Abstract: An exercise device includes a bar that includes a tube defining a cavity, a loading mechanism disposed within the cavity, and a weight configured to slide against the loading mechanism when the weight is selectively received within the cavity. The loading mechanism is configured to remain stationary in the cavity and to provide a friction force to the weight to slow the loading of the weight into the cavity when the weight is received in the cavity.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a first exercise bar. The first exercise bar includes a first tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a cavity, a first weight configured to be selectively received within the first cavity, and a first slow loading mechanism coupled to the first tube proximate the second end and configured to contact the first weight when the first weight is received by the first cavity to provide a friction force to the first weight to slow the loading of the first weight into the first cavity.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a strap. The strap includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The strap is configured to be secured to a lower leg of a user such that the first surface of the strap interfaces with the lower leg of the user. The exercise device further includes a ball including an outer surface configured to be held by the user, a first connector extending from the ball, a second connector extending from the second surface of the strap, and a tension member. The tension member includes a first coupling mechanism and a second coupling mechanism at opposite ends thereof and configured to be releasably coupled to the first connector and the second connector via the first and second coupling mechanisms.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a first set of one or more finger loops coupled to a first palm portion having a first surface and a second surface, and configured to be worn on a first hand of a user. The exercise device also includes a second set of one or more finger loops coupled to a second palm portion having a first surface and a second surface and configured to be worn on a second hand of the user. The exercise device also includes a first connecter coupled to and located on the second surface of the first palm portion and a second connecter coupled to and located on the second surface of the second palm portion. The first connector and the second connector are secured to opposite ends of a tension member linking the first palm portion and the second palm portion.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a resilient compression member configured to resist a compressive force from a user, and a resilient tension member configured to couple to opposing sides of the compression member. The resilient tension member is also configured to form a first portion of a loop around the compression member and the user, and resist a tensile force from the user. The exercise device also includes an extension member configured to connect with opposing ends of the tension member to form a second portion of the loop around the compression member and the user.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a first exercise bar. The first exercise bar includes a first tube extending from a first end to a second end and defining a cavity, a first weight configured to be selectively received within the first cavity, and a first slow loading mechanism coupled to the first tube proximate the second end and configured to contact the first weight when the first weight is received by the first cavity to provide a friction force to the first weight to slow the loading of the first weight into the first cavity.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a resilient compression member configured to be placed between inner thighs of a user and resist a compressive force from the user, and a resilient tension member comprising a grip component configured to hold the resilient tension member in place on outer thighs of the user. The resilient tension member is configured to couple to opposing sides of the compression member, form a first portion of a loop around the compression member and the outer thighs of the user, and resist a tensile force from the user. The exercise device further includes an extension member configured to connect with opposing ends of the tension member to form a second portion of the loop.

The exercise device also includes an extension member configured to connect with opposing ends of the tension member to form a second portion of the loop around the compression member and outer thighs of the user.

Abstract: An exercise device includes a first glove, a second glove, a first connector, a second connector, and a tension member. The first glove has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and can be worn on a first hand of a user such that the first surface interfaces with a palm of the first hand. The second glove has a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and is can be worn on a second hand of the user such that the first surface interfaces with a palm of the second hand. The first connecter is coupled with the second surface of the first glove and the second connecter is coupled with the second surface of the second glove. The first connector and the second connector secure opposite ends of a tension member linking the first glove and the second glove.
