Abstract: A number of embodiments include an exercise apparatus. The exercise apparatus can transition between a lowered configuration and a raised configuration. Each configuration can be used to perform the same or different exercises, such as a Nordic curl, back extension, abdominal crunch, and many others. The exercises apparatus can be transitioned between a lowered configuration and a raised configuration by hingedly actuating a first portion of the apparatus relative to a second portion of the apparatus. Various supporting and/or locking structures (e.g., pegs, sheaths, pop-pins, etc.) can be used to secure the apparatus in a lowered configuration and/or a raised configuration.

Abstract: A removable handle operable to convert a commercially available glass to a mug. An exemplary handle includes a pair of spaced-apart rings in which to receive the glass. One or more of the rings may be incomplete, or interrupted in circumference, to provide accommodation to variance in size of a drink container (e.g., a glass, such as a Stainless Steel double-walled thermal cup). The rings fold with respect to the handle from a deployed configuration to a stored configuration having a reduced storage space requirement.
