| 20120010051 | EXERCISE SLIDE BOARD - An exercise slide board is disclosed having a main board, a pair of backstops and a floor grip device. The main board has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is smooth and low friction to allow a user wearing low-friction footwear to easily slide across the board. The first and second backstops are positioned at or near a first end of the main board and a second end of the main board, respectively. The first and second backstops may have a base surface configured to abut against the top surface of the main board. The first and second backstops may also have a strike surface facing toward a center of the main board and extending away from the top surface of the main board at an angle away from the center of the board. The floor grip device is affixed on the bottom surface of the main board. The floor grip device is configured to grip both a hard flooring surface and a carpeted flooring surface. A non-slip mesh may be used. The floor grip device may grip the flooring surface so as to create a frictional force to secure the main board relative to the flooring surface in response to and against lateral forces applied in a direction planar to the flooring surface and transverse to and against the strike surfaces of the backstops. | 01-12-2012 |

| 20100093496 | ROTATING EXERCISE DEVICE - A rotating exercise device is provided. In various embodiments, the rotating exercise device includes a stationary pedestal and a gearbox rotatably mounted to the pedestal such that the gearbox is rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the pedestal. The rotating exercise device additionally includes a user seat mounted to a top of the gearbox and a user operable drive mechanism that is operably connected to the gear box. The user operable drive mechanism is structured and operable to, via control and operation of a user sitting on the seat, impart rotational force on the stationary pedestal to cause the gear box, seat and user to rotate about the longitudinal axis of the pedestal as the user operates the user operable drive mechanism. | 04-15-2010 |
| 20090131227 | Exercise Apparatus with Coupled Motion Mechanism - Exercise apparatus is provided with a coupled mechanism providing coupled natural biomechanical three dimensional human motion. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20080300113 | STATIONARY PEDAL EXERCISER WITH HANDLE - A pedal exerciser for therapeutic and/or aerobic exercise including a handle attached to the exerciser frame wherein the handle is engaged by a user to secure the exerciser in place during use, to lift or more the exerciser, or to otherwise engage the upper body of the user. The handle may be adjustable in both the lateral and vertical directions with respect to a support surface upon which the exerciser rests. The handle may also pivot to provide therapeutic or aerobic upper body benefits while a user pedals the exerciser by foot. Accessories, such as pedometers, timers, or the like, may be attached to the handle so as to be accessible to the user during use of the exerciser. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20110045954 | MULTI-SPORT ATHLETIC TRAINING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An athletic training apparatus to assist a coach training muscle coordination of a player. An adjustable, delayed resistance, burst release, extension coil operatively couples to a first cable harness and a second cable harness. The first cable harness detachably couples to a coach and feedbacks real-time physical movements of the coach to the player. The second cable harness detachably couples to a training muscle group of the player. The training muscle group receives feedback from the real-time physical movements of the coach including a first resistance level during one portion of the exercise routine and a second resistance level during a second portion of an exercise routine. During an exercise routine, movements of the player are substantially unaffected and unstrained by the athletic training apparatus. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20120129659 | INCLINED SAND TRAINING APPARATUS - The inclined sand training apparatus includes a front, inclined surface that is sand-filled and lined with sand-filled steps. A walkway traverses across a ridge formed between the front, inclined surface and a rear, inclined surface that is covered in grass. The training apparatus is designed to resemble a sand dune and provide training and workout experiences that includes sand-filled steps, walkway, and a rear, inclined surface covered in grass. The sand-filled steps consist of a concrete riser capped off with a rubber edge that are both back-filled with sand. Lights and other accessories provide a gym-like environment to aid in the training and workout, and further comprise a pool, cycle hut, showers, seating, bathrooms, first aid, and storage. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20100234186 | Skate fitness car - A skate fitness car includes left and right support rods having a front end pivotally coupled to a vertical pipe and freely swayed sideway, a rear end pivotally coupled to a rear driving wheel module for automatic position restorations, and a link rod pivotally coupled between the left and right support rods. If a user releases the link rod and applies forces by both legs to bring together and separate the left and right support rods, the left and right rear driving wheels can be rolled forward in an S-shaped path. A front compacting wheel below the vertical pipe is provided for driving a car body to move forward. If the user locks the link rod, the user can apply forces to the left and right support rods by both legs or twist the body to roll the left and right rear driving wheels forward in an S-shaped path and drive the front compacting wheel to slide the car body, so as to achieve the multiple operating modes and give more funs to the fitness exercise. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20110275484 | EXERCISE DEVICE WITH A LINEAR DRIVE MECHANISM - An exercise device ( | 11-10-2011 |
| 20100173752 | METHOD FOR CONDUCTING A TARGETED TRAINING AND A CORRESPONDING TRAINING DEVICE - A training device to target train a body of a person includes a support, a device foot part having action elements for legs of the person, a device arm part having action elements for arms of the training person, and a connecting joint, mounted on the support, to couple the device foot part with the device arm part. The connecting joint allows the device foot part and the device arm part to displace relative to each other about a common longitudinal axis that runs through the connecting joint, device arm part and device foot part which causes a relative turning movement in a region of a vertebral column axis of the person, when lying on the device, between the pelvic girdle and the shoulder girdle of the person. | 07-08-2010 |
