A physical fitness device that simulates the motion of horseback riding. Innovative features of the present invention include a horseback riding simulation post which extends both vertically, at a vertical angle toward a rider seated on the device, and an upwardly extending longitudinal section which extends toward a rider on the exercise device seat and terminates in a transverse handle which enables the user to grasp the handle with both hands or one hand. There are a pair of parallel crank arms with a respective one of the crank arms adjacent opposite sides of the exercise device with each crank arm having an upwardly extending section extending forwardly or rearwardly.

An inflatable ride-on water toy comprising a stylized body that is connected to a separately inflated safety ring using a variety of configurations.

An exercise equipment with an improved connecting bar connecting an exercise foot retaining device to a resistance, wherein a first longitudinal pedal bar is connected to a first bent longitudinal pedal connector bar and a second longitudinal pedal bar is connected to a second bent longitudinal pedal connector bar, the first and second bent longitudinal connector bars each having a bent angle greater than zero and less than ninety degrees to thereby prevent the occurrence of a dead angle.

A dual-mode exercise apparatus may include an articulating arm assembly coupled through a joint to a support assembly. In an illustrative embodiment, the arm assembly may include a seat centrally mounted above a ball-and-socket joint and a stabilizer member for the hands and/or feet of the user. In a first mode of operation a user sits on the seat and uses his or her core muscles to articulate the seat on the ball-and-socket joint against the resistance provided by, for instance, weights mounted on distal portions of the arm assembly. In certain embodiments the apparatus may further provide a second mode of operation which simulates rowing a kayak. In a corresponding illustrative embodiment a user sits in a second seat positioned rearward of the arm assembly and the arm assembly includes handle members. In operation the user articulates the handles in a manner akin to rowing a kayak.

An armed combat interactive system based on high frequency wireless scoring, comprising a moving device, a combat device, a protecting device, a wireless identification control device and a scoring disposing device. When a first conductive part of one combat device touches a second conductive part of the protecting device corresponding to the other combat device, the wireless identification control device corresponding to one combat device sends a high frequency impulse signal with an ID identification code, and the wireless identification control device corresponding to the other combat device receives the high frequency impulse signal with the ID identification code and sends a scoring signal to the scoring disposing device. The scoring disposing device records the score.

A horse riding exercise machine includes: a saddle support; an operation frame; a pair of operation rods; an elevation rod; a forward-backward rod; a vertical bar; a movable bar; a flywheel; a rotation frame; a main spring; a gear; and a handle. The horse riding exercise machine can be driven without power by using energy stored in the flywheel so noise from the motor and a drive apparatus indoor can be suppressed and energy consumption can be prevented, and, specifically, the horse riding exercise machine can be adjusted suitable for the weight of the user by using the handle and the foot support can be used according to the height of the user.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a balance exercise training equipment having a planar platform with a ballast assembly that lowers its center of mass below a ball-and-socket joint. In an illustrative example, the planar platform may couple to a support assembly through the ball and socket joint to pivot and rotate relative to the support assembly. The ballast assembly may include laterally extending members to releasably receive and retain ballast plates. In response to the laterally extending members receiving and retaining ballast plates, the center of mass may descend below a pivot point of the ball-and-socket joint. In a mount or dismount mode, a locking mechanism may lock the planar platform in a predetermined position to facilitate mounting and dismounting onto the planar platform. Advantageously, a user may adjust the center of mass in accordance with a user's skill level or exercise preference.

A horse shaped riding trainer and method of constructing a horse shaped riding trainer. The riding trainer includes a horse shaped riding structure, a convex shaped, rotating platform, and a post for mounting the horse shaped riding structure to the convex shaped, rotating platform.
