lifting instructions configured to instruct a user on lifting one or more free weights during the lifting portions of the programmed workout.

A linkage mechanism with handles linked to an elliptical motion trajectory includes a main body having two guiding tracks with a changeable lifting angle, a flywheel assembly and two handles installed on a front side of the main body, a first linkage rod pivotally attached between the two handles and two cranks of the flywheel assembly. The two pedals respectively include a front end, and a second linkage rod is pivotally attached between the front end and each one of the cranks. A third linkage rod is pivotally attached between each one of the pedals and each one of the handles. Each one of the pedals along each one of the guiding tracks, and drives each one of the handles and the flywheel assembly to move.

Provided is a walking training apparatus which includes: a main body to be ridden by a walking trainee; a footrest part coupled to the main body rotatably to support feet of the walking trainee; and an upper body support part coupled to the main body at a position spaced apart from the footrest part to support an upper body of the walking trainee and thus disperse load supported by the footrest part, wherein the upper body support part supports an armpit and a forearm of the walking trainee.

A free weight assembly includes a cradle, an aerobic exercise element that is movable with respect to the cradle during the performance of an exercise, at least one free weight removable from the cradle, an input in communication with a processor that determines a time to instruct a user to remove the free weight, and an indicator that activates when the time to remove the free weight arrives.

In one embodiment, an exercise equipment assembly includes a stationary base including a front elongated support structure, a back elongated support structure, and a support body coupled between the front and back elongated support structures. The exercise equipment assembly further includes an elongated handle coupled to the support body and extending generally vertically away from the support body, the elongated handle including a first pivot assembly coupled to the support body, the pivot assembly to allow the elongated handle to pivot about its vertical axis and a knee supporting structure coupled to the support body. The knee supporting structure includes a second pivot assembly coupled to the support body, a first knee supporting structure coupled to the second pivot assembly, the first knee supporting structure extending horizontally away from the second pivot assembly in a direction generally opposite from the elongated handle, and a second knee supporting structure coupled to the second pivot assembly, the second knee supporting structure extending horizontally away from the second pivot assembly in a direction generally opposite from the elongated handle in which the second pivot assembly to allow the first and second knee supporting structures to pivot about its vertical axis.

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an exercise machine including a supporting mechanism, two driving units, and a resistance device. The supporting mechanism supports the two driving units and the resistance device. The two driving units are respectively mounted at the left and the right side of the supporting mechanism for the user to operate. When the exercise machine is operated with a small pace, the resistance device is operated in both directions to eliminate the blockage when switching the operating direction of the driving units. When the exercise machine is operated with a large pace, the resistance device can provide resistance for the driving units in either direction.
