Abstract: The present disclosure provides a rope-type conditioning/exercise apparatus that provides movements and resistance similar to prior devices requiring significantly longer ropes by providing ropes that are connected to sliders on sliding tubes, wherein the resistance to upward and downward movement of the sliders can be adjusted as desired by a user to create.
Abstract: The resistance band system of the disclosure includes one or more resistance bands, and a pair of handles which secure the ends of the one or more resistance bands. Each handle locks onto one of the ends of each resistance band. The handle is adapted to grip the resistance band with greater force when force is applied to the resistance band, such as when it is in use. The handle unlocks to release the ends of one or more of the resistance bands from the handles for changing of one or more of the resistance bands.
Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to facilitating angled barbell exercises. An embodiment of the present disclosure includes an apparatus for facilitating angled barbell exercises which includes a receiving surface having a substantially concave front side including a central region and a back side; and a support frame coupled to the back side of the receiving surface, the support frame including a floor support having a planar surface and a wall support having a planar surface; wherein the planar surface of the floor support is horizontal and positioned to contact a floor; and wherein the planar surface of the wall support is vertical and positioned to contact a wall that is perpendicular to the floor.
Abstract: A mixing cup for mixing liquid beverages including an agitator having a hollow chamber therein for receiving a thermal material such that when a beverage is mixed in the mixing cup the agitator imparts a thermal change to the beverage making the beverage either hotter or cooler depending on the temperature of the agitator.
Abstract: A massage apparatus includes at least one roller. The roller includes a tubular frame, raised rolling bands, and a plurality of massaging protuberances, wherein the height of the bands is at least the height of the protuberances. The bands and protuberances may be flexible and pliable, and made from rubber, silicone, neoprene or foam. A removable cap may be provided.
Abstract: The resistance band system of the disclosure includes one or more resistance bands, and a pair of handles which secure the ends of the one or more resistance bands. Each handle locks onto one of the ends of each resistance band. The handle is adapted to grip the resistance band with greater force when force is applied to the resistance band, such as when it is in use. The handle unlocks to release the ends of one or more of the resistance bands from the handles for changing of one or more of the resistance bands.
Abstract: A step apparatus is disclosed for individual training or group fitness classes. The step apparatus may simultaneously contain a plurality of step heights for a dynamic work out. The platform heights may be quickly adjusted to user preference. The adjustable settings may be self-contained within a single unit, or alternate pieces may be provided for additional variation. The step apparatus has a frame and a plurality of step platform units, with each platform unit having two height settings.

Abstract: A stability ball inflation and deflation system includes a stability ball with a bore, and a plug within the bore walls. An air-control module engaged within the axial channel of the plug selectively allows air to pass in one or both directions. The air-control module includes a one-way air valve, and a cap releasably sealable to the plug. An airway extending from the one-way valve provides fluid communication with the interior of the stability ball. An inflator adapted to engage the one-way air valve may be removably coupled to the air valve, and provide air passages to direct air from a pressurized air cartridge into the stability ball.
