A fitness tool for a user to use in performing stretching or other fitness activities may include a first member including (i) a first elongated shaft, the first elongated shaft including a first interface feature on a first end of the first elongated shaft, and (ii) a handle disposed at the second end. A second member may include a second elongated shaft, where the second elongated shaft may include a second interface feature at a first end of the second elongated shaft. The first and second interface features, when longitudinally engaged with one another, may enable the first and second shafts to rotate relative to one another. The second elongated shaft may include a hand or foot engagement mechanism.

A variable resistance exercise device is provided that comprises a pair of arm bands and a handle tube that has a longitudinal interior bore. The tube has first and second ends and includes a solid metal center shaft fitted through the interior bore thereby exposing respective first and second end portions of the shaft at the respective first and second ends of the tube. The first and second band arm of the pair of bands arms are respectively fitted onto the first and second ends of the shaft. In some instances, the device is part of a kit that includes a base having a bottom face, where the bottom face includes a groove, and one or more elastic bands, each such band configured to removably couple the base to the exercise bar by fitting the into the groove of the base and through the first and second arm bands.

A workout bench apparatus comprising a plurality of walls wherein the plurality of walls include spaced apart downward facing protuberances with empty spaces between the downward facing protuberances; and a rigid plank structure attached to the plurality of walls, the rigid plank structure including a substantially flat upper surface.

A golf swing training device having components that may be worn by a user during a golf swing. The device may include a belt portion, a stretchable connecting member, and a glove, which is worn on a user's leading hand when swinging a golf club. The glove may include a harness that wraps around a user's hand. To use the golf swing training device, a user fastens the belt around their midsection so that it is snug. One end of the connecting member may be attached to the belt at the appropriate attachment point and the other end may be attached to the glove or harness. As the user begins their backswing, the connecting member stretches and provides resistance to the hand. The stretched connecting member promotes proper club head alignment in the backswing and forward swing.

A boxing training accessory comprises a hand held punching pad with an image of a human face that has a small boxing bag hanging from a lower part of it, representing a human chin/jaw. The accessory provides a more specific target for a user to practice striking techniques and striking combinations while also providing a more realistic look and feel. The training accessory is useful across a range of combat sports including boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, karate, taekwondo, MMA and others.

A golf hip-turn training device according to the present disclosure includes: an anchor section including a body having a band shape, a first ring coupled at a second side of the body, and a fixer that is formed at a first side of the body and configured to be coupled to a fixed object; a resistance load section including an elastic member that has a rope shape, and one or more second rings that are coupled to ends of the elastic member and fastened to the first ring; and a strap section having a loop band shape and including a third ring coupled at a first side of the strap section to hold the elastic member and to enable the elastic member to pivot around the third ring, wherein a second side is formed to wrap around a hip and a portion of a femoral region of a user.

A physical training system includes a belt having a belt attachment member and a first band attachment loop for an elastomeric belt. The belt attachment member is moveably positioned on the belt and at least partially encircles the belt. The belt attachment member comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending completely across a width of the belt on the outer side of the belt, and the second portion extending at least partially across the width of the belt on the inner side of the belt. The first band attachment loop is moveably connected to the belt attachment member. The elastomeric band extends through the first band attachment loop. A foot coupling includes at least one flexible strap and a second band attachment loop. The elastomeric band extends between the foot coupling and the belt attachment member.

A lightweight, portable leg strengthening apparatus includes a footplate and calf support which form a leg rest, a top a friction free sliding element running longitudinally along and supported on a rectangular base. The leg rest is hinged at its attachment to the sliding element to allow a longitudinal tilting movement. The leg rest has adjustability at the hinge point at the ankle to enable alterations in the foot position. The apparatus uses resistance material/rubber cords or springs attached via a plate to a steel cable, travelling via an aperture in the end of the device to the back of the sliding element a top the body of the device to create tension as the leg rest a top the sliding element is moved longitudinally along the body of the device. Resistance can be varied and progressed by using different numbers of resistance cords/springs.

A fitness chair for utilizing exercise resistance bands for a safe full body workout is disclosed. The fitness chair includes a chair frame having a seat member and a backrest member; a first hollow member coupled to the chair frame, the first hollow having a first exercise resistance band passing therethrough; a base frame engaging with the chair frame via one or more chair legs, the base frame having a second hollow member and a third hollow member running parallel therebetween, the second hollow member having a second exercise resistance band passing therethrough, and the third hollow member having a third exercise resistance band passing therethrough.

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.
