Patent number: 9387363Abstract: An exemplary exercise device includes a deck, a track, and a ball. Opposing ends of the deck include foot supports. The track bulges upwardly from the deck to form a dome that receives the ball. With the ball and deck on the floor, a user balances herself on the foot supports and may move along multiple axes as the ball rolls on the floor. The user may (for example) pivot and rock the exercise device (as she balances herself), rolling the ball along the track while alternately touching the ends of the deck to the floor, or the user may twist the exercise device clockwise and/or counterclockwise. The exercise device allows for enhanced strength and cardiac training, in addition to balance training, as the user engages in motions and repetitions that may include rolling the ball in the track and contacting different portions of the deck with the floor.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: NAUTILUS, INC.Inventor: Glenn Polinsky

Patent number: 9333385Abstract: An exercise device for various exercises includes a pair of bridges on opposing ends of a relatively inelastic, flat central webbing/band/belt, with an elastic member extending from each bridge. The elastic members themselves may serve as grips (for hands, feet, ankles, arms, wrists, etc.), or separate grips (such as those of a handle) may be used. The elastic members include a pair of bulbs on opposing ends of a body, and may be secured to the bridges and handle grips via cradles (in which the bulbs may be lodged) and/or channels (through which the bodies may be passed). A user may push or pull on grips with hands or feet to stretch the elastic members while exercising. The elastic members are preferably exchangeable to allow the user to change workout intensity by swapping in elastic members having different elasticities/lengths that provide different resistances.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: PIVOTAL 5, LLCInventors: Robert S. Hinds, Glenn Polinsky

Patent number: 8480549Abstract: An exercise bar is configured to removably receive elastic lines, allowing its use in elastic resistance exercises, and/or inelastic lines, allowing its use in suspended bodyweight exercises. Separate grips, each being engageable by a hand or a foot, are also provided, and may be removably connected to the bar or to each other via one or more lines. Bar supports may also be provided to support the bar above the ground, allowing easy use of the bar to perform push-ups and other exercises.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Inventors: Robert S. Hinds, Glenn Polinsky, Ray Rollins, John Stephenson, Brandon Grayson Hall, Doug J. Birkholz, Leslie A. Wagner

Patent number: 8475343Abstract: An exercise assembly includes an exercise handle with a grip base suitable for resting on a floor, and a grip elevated above the grip base. A user can situate the grip bases of a pair of the exercise handles on the floor, grasp their grips, and then perform push-ups. The grip bases can also be mounted to the top of a door or to other overhead structure, and the user can then grasp their grips to perform chin-ups. Preferably, this is done by providing a cradle which mounts to the door or other overhead structure, wherein the exercise handles may be firmly (but removably) nested into the cradles to mount them to the structure. The exercise handles may also bear passages or attachments for receiving elastic (or inelastic) cables for use in performing further exercises.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Inventors: Robert S. Hinds, Glenn Polinsky, Ray Rollins, John Stephenson, William Sotis

Patent number: 8387217Abstract: A strap attachment device includes a main body with a lower body end that has an opening suited for a strap. Based on its position, a cam lever at the opening of the lower body end holds or releases the strap, permitting adjustment of the length of the strap that enters the opening. Extending upward from the lower body end is an upper body end that is curved into a hook or any other shape appropriate for connection to an object. A flexible or translatable gate may extend from the main body so as to prevent the upper body end from inadvertently becoming detached from the object. Slip-resistance on the upper body end resists slippage between the upper body end and the object during side-to-side movements. Ends of the strap may include a loop or handle or connect to other devices.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2010Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Inventors: Robert S. Hinds, Glenn Polinsky, Ray Rollins, John Stephenson

Patent number: 8152703Abstract: An exemplary exercise device descending from an elevated support (e.g., a bar or door frame) allows a user to insert a body part in a loop (e.g., a foot for pull-ups or a waist for push-ups) descending from an elastic resistance unit, which uses a variable number of stretchable elastic members between top and bottom connectors to reduce the effective weight the user has to pull/push up. Each of the resistance unit top and bottom connectors has several elastic member sockets, each socket having a socket passage extending through the connector. Each elastic member has an elongated portion between two member plugs sized to resist passing through the elastic member socket passages. Elastic members can be removably and replaceably installed by inserting a portion of each member plug within an elastic member socket, one member plug in each of the resistance unit top and bottom connectors.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: April 10, 2012Inventors: Robert S. Hinds, Ray Rollins, Glenn Polinsky, John Stephenson

Patent number: 8075462Abstract: An exemplary exercise device includes a foot cuff and a hand grip separated by an elastic member. Rigid and flexible foot cuff sections define a foot passage for a foot. A foot cuff body passage in the rigid foot cuff section receives a foot cuff pivot having an enlarged portion and a plug. The plug is inserted in an elastic member socket, and is able to point in different directions as the enlarged portion pivots within the foot cuff body passage. The hand grip includes a hand grip channel for replaceably receiving the elastic member, which is removably secured to the hand grip using an impinger or by being wrapped about the hand grip and inserted in a groove. A user can insert a foot through the foot passage and grip the hand grip, stretching the elastic member between the foot and hand while walking, performing calisthenics, etc.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2011Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Inventors: Robert S.
