A golf swing training device for controlling head movements of a golfer during a swing includes a vertical support assembly, a horizontal arm coupled to the vertical support assembly, and a head engaging assembly carried by the horizontal arm. The head engaging assembly includes a generally U-shaped collar divided into two half portions hingedly coupled together and movable between an open position and a closed position. At least one of the two half portions has a coupling removably receiving the horizontal arm.

A stair exerciser apparatus includes a frame having a pair of inclined supports, a drive mechanism, and a plurality of stairs coupled to the drive mechanism for traveling around the pair of inclined supports. The driving mechanism has an upper shaft, a lower shaft and at least one drive chain mounted around the upper shaft and the lower shaft. A clutch mechanism is coupled to the upper shaft or the lower shaft of the drive mechanism. A flywheel is operationally coupled to the clutch mechanism, where the clutch mechanism couples the motion of the stairs to the rotation of the flywheel when the stairs are driven in a downward direction, and where the clutch mechanism decouples the motion of the stairs from the rotation of the flywheel when the stairs cease to be driven in the downward direction.

A device adapted to adhere to a yoga mat comprises a body comprising a convex portion and a planar portion, and an adhesive element on the planar portion for adhering the body to the yoga mat.

A handstand pushup device has a central body portion that includes a padded cushion, and two handplates, positioned laterally on opposite sides of the central body portion. Each of the handplates has a flat upper surface that is slip resistant. Two elongate blocks are also provided, each of the elongate blocks having a bottom surface and an inner surface. The bottom surface interlocks with the one of the handplates for removably mounting the elongate block on the handplate. The inner surface of the elongate blocks limits the placement of a user's hands while performing handstand pushups using the device, so that the user's hands are not placed too far apart when performing the handstand pushups.

The gluteal muscles are exercised using a vertical lift strategy. It is much improved over common buttock exercise methods of sitting, laying, squatting or pushing weight horizontally. The (GM) power lift apparatus is operated in a standing position. Using commercial exercise design methods, the GM power lift apparatus is designed around the lifting of a variable weight plate stack. Three pullies redirect the pull force of the weight plate under the operator's foot as lift on the gluteus maximus muscle group. The new standing design allows improved muscle agitation by making the gluteus maximus muscle group lift a vertical payload, the maximum angle of force. During the power lift stroke, the foot, leg and back muscles are vertically synchronized to horizontal stretched forearms providing greater strength management.

It is disclosed an apparatus for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment comprising a multidirectional trunk support system and a device for epidural electrical stimulation. The robotic interface is capable of evaluating, enabling and training motor pattern generation and balance across a variety of natural walking behaviors in subjects with neuromotor impairments. Optionally, pharmacological cocktails can be administered to enhance rehabilitation results. It is also disclosed a method for the evaluation, enablement and training of a subject suffering from neuromotor impairments by combining robotically assisted evaluation tools with sophisticated neurobiomechanical and statistical analyses. A method for the rehabilitation (by this term also comprising restoring voluntary control of locomotion) of a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment in particular partial or total paralysis of limbs, is also disclosed.

A console for an exercise machine has a console housing providing a user interface for controlling the exercise machine and a media rack removably attached to the console housing and having a shelf sized to support a media item. At least one touch input element is on the media rack and is operable to control an auxiliary device on the exercise machine.

A golf training device comprised of a planar quadrilateral-shaped adjustable frame having vertically extendable sway bars that assists a golfer to establish a proper stance and “body turn” during a golf swing is disclosed. The device can be easily setup and transported to permit repetitive use, is relatively easy to manufacture, and cost-effective. The adjustable frame, designed to be placed on the ground, consists of a first pair of linear telescoping members coupled at each end by a second pair of linear telescoping members, thereby allowing the user to expand the adjustable frame to increase or decrease the total square area of the frame according to the preferences and stance of the golfer. Furthermore, each top side of the first pair of linear members include vertically extendable sway bars to alert the golfer if he/she is “swaying” rather than turning on the back swing or follow-through.

A treadmill comfort belt includes a strap having a first end portion and a second end portion. Each of the first end portion and the second end portion has a securing member. A lumbar support portion is disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion. A compressible sleeve is disposed over the lumbar support portion. A collar is slidingly disposed over the first end portion and the second end portion. The collar is adapted to slide between the securing members and the sleeve. A method of using the belt is also provided.

A golf swing training tool including an arm band (which connects the elbows) and the club shaft are connected by a cord maintain a prescribed grip angle. The arm band is configured to adjust a distance between the elbows. An elastic clip locks onto the club shaft and is configured to encircle the club shaft, and enables easy changing of the grip angle by using an opening lever to change the locking point with a single touch. As a result, frequent changes in grip angle can be made much more easily. Three types of cords are employed, a low-elasticity cord, a high-elasticity cord, and a cord combining both are used to achieve twelve different types of training methods.
