    Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a pressing bar assembly interconnected to a lifting assembly. As the pressing bar assembly is pivoted, the lifting assembly also pivots and angularly raises a seat assembly on which a user is positioned. Resistance bands and the user's own weight provide resistance to movement of the pressing bar assembly. A user may perform a variety of exercises on the inventive apparatus according to the position of the body. A user may perform exercises from an initial sitting position, an initial side-lying position, an initial prone position, or an initial kneeling position.

  • Patent number: 6110079
    Abstract: A kick-boxing exercise device includes a weighted base unit which supports a target section. The target section having an appearance of a head, neck and torso of a human. The target section is vertically adjustable on the base unit and includes a plurality of target areas. A plurality of LEDs are mounted within the target areas which illuminate as the specific target areas are to be punched or kicked by a user. A foam pad is attached to the target section for cushioning the punch or kick of the user. An electronic control unit illuminates the LEDs in a preprogrammed punch or kick sequence. Various skill levels are provided to sequentially illuminate the LEDs at various speeds. The electronic control unit includes a scoring system which allows the user to evaluate his or her performance. A sensor detects contact with the target section and triggers illumination of the next LED in the sequence. A sensor adjustment dial allows the sensitivity of the sensor to be adjusted by the user.
