An exercise system is provided. The exercise system includes an exercise mat having a top surface and a bottom surface. At least one mat insert configured for removable disposal with the mat, wherein the at least one insert is configured to align with portions of a towel for connection of the towel to the top surface. Systems and methods are disclosed.

An exercise machine may include a reciprocating linkage that supports one or more pedals configured to move in a closed loop (e.g., elliptical) path as a user exercises with the machine. The exercise machine may be adjustable to vary a characteristic of the exercise provided by the machine, for example by changing an incline of a rail supporting the reciprocating linkage, and thus an angle of the closed loop path. The exercise machine may vary the incline with a lift mechanism operatively associated with the front upright frame of the machine, which may also support a resistance assembly, all in a compact form factor that may be more aesthetically pleasing and practical for relatively smaller exercise spaces.

A sand training bag for sand and/or mineral training in an open and closed configuration. The sand pit training bags includes a sand pit training bag configuration comprising at least one fastener and at least one overlaying fabric around the perimeter to open flat on a surface. The sand training bag includes attachable wall structure, wherein the surface attachable wall structure is configured with a sand pit training bag in an open configuration visible relative to a sand or mineral pit held by one or more fasteners. The sand training bag includes a single sand pit training bag, wherein the single sand pit training bag is convertible to a single sand pit with at least one attachable perimeter wall around the perimeter of the open sand or mineral receiving surface configuration, wherein a top cover is configured to be viewed as a sand or mineral pit closed configuration. In one embodiment, the number of sand training bags with at least one attachable perimeter removably attached to another sand training bag is unlimited.

The invention disclosed comprises an apparatus, method of using, assembling and stowing the apparatus, and a kit including the apparatus and components for training players to achieve lift when kicking a football that requires an angled trajectory. The invention functions to provide a physical point of reference and visual target for a kicker to establish consistent kicking skills and achieve predictable angles. The apparatus is sturdy, easily and reversibly disassembled, and stored as part of a durable, packable kit to organize the required training gear. The method includes a series of steps whereby the apparatus is assembled; a kicker kicks the ball; if the angle of the kick is sufficient to lift the ball over the apparatus it will go over the visual target, if not it will fall under the visual target. The kit comprises at least a carry bag with various pockets for the device and related equipment.

A training glove for catching baseball, softball, or the like comprises a cushioned pad attached to the heel of the glove. The pad can prevent a ball bouncing out of the glove and can decelerate a ball hitting the pad. The training glove is useful for preventing injuries to beginning players, especially children. The pad may be permanently or reversibly attached to the glove and may contain a pocket for storing a mouth guard or other small objects and may be a part of a kit for modifying a glove or mitt to comprise the pad.

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 treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.
