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.

An improved apparatus for physiotherapy includes a lever arm. A biasing device pivotally biases the lever arm about a pivot axis. There is a support configured for supporting the lever arm above an exercise equipment. A harness is configurable on a torso of a user to couple the user to the lever arm. The pivot axis corresponds to an anatomical longitudinal axis of the user and the torso of the user is biased by the lever arm about the anatomical longitudinal axis.

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.

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.

A leg stretching apparatus can be safely used without a risk of damage, with a simple coupling and can be conveniently installed at a site at which leg stretching is desired to enable efficient leg stretching. The leg stretching apparatus includes a fixing plate in which a first fixing plate, which includes a plurality of coupling grooves, and a second fixing plate, which includes a plurality of coupling protrusions corresponding to the coupling grooves, are detachably configured. A fixing part has one end coupled to the first fixing plate and another end equipped with an adjusting part. An elastic string has one end fixed to the fixing part and another end extending in a longitudinal direction of the fixing part, and opposingly branched with two free end portions behind the first fixing plate. A moving part is installed at the second fixing plate to guide the branching of the elastic string.

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.

An improved exercise machine has a stationary longitudinal monorail structure that extends between front and back end stationary exercise platforms, and an exercise platform mounted on a levitated carriage that is reciprocally movable along the monorail between the stationary platforms. Magnetic elements arranged on various opposing surfaces of the carriage and monorail generate magnetic forces that levitate and stabilize the carriage as it moves relative to the monorail thus substantially eliminating contact friction. Springs selectively attachable to the movable platform provide a resistance force for exercising. Pseudo-levitation and eddy brake elements on the carriage and monorail structure further stabilize the carriage and platform.
