  • Publication number: 20080076648
    Abstract: The weightless chair, seat pan and backrest is designed to address an area of the body which has almost become a nemesis in the health/fitness and exercise fields. This area often referred to as the core musculature is the site of the central mass of the human body. It is of particular importance because it too is the location of our pelvic, lumbar and abdominal anatomy. The weightless chair seat pan and backrest are so designed to give infinite range of the motion to the structures of this area. It creates a weightless and friction less movement system, which follows clearly delineated pathways. Said device has the capacity to introduce friction as needed and to integrate both linear pathways, such that intellectual collinear and angular movement patterns can be accomplished. Experts in the field of fitness and exercise are all too aware of the need for pelvic strength and pelvic mobility.

  • Publication number: 20080076650
    Abstract: A hand/arm fulcrum acting exercise device made of two semi-cylindrical components whose lengths and diameter differ, with the smaller sized semi-cylinder optionally permanently or removably affixed to the larger component, the smaller diameter half cylinder acting to position the internal cavity of the palm of a user's hands. The larger semi-cylinder or base structure acts as a support base for the hand aligning member and further acts as the support base for the load-bearing structures of the anatomy of a user's hand.

  • Publication number: 20070072749
    Abstract: A heel-cradle exercise device and footrest having a base structure, and internal cavity with the geometry to funnel all forces entering said cavity onto the base plate at the internal apex of the funnel shape cavity, a means of straps for fixing or holding one's foot in a flexed position, two brackets mounted on the external portion of the funnel shaped cavity cable of attaching an external anchoring mechanism and also to hold said straps in relative position, having on the bottom of said base structure feet, foot pads or the like, supports having a high friction coefficient to restrict motion of said base unit on the floor surface, having an internal cavity to receive a material to increase its density of the base unit, having an access point to act as an entry point to insert said material such as to the increase the weight of the base unit.
