Glute bridge exercise apparatus
11577123 · 2023-02-14 ·

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.

Chin-up/pull-up exercise apparatus
11577124 · 2023-02-14 ·

A chin-up/pull-up exercise apparatus is disclosed. The exercise apparatus includes a frame, an overhead assist module, and a chin bar. The chin bar is connected to the frame. The overhead assist module includes a set of pulleys, a harness, and a counter-weight. The set of pulleys, which is connected to the frame, is positioned vertically above the chin bar. The counter-weight is connected to the harness via a cable traveling on the set of pulleys. The exercise machine enables real, full arm extension pull ups regardless of one's upper body strength with applications for physical therapy; physical exercise training; muscle, tendon, and joint rehabilitation; and upper and lower body strength building.

A rowing machine exercise device includes a vertically adjustable rear support base. The vertically adjustable rear support base includes an outer vertical support beam extending down from the rowing machine frame; an inner vertical support beam received in a telescoping manner within the outer support beam through the bottom of the outer support beam; a latch pin assembly mounted to the outer vertical support beam, where the latch pin assembly includes a latch pin biased to extend through the latch pin hole and any of the adjustment holes that are vertically aligned with the latch pin hole, and where the latch pin assembly includes an actuating tab that overcomes the bias to pull the latch pin from the vertically aligned adjustment hole when actuated; and a lift handle mounted to or part of the outer vertical support beam and/or the rowing machine frame.

Portable frame-mounted training apparatus and method of use
11547893 · 2023-01-10 · ·

A portable frame-mounted training apparatus for removable installation on a door frame or other structure having at least one horizontal trim, the apparatus having a mounting member having a front wall with a receiver for selective removable receipt of a grip member and further having a top wall extending rearwardly from the front wall, the top wall configured to engage the door frame first trim, and a capture member extending rearwardly from the mounting member and having an upper face configured to contact the door frame or other structure somewhat opposite of the first trim, whereby engagement of the top wall with the first trim serves as a pivot point for the apparatus to rotationally bring the upper face of the capture member into contact with the door frame or other structure and thereby secure the apparatus on the door frame or the like.

Data-collecting exercise device

An exercise device comprises a rigid rod having a first and second ends, a plurality of light sources arranged in a row along at least a portion of an axis extending between the first and second ends of the rigid rod, at least one load sensor for detecting an applied longitudinal force, and a processor coupled to the at least one load sensor and to the plurality of light sources. The processor is configured to execute machine-executable instructions that cause the processor to obtain a signal indicating a magnitude of the applied longitudinal force, and cause a subset of the plurality of light sources to emit light. A ratio of a number of light sources in the subset to a total number of the plurality of light sources represents the magnitude of the applied longitudinal force relative to a reference longitudinal force.
