Abstract: A base member for an exercise device made up of a single member or flat plate. A single tubular member or an array of tubular members may be supported on a plate and fixed to it. The tubular member has slots in its sides extending from the top to the bottom. A cylindrical receptor having radially extending lugs may be inserted in the tubular member with the lugs slidably received in the slots. When the lugs pass the lower end of the tube, the receptor can be rotated bringing the lugs under the lower end of the tubular member thereby locking the receptor in the tubular member. A pin through the flange member into the channel can provide a permanent lock. The flange member provides space to hold material or a space for a seal. An exercise connector post device can be received in the receptor and fins on the inside periphery of the receptor engage fins holding the post against rotation. The receptor also has a series of vertical and horizontal slots which the post can engage or be fastened to.

Abstract: An aquatic exercise shoe having an upper made up of a vamp, a counter, a heel and an instep part. A foot receiving an opening is provided in the upper between the vamp and the counter. A heel strap is attached to the counter and has ends attached to the instep. Cross straps are provided each having a first end attached to the heel and extends across the opening and attached to the instep. The straps are self adjusting by opening and closing. Button holes are provided in the strap ends to receive buttons attached to the instep part to adjust the length of the strap. Holes are formed in the sole to drain water from the inside of the shoe.

Abstract: A support base for use with aquatic exercise devices and stabilizer which includes a body having apertures that receives and releasably secures a support for an exercise device to the base. The apertures in the base also receives and releasably secures stabilizing members which provides a way to support the exercising position of a person exercising with the device. Support base sections are also disclosed with a connecting structure to join the sections together to form a support base, and mounting structure to attach the base to the bottom of the pool, and to level the base.

Abstract: The stabilizer devices for aquatic deep water exercise and a device for aquatic exercise are disclosed. The stabilizers may be fixed to the side walls or bottom of a container of water to hold a person in an exercising position. The stabilizers may be portable or fixed permanently in position on a container of water. The stabilizers may be rigid or flexible, may be completely immersed in water. An air supply for under water breathing is provided.

Abstract: The aquatic exercise device may be used in a container of water. The exercise device has an opening covered by a slidable panel which may be moved from an open to a closed position to change the resistance of the device to movement in water. The device may be made of plastic plumbing fittings and plastic plumbing pipe.

Abstract: The stabilizer devices for aquatic exercising and a device for aquatic exercise are disclosed. The stabilizers may be fixed to the side walls or bottom of a container of water to hold a person in an exercising position. The stabilizers may be made of plastic plumbing pipe and fittings may be portable, supported on, or fixed permanently in position on a container of water. The stabilizers may be rigid or flexible, may be completely immersed in water.

Abstract: An exercise device comprising an enclosure containing water having a top surface and a bottom. A base member supported on the bottom. A seat for an exercising person is supported on the base. A float is supported in the water and adapted to be pulled through the water by a force on a cord attached to the float. The float may be air filled or filled with a lighter than water material. The float has an indicia on it to indicate the force from 1-400 pounds that the float is exerting and thereby, the force exerted on the cord by the person. A lever is attached to the handle and to the cord. The person can engage the handle attached to the cord with his hands, feet, chest or back, thereby exercising his body. The float is guided up and down by posts attached to the bottom. Multiple floats may be attached together to adjust the resistance force of the exercise device.

Abstract: A water exercise device made up of a closed loop track, a soaking pool and a channel providing a walking path therebetween. The water depth is generally uniform in depth to provide running and walking exercise but deeper areas may be provided to require swimming in a part of the track and total immersion in the soaking pool. A constant water flow rate is maintained in the track and a temperature gradient may be maintained between the track and the soaking pool to provide temperatures appropriate for different activity levels by a user.
