Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to an adjustable-incline climbing wall. The climbing wall includes one or more climbing panels supported by a frame and a system for adjusting the incline of the frame to provide a climbing wall of a desired incline. The incline of the climbing wall may be adjusted by activating an actuator, which extends the frame a distance from a support wall, tilting the climbing wall to a desired incline. Further, by providing a plurality of attachment points between the actuator and the frame (and/or between the actuator and a support), the adjustable-incline climbing wall may be provided with a wider range of incline angles, as well as increased control over those angles.

Abstract: An adjustable weight kettlebell includes a body defining an internal cavity configured to receive one or more of a plurality of weights, and a weight selector assembly configured to selectively couple one or more of the plurality of weights to the body. The weight selector assembly may include an actuator to enable a user to select one of a plurality of available weight settings. The weight selector assembly may be locked for adjustment when the kettlebell is removed from a support surface such as a base, thereby inhibiting inadvertent detachment of the weights from the kettlebell during exercise. The weight selector assembly may automatically shift to the closest weight settings upon release of the actuator and may automatically unlock upon placement of the kettlebell on the support surface such as the base, the bottom weight if not coupled to the kettlebell, or any other suitable support surface.

One example is a postural platform for either the left or right foot having a bottom surface defining a reference plane, a top surface configured as a foot contact surface and a perimeter side wall between the bottom and top surfaces. The top surface is rotated about a first rotational axis parallel to the reference plane and rotated about a second rotational axis orthogonal to the reference plane. In another example, a system includes first and second postural platforms that are independent of one another. In other examples, the device is a sandal, shoe, sneaker or any foot covering with a tops surface being at a complex angle to a bottom surface.

Abstract: Improved designs for exercise machines that facilitate muscle development and other therapeutics are disclosed. The machine includes a frame, a pulley assembly, and cable extending through the pulley assembly. The cable has attachments, including an attachment for connecting to a pull handle. The cable is also connected to a selectively variable moveable resistance unit. This unit is structured to provide an elastic resistance when a pulling force is applied to the pull handle. The unit is connected to the cable and includes an elastomeric body that provides the elastic resistance and also includes an arc plate that provides a curved support member on which a portion of the elastomeric body at least partially wraps around. Movement of the arc plate causes the elastomeric body to stretch and to provide the elastic resistance.

In some embodiments, the polygonal shape may be symmetrical or may include longer and shorter sides in an alternating arrangement. At least a portion of the bottom of the step can be formed from an anti-slip material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fitness equipment system for providing a substantially constant force through a range of motion and includes at least one constant force resistance component. The object of the present invention is to build a lightweight, easily movable and transportable fitness equipment system. The present invention uses the constant force released from the resistance components instead of the gravitational force from weights used in traditional fitness systems. Finally, the present invention can be used by personal trainers, physical therapist, field personnel, with no access to traditional facilities or weightlifting equipment or facilities.

Abstract: An exercise system for exercising a body's oblique muscle group relies upon a wheel mechanism having an outer wheel portion arranged at a first radial distance and an inner wheel portion arranged at a second radial distance, where the outer and inner wheel parts include respective sets of handgrips. A weight system is arranged to be coupled to and decoupled from the wheel mechanism. A coupling mechanism couples the weight system to and decouples the weight system from the wheel mechanism, in a first circumferential direction, or in a second circumferential direction. The hand grips allow a user to grasp the wheel mechanism and turn it in the first or the second circumferential directions against a respective force that the wheel mechanism is turned against that is defined by the aggregate selected weight when coupled to the wheel mechanism, in one of the first and second circumferential directions.
