20110263386 | FOLDING HURDLE - Folding hurdles are disclosed. Some example folding hurdles may include a generally horizontal bar. A first leg may be pivotably coupled to a first end of the generally horizontal bar. The first leg may include a generally horizontally extending first foot and/or may be pivotable between an erected position in which the first foot is oriented generally perpendicular to the generally horizontal bar and a folded position in which the first foot is substantially coplanar with the generally horizontal bar. A second leg may be pivotably coupled to a second end of the generally horizontal bar. The second leg may include a generally horizontally extending second foot and/or the second leg may be pivotable between an erected position in which the second foot is oriented generally perpendicular to the generally horizontal bar and a folded position in which the second foot is substantially coplanar with the generally horizontal bar. | 10-27-2011 |
20110263393 | ADJUSTABLE EXERCISE DEVICES - Adjustable-weight exercise devices are disclosed. An example adjustable-weight exercise device may include an exercise device body; a generally cylindrical cavity extending into the exercise device body and comprising at least one engagement feature; and a generally cylindrical weight insert configured to be slidably received the cavity and comprising a corresponding engagement feature. The engagement feature and the corresponding engagement feature may be configured to releasably engage each other to selectively retain the generally cylindrical weight insert within the generally cylindrical cavity. | 10-27-2011 |
20110319233 | TURN WEIGHT PLATE - Devices, apparatuses, systems and/or methods related to weight plates. Specifically, the disclosed devices, apparatuses, systems and/or methods relate to nested weight plates including a first weight plate increment and a second weight plate increment configured to receive the first weight plate increment. The nested weight plates may include a turning mechanism including a turning circle and/or a screw. The screw may be received by the first weight plate increment such that rotation of the turning circle engages and/or disengages the second weight plate increment. In this manner, a user may select to total weight desired. | 12-29-2011 |
20120102786 | ATHLETIC SHOES - A shoe is disclosed for use in playing soccer or other activities. The shoe is designed to offer greater power and protection for a wearer's foot and ankle. The shoe is formed with a flexible outsole and an adjusted straight last. The upper is designed with a wide toebox and short lacing system. The shoe uses a unique cleat system. These features decrease the chances of injury and also give a player, such as a soccer player, enhanced ball control and power. This shoe can be modified for use, for example as a running shoe, or a casual shoe. | 05-03-2012 |
20120214651 | STABILITY BAR SYSTEM - A stability bar system is disclosed for use in exercising and muscle toning. The system provides an unstable base to engage core muscles while performing exercises. The bar has a central attachment point, and multiple off-center attachment points on which to attach resistance tubing, bands, cables, or straps. The body of the bar is made from rigid plastic or metal, and allows for diverse exercises by providing interchangeable attachments, and multiple configurations, to vary stability and resistance. The bar may also be used to perform body weight exercises. The stability bar system is designed to allow an exerciser to engage core muscles while focusing on other, primary muscles. | 08-23-2012 |
20130072365 | PUSH-PULL HANDLES - An exercise device for performing push ups and pull ups is disclosed. The device contains first and second tubes slidably engaged with a handle, which may be covered by a grip. A spring biases to the two tubes, drawing them inwardly together with respect to the handle. A first foot tube, including a first base, engages the second end of the first tube; a first button connector arranged to selectively lock the first foot tube with respect to the second end of the first tube. A second foot tube, including a second base, engages the second end of the second tube; and a second button connector selectively locks the second foot tube with respect to the second end of the second tube. The device may be engaged with a door frame to perform pull-ups. | 03-21-2013 |
20130137558 | Plyometric Exercise Apparatus - A plyometric exercise device and associated method is disclosed. The device comprises a polyhedron with a plurality of side surfaces. At least two exercise platforms are mounted to a respective two side surfaces of the polyhedron, each of the side surfaces having a respective, opposing, parallel base surface of the polyhedron. The polyhedron is configured such that each of the side surfaces is at a different height above and parallel to a floor when its opposite base surface is set on the floor. A method of exercising using the device includes setting any one of the base surfaces on the floor and exercising on the exercise platform opposing the base surface at the corresponding height, and setting one of the other base surfaces on the floor and exercising on the exercise platform opposing the base surface on the opposing height. | 05-30-2013 |
20130178338 | Extending Pull-Up Bar - An exercise apparatus for pull ups has two L-shaped tubes, each having a first segment and a second segment. The L-shaped tubes are mounted in parallel planes to a mounting bracket, a stabilizer bar, and a pull up bar. The first segment of the L-shaped tube is a first outer tube containing a plurality of telescoping tubes within the outer tube. The apparatus may be lowered or raised by removing the pin from the pin-holes of the plurality of telescoping tubes, sliding at least one inner telescoping tube out from, or into, an outer telescoping tube, and then inserting the pin through the through-hole of the telescoping tubes to lock the adjusted height in place. | 07-11-2013 |
20130190144 | Weighted Vest - A sports vest for fitness training provides body-centered resistance for endurance, agility, and strength training. The vest has a V-shaped front neoprene panel, and a generally identical back neoprene panel. A plurality of auxiliary pockets holds weights along the legs of the each panel. A triangular central pocket hold weights just above the rounded V point on each panel. Interior partitions within the pockets prevent the weights from shifting. Straps secure the vest to a fitness trainee. The vest shape, arrangement of weights, and weight partitions generally maintains a trainee's center of gravity and balance in executing exercise movements. | 07-25-2013 |
20130196824 | Sliding Grip Fitness Apparatus - A multi-purpose, adjustable fitness apparatus is provided for performing exercises; in particular, sliding pull-ups and push-ups. Two in-line metal bars are interposed by a T-connector. A sliding handle grip may be disposed on each bar between a pair of retaining collars. A radius elbow including a foot is attached to each bar. A first adapter for a first setting includes a crossbar and elbow tube is slidably locked to the perpendicular leg of the T-connector. The apparatus may be mounted over a doorframe; the elbow tube and T-connector provides adjustability to fit frames of various widths. A second adapter for a second setting includes a third foot fitted to the T-connector, and provides stability on a horizontal surface. | 08-01-2013 |
