  • Patent number: 9387353
    Abstract: A fitness and exercise device utilizes magnetic force to facilitate energy expenditure, muscle build up and weight loss upon the swinging of bending of the arms and/or legs and/or body. The device comprises an upper and a lower pad, sized to be disposed over the front side of the joint, with the upper pad overlying an upper part of the limb and with the lower pad overlying a lower part of the limb. Magnetic force is generated by magnetic energy sources of opposite polar orientation incorporated into an upper pad and a lower pad disposed above and below over the front side of a joint, with an upper pad overlying an upper part of the limb and with a lower pad overlying a lower part of the limb. When the joint is straight the magnetic energy sources are positioned sufficiently close so that they attract. When the arm is being bent the magnetic energy sources exert resistance due to their opposite polar orientation.

  • Publication number: 20090082182
    Abstract: A device for building muscle in the arms legs and abdomen area comprising of five strips of thin bendable material such as rubber, plastic, etc that will generate resistance when the wearer bends arms, legs or waste. Each strip have rings at the ends to facilitate the bending of the thin bendable material and will also permit a person to wear the bendable material. This invention is sewn into the lining of a jogging suit type apparel to allow the invention to be worn without visibility.
