A resistance water board paddling system includes a board attachment unit having functionality for engaging a water board such as a surfboard, a paddleboard or a kayak. At least one elongated resistance band is removably connected to the board attachment unit, and includes a predetermined resistance level for simulating the resistance encountered by a user paddling a board along a water surface. An anchor assembly having an inelastic tether is coupled to the other end of the at least one resistance band. A ground anchor is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether or a skimmer attachment device is selectively and removably attached to the other end of the inelastic tether. The anchor assembly functioning to immobilize the system during user operation.

A glute bridge exercise apparatus enables a user to variously exercise glute muscle groups, and includes a first and second platform assemblies. The first platform assembly includes a first platform portion, a first peripheral frame, and a pair of first extension legs. The pair of first extension legs are telescopically receivable in and extensible from laterally opposed frame portions of the first peripheral frame. The second platform assembly includes a second platform portion, a second peripheral frame, and a platform support portion. A proximal frame end is pivotally attached to the first platform assembly adjacent the pair of first extension legs. The platform support portion is pivotally attached to a distal frame end and enables a user to adjust an angle of inclination of the second platform portion relative to the first platform portion for positioning the user between the first and second platform portions for variously exercising muscle groups.

An exercise assistance device, in order to be able to easily increase exercise intensity, inhibit an injury by applying a load to a user only when the user works out, and effectively improve muscular power of various parts, includes a main body configured to be worn on the body of a user, an elastic band formed in a band shape having elasticity and having a first end configured to be connected to the main body and a second end configured to be connected to a fixed supporting structure, in which the elastic band applies a predetermined load to a user wearing the main body when the user works out at a predetermined distance from the second end of the elastic band fixed to the supporting structure.

A multifunctional chair is provided. The multifunctional chair includes a supporting body, a telescopic structure, a seat body, and a pedal assembly. The pedal assembly includes a fixing rod, a movable rod, an operation portion, and an elastic resistance member. The telescopic structure is connected to the supporting body and configured to be operated to telescopically move relative to the supporting body. One end of the fixing rod is fixed to the supporting body. The movable rod is movably connected to the fixing rod. The operation portion is arranged at an end of the movable rod away from the fixing rod. Two ends of the elastic resistance member are respectively connected to the supporting body and the fixing rod. A user can push against the operation portion to rotate the movable rod and the fixing rod toward the ground, and the elastic resistance member provides an elastic resistance.

An exercise apparatus includes first and second elastic, elongate cables each having a first end portion configured to be grasped by a user, and a second end portion configured to be detachably coupled to one another. The cables are together configured to provide resistance to being stretched along their lengths in response to an application of a tension force and return to their unstretched lengths upon the user releasing the tension force. The first cable has a first elasticity, and the second cable has a second elasticity that is different than the first elasticity of the first cable.

An exercise apparatus for a person to exercise on a support surface includes two side frames that each include a base member, and a front member and a rear member each pivotally attached to the base member. Each side frame is aligned and mutually fixed together at a rear support member joining the rear members and at a front support member joining the front members. Two barbell support members each have a hook at an upper end thereof for supporting a barbell, and are fixed upright on the base members. The exercise apparatus can be configured into a collapsed configuration, circular weights of the barbell acting as wheels while the person grasps and lifts the front sides of the base members. As such the person is able to wheel the exercise apparatus along the support surface. The exercise apparatus may then be reconfigured into an expanded configuration for use.

A personal exercise system including an exercise bar having opposing end portions, a grip portion intermediate to the end portions wherein the grip portion is w-shaped, and an elongate resistance band removably secured to at least one of the end portions. Each end portion of the exercise bar includes a loop for accepting a fastener at the end of the elongate resistance band. The loop is operable to pivot about the longitudinal axis of the exercise bar. The system further includes at least one support member each having a groove for receiving an end portion of the exercise bar.

An exercise machine is provided which is configured to place a user in an exercise position, wherein movement during exercise against a load will target the gluteus maximus muscles. The exercise machine positions the body of a user in a lowered or exercise position which supports the user while raising their body to an elevated position, in a manner to stabilize the user and direct movement of the user along the sagittal plane during use, while concurrently isolating the gluteus maximus muscles as the muscles overcoming the load.

An exercise apparatus for targeting the hip muscles is disclosed. The apparatus consists of a plurality of supports, a footboard, and a belt wherein elastic bands may be attached to the belt and to the base supports to provide resistance. The apparatus is fully adjustable for targeting muscles of interest, and collapsible for ready transport. Adjustable handles are optionally provided to maintain user stability and thus maximize the effectiveness of the exercise. A method of using the exercise equipment is also provided.

A workout system is provided that includes a piece of furniture having at least a backrest and a seat. A chair workout machine is provided coupled to the piece of furniture. The chair workout machine includes a support frame coupled to at least one structure of the piece of furniture. At least one rotatable arm is rotatably attached to the support frame. One or more resistance elements are coupled to the at least one rotatable arm, where the resistance elements arranged to provide resistance to movement by at least one body part of a user.
