Abstract: A treadmill includes a treadmill frame, an endless belt, and a restricting device. The restricting device has a first strap member and a second strap member located above the endless belt. Each of the first strap member and the second strap member has a first end and a second end. The first end of the first strap member is connected to a right side of the treadmill frame, and the first end of the second strap member is connected to a left side of the treadmill frame. The second end of the first strap member is operable to be removably connected to the second end of the second strap member. The restricting device is configured to constrain a position of a user on the endless belt when the second end of the first strap member is connected to the second end of the second strap member.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus comprises a platform having a front roller, a rear roller and an endless belt mounted around the front roller and the rear roller for allowing a user to perform a first exercise type of a relatively lower resistance or a second exercise type of a relatively higher resistance. A front frame is mounted at a front side of the platform and has at least one holding portion adapted to be grasped by the user. One or more control interfaces controls the first exercise type and the second exercise type.

A front frame is mounted at a front side of the platform and has at least one holding portion adapted to be grasped by the user. A first control interface controls the first exercise type. The first exercise type is selected from a group consisting of walking, jogging, and running. A second control interface that controls the second exercise type. The second exercise type includes the user pushing the endless belt backwards against resistance while grasping the holding portion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a treadmill. The treadmill includes a treadmill frame, an endless belt, a strap member and a retracting device. The strap member is located above the endless belt. The strap member has a first end, a second end, and a middle section. The first end of the strap member is operably connected to a right side of the treadmill frame, and the second end of the strap member is removably connected to a left side of the treadmill frame. The retracting device is configured to retract the strap member into the retracting device when the second end of the strap member is disconnected from the treadmill frame. When the second end of the strap member is connected to the left side of the treadmill, the middle section of the strap member constrains a position of a user on a top surface of the endless belt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus. The exercise apparatus includes a platform which has an endless belt revolved around it. The endless belt defines an exercising space. A left strap extends from a left front portion to a left rear portion of the exercising space, and a right strap extends from a right front portion to a right rear portion of the exercising space. The left strap and the right strap respectively have a first connecting part and a second connecting part which could be connected or detached with each other. When the two connecting parts are connected with each other, the left strap and the right strap form a retaining portion for resisting forward movement of a user. When the two connecting parts are detached, the left strap and the right strap could be positioned on a left side and a right side of the exercising space.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a resistance system which has a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft and a transmission mechanism mounted between the two rotating shafts, such that the two rotating shafts are rotated with respect to each other at a predetermined transmission ratio. Besides, a first resistance device is controlled to apply a first resistance against rotation of the first rotating shaft, and a second resistance device is controlled to apply a second resistance against rotation of the second rotating shaft. The first resistance device and the second resistance device can be controlled independently. When a user uses the exercise apparatus to perform exercise, a moving member is driven by movement of the user. When the moving member is moved, the two rotating shafts are driven to rotate simultaneously, namely the user has to overcome the rotational resistance of the two rotating shaft during exercise.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a platform having a front roller, a rear roller and an endless belt mounted around the front roller and the rear roller for allowing a user to perform walking, jogging or running exercises on the belt. A flywheel is coupled to one of the two rollers. A friction resistance device is coupled to the flywheel for being manually controlled by the user to adjust rotational resistance of the flywheel, and a magnetic resistance device is coupled to the flywheel as well for being manually controlled by the user to adjust the rotational resistance of the flywheel. A front frame is mounted at a front side of the platform and has at least one holding portion for being held by the user.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an exercise apparatus. The exercise apparatus includes a platform with an endless belt. The endless belt defines an exercising space above it. A restricting device has a retaining portion, a left restricting portion and a right restricting portion. The two restricting portions are elongated and flexible, such as straps. The left restricting portion is connected to a left end of the retaining portion from a left rear of the exercising space. The right restricting portion is connected to a right end of the retaining portion from a right rear of the exercising space. The restricting device maintains the retaining portion at an appropriate position to make the retaining portion naturally abut against a waist of the user for resisting forward movement of the user toward a front side of the exercising space and allowing the user to sprint or quick run on the platform.
