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.

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.

The present application provides a fitness resistance band. The fitness resistance band includes a handle assembly and a resistance band body, where the handle assembly includes a handle body and sleeve rings, first connecting parts are further disposed on the sleeve rings, and the resistance band body is connected to the first connecting parts. The handle assembly is provided with the handle body and the sleeve rings, the sleeve rings can rotate relative to the handle body. In use, the resistance band body can rotate together with the sleeve rings, so that relative rotation occurs between the sleeve rings and the handle body, friction between the resistance band body and the handle body is avoided, and the resistance band body is protected from wear.

An adjustable or non-adjustable exercise/Pilates/Yoga bar apparatus comprising a portable fitness device where a first horizontal elongated bar is attached to a second horizontal elongated bar or can have a variation of single bar, having multiple plastic tubes on each side of a single weight where each elastic tube has different resistance weight and when in use the assembly sits on top of the user's shoulders, and has the variation of an adjustable strap or a non-adjustable strap with a hook on each end of the bar, to which the elastic tubes attach to. At the other bottom end of each elastic tube, there is a ring to where the hook on the wide foot strap attaches to provide stability.

A core training apparatus for the golf swing. A semicircular member is coupled with a support member, and a resistance member is connected to one of the coupling points. The resistance member is secured to a fixed point, and the user rotates the apparatus back and forth with the user standing at the center rotational axis of the semicircular member, with the resistance member being guided along the semicircular member. The back-and-forth rotation acts to increase and decrease tension on the resistance member thereby exercising the core of the user.

An arm-training device, and methods of making and using such an arm-training device, whereby the arm-training device includes a flexible elongate member having an elastic length disposed between opposing first and second ends; a first loop formed proximate the first end; a second loop formed proximate the second end; a first slide coupled to the first loop, the first slide movable along the length of the elongate member; and a second slide coupled to the second loop, the second slide movable along the length of the elongate member.

An exercise chair includes a chair frame, and a base fixed with the chair frame that is adapted to support the exercise chair on a floor surface. The base and chair frame have a plurality of anchors projecting away therefrom. A cushion may cover at least a portion of the frame. Multiple resistance bands each have multiple longitudinal slots therethrough, each adapted for selective fixing with any of the anchor knobs or several attachable exercise devices. In use, with the person seated in the chair and the chair resting on the support surface, one or two of the resistance bands can be fixed with any of the anchor knobs, so that the person can exercise by pushing and/or pulling the at least one resistance band. Different types of attachments are included for exercising varying muscle groups.

A training device includes an elastic training band with an integrated strain sensor and an electronic measuring unit. The training device has a thickening formed at ends of the training band, which locally increases the cross-section of the training band.

An article of manufacture for providing a lower leg and Achilles tendon exercise device according to the present invention, the exercise device includes a top frame structure having a first plurality of connection hooks about its perimeter, a bottom frame structure oriented in parallel to the top frame structure having a second plurality of hooks about its perimeter, a plurality of vertical support members coupled between the top frame structure and the bottom frame structure, a shoe support member having a plurality of connection hooks positioned about an outer edge, and a plurality of stretchable cords configured to couple the shoe support member to the top frame structure and the bottom frame structure, the stretchable cords coupled to the top frame structure position the shoe support member above the bottom support structure.

The present disclosure relates to an elastic unit with adjustable elasticity and elastic modulus and to an operation method thereof. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an elastic unit with adjustable elasticity and elastic modulus, which comprises: an elastic element having a plurality of division areas longitudinally; and elasticity adjustment modules that are laid out in each of the division areas of the elastic element and activate or inactivate the elastic element partially depending on the division areas to adjust an elasticity and an elastic modulus of the elastic element.
