  • Publication number: 20250339729
    Abstract: An exercise device targeting anterior tibialis muscles which specifically targets anterior tibialis muscles includes weight engagement, sliding, and locking elements. The weight engagement element comprises a dorsum bar attached to and extending bidirectionally from a weight bar. The sliding element comprises a heel bar attached to and extending bidirectionally from an extension bar. The extension bar extends from the weight bar at a non-perpendicular angle relative to the weight bar. The sliding element is slidable along and releasably securable to the weight bar such that the dorsum bar and the heel bar can be fit to feet of a user. A weight is attachable to the weight bar. The locking element is slidable along and releasably securable to the weight bar to retain the weight on the weight bar.

  • Patent number: 12434091
    Abstract: A multifunctional exercise device enabling performance of a plurality of exercises includes a base, an upright support, a first rest, and a second rest. The base has upper and lower surfaces, front and rear ends, and opposed lateral edges, which extend between the front and rear ends. The upright support has lower and upper ends, with the lower end being attached to the upper surface proximate to the rear end and the upright support extending substantially vertically from the base. The first and second rests are removably couplable to the upper end of the upright support for performing pluralities of first and second exercises, respectively. The first and second rests are elongated and each has a longitudinal axis extending bilaterally and perpendicularly from the upright support in parallel with a vertical plane that bisects each of the opposed lateral edges. The second rest is rotatable about its longitudinal axis.

  • Patent number: 12383785
    Abstract: An exercise device targeting anterior tibialis muscles which specifically targets anterior tibialis muscles includes weight engagement, sliding, and locking elements. The weight engagement element comprises a dorsum bar, which is attached to and which extends bidirectionally from a first end of a weight bar. The sliding element comprises a heel bar, which is attached to and which extends bidirectionally from a first terminus of an extension bar. A second terminus of the extension bar is slidable along and releasably securable to the weight bar so that the dorsum bar and the heel bar can be fit to feet of a user. The weight bar is insertable through the central hole of one or more weights so that the one or more weights abut the extension bar. The locking element is slidable along and releasably securable to the weight bar to retain the one or more weights in position.

  • Patent number: 11944863
    Abstract: A dumbbell system a plurality of weights vertically stackable on top of each other and each of the weights has a pair of outer edges disposed oppositely from each other to define a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The weights each have a centrally displaced opening vertically extending therethrough and defining a receiving space. The receiving space of each weight is vertically aligned with the receiving space of each of the other weights. A handle is removably extendable into the receiving space. A coupler releasably engages a selected one of the weights to the handle and defines a coupled weight. The coupled weight and each of the weights positioned above the coupled weight is releasably secured to the handle. Each of the weights positioned below the coupled weight are disengaged from the handle.

  • Patent number: 11638846
    Abstract: An exercising assisting and support assembly includes a body having a bottom surface, a top surface, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a first end and a second end. The body is elongated from the first end to the second end and a cross-section of the body has a trapezoidal shape. The body has a length from the first end to the second end is between 24.0 inches and 48.0 inches and a height from the bottom surface to the top surface being at least 12.0 inches and less than 16.0 inches. The bottom surface has a width from the first lateral side to the second lateral side between 16.0 inches and 20.0 inches and the top surface has a width from the first lateral side to the second lateral side at least equal to 4.0 inches and no greater than 10.0 inches.

  • Patent number: 11383121
    Abstract: A pulley weight exercise method includes the placement of a plurality of weights from an adjustable dumbbell on a base. The weights each have a centrally positioned opening vertically extending therethrough to define a receiving space. A user determines a quantity of the weights to be used during an exercise to define a selected number. The selected number of the weights is engaged to a carriage. The carriage is attached to a first end of a cable positioned on a pulley suspended from an upper end of a vertical support. The vertical support is attached to and extends upwardly from the base. Pulling a second end of the cable pulls the carriage and the secured weights upwardly toward the upper end. To perform an exercise, a handgrip is attached to the second end of the cable.
