20090253561 | EXERCISE APPARATUS AND METHOD - An exercise apparatus is disclosed, including a body portion, a first foot extension, connected to the body portion closer to a bottom of the body portion than to a top of the body portion, and a second foot extension connected to the body portion closer to the bottom of the body portion than to the top of the body portion. The exercise apparatus may also include a first bracing device connected to the body portion closer to the top of the body portion than to the bottom of the body portion, and a second bracing device connected to the body portion closer to the top of the body portion than to the bottom of the body portion. The exercise apparatus may further include a first cord attached to a resistance device, wherein an individual can pull the first cord in order to cause the resistance device to exert a tension force on the first cord and thereby on the individual. | 10-08-2009 |
20110306478 | EXERCISE DEVICE - An exercise device for allowing a user to obtain a full body workout includes an innermost tubular member and an outermost tubular member, the tubular members fitted together and longitudinally and slidably movable in a telescoping manner relative to each other during the workout, a chamber within the outermost tubular member, the chamber receiving a compressible gas that provides resistance to relative movement of the tubular members, a collar between the innermost tubular member and the outermost tubular member, a lower limb connector attachment mounted to an end of one of the innermost or outermost tubular members for attachment to a lower limb of a user, and a gripping area at or near an opposite end of the other of the innermost and outermost tubular members to the lower limb connector attachment to stretch and strengthen the user's body muscles during the workout. | 12-15-2011 |
20120202659 | Bicycle speed/resistance attachment - An exercise assembly useful in training a bicyclist for increased speed includes a pair of elastic straps adjustable in their length to stretch between the rear axle of the bicycle and the bicyclist's respective thighs. The strap attachment to the thighs is effected by a corresponding pair of adjustable elastic hoops that are limited in their elastic expansion by fabric strips attached to each of the hoops at loosely spaced intervals. When not in use the straps can be attached to the bicycle frame. | 08-09-2012 |
20130059702 | Stretch Strap - The present invention provides in some embodiments, a device for stretching muscles having a series of loops. The device can be formed from strips of elastic material periodically joined in order to form loops. More particularly, a top portion of elastic material can be laid on top of a bottom portion of elastic material. The top and bottom portions of materials can be joined in a variety of ways. A user of the device can engage different body parts with the loops and use the device to facilitate a dynamic stretch of a muscle. Dynamic stretching involves active contraction of the muscle prior to the stretch. | 03-07-2013 |
20130157820 | Total body exercise system and method - An exercise device and methods for performing physical exercise that improve strength, conditioning, and flexibility of an operator in a functional way using multiple body positions and exercising multiple muscle groups while keeping the spine in a safe and natural position, being simple to manufacture and use, and being compact and portable. The exercise device includes an elongated member, a hollow member, handles, a foot board system, and at least one resistance band. A resistance band is secured to the elongated member and the hollow member, and slidable movement of the hollow member and the elongated member relative to each other by the operator stretches a resistance band, which creates resistance to the movement, thereby exercising, strengthening, and conditioning the operator. The operator may use the exercise device in a number of configurations to perform a number of exercises in a number of body positions. | 06-20-2013 |
20130316882 | Total Workout Device - A modular exercise system is provided that includes a first gripping member having an elongate opening sufficiently large to permit a user to place at least two hands in the opening, the opening having a profile ergonomically configured to facilitate grasping of the first gripping member with a user's hands; a second gripping member comprising an elongate opening, the elongate opening configured to permit a user to exert force on the second gripping member with at least part of the user's body; and a force-resistant member having first and second ends each configured to be connected the first and second gripping members, respectively, wherein each of the first and second ends of the force-resistant member comprise a detachable connector that may be used to connect the force-resistant member to the first or second gripping members. | 11-28-2013 |
20140141947 | Resistance Device for Improving Swing And Stabilizing Leg Position - A resistance device for stabilizing a person's leg position relative to the ground includes an anchor configured for affixing to a stationary object, a first tether segment, a second tether segment, a first fastener configured for securing adjacent an upper portion of a person's leg, and a second fastener configured for securing adjacent a lower portion of the person's leg. The first tether segment extends between the anchor and the first fastener, and the second tether segment extends between the anchor and the second fastener. | 05-22-2014 |
20140329648 | Range of motion exercise therapy band - A range of motion therapy apparatus and kit according to the present invention includes an elongate body member having a flexible construction and generally tubular configuration defining an open space, the body member having an open proximal end and a closed distal end opposite the proximal end. The apparatus and kit includes a tubular receptacle having a closed bottom and a continuous side wall extending upwardly from the closed bottom that, together, define an interior area and an open top. The tubular receptacle includes a diameter smaller than a diameter of the body member such that the tubular receptacle is selectively received in the open space of the body member. A weighted straight bar, a generally C-shaped bar, and a tubular cushion may also be included. All components may be stored in the tubular receptacle. | 11-06-2014 |
