Abstract: An exercise machine which has a seat and a backrest which are mounted for independent pivotal movement about an axis to respective chosen inclinations, structure which is fixed to, and which is movable together with, the seat, and resistance bands which are located on the structure.

Abstract: An exercise machine which includes support structure which is pivotally movable about a main axis and first and second substantially co-planar footpads which are mounted to the support structure and which are movable relatively to the support structure.

Abstract: A kit for building a structure which includes a plurality of panels (28, 30), each panel having at least one respective peripheral formation (34) and a plurality of fasteners (10); each fastener having at least two clip formations (12, 14), and wherein the clip formations of a fastener are respectively engageable with the peripheral formations of two of the panels which are positioned adjacent each other, to secure the panels together.

Abstract: An exercise aid which includes an inflatable body which has an outer surface, and at least one inflatable component on at least part of the outer surface.

Abstract: An exercise device which includes a structure with a lower outwardly extending ground-engaging surface, an upper surface which includes a seat formation for a user positioned so that a user, seated on the seat formation, can place his feet on the ground, and an upwardly extending back-supporting surface.

Abstract: An optical apparatus for training a golfer which is the form of a pair of spectacles with tinted lenses, one of which is inclined so that an image projected onto an inner surface of the lens is reflected onto an eye of a user. The image comprises data which aids the golfer in a training stroke. To reduce ghost images, to allow for binocular vision and to superimpose the projected image on a background view, the lenses have an absorption of from 60% to 85%.

Abstract: A resistance assembly for use in an exercise machine which includes a cylinder and a piston with a hollow piston rod which is slidably engaged with the cylinder. The interiors of the cylinder and the piston rod are pressurised using a compressor to provide a controllable resistance force against which a user can exercise.

Abstract: An exercise machine which includes an elongate frame which forms an enclosure, a resistance assembly located at least partly in the enclosure, a support member for supporting the frame at an inclined position with an upwardly facing front side and a downwardly facing rear side, a seat extending from the front side of the frame at a location at which part of the frame opposes a back of a user seated on the seat, and at least a first actuator which is movable by the user against a first resistance force which is generated by the resistance assembly.

Abstract: An exercise device which includes a structure with a lower outwardly extending ground-engaging surface, an upper surface which includes a seat formation for a user positioned so that a user, seated on the seat formation, can place his feet on the ground, and an upwardly extending back-supporting surface.

Abstract: An exercise machine which includes a base upon which a user stands alongside an upwardly extending support. A handle, mounted to a lever rotatably fixed to the support, extends over the base so that the user can grip the handle with both hands and rotate the handle along a circular loop, alternately bending at the knees and then moving to an upright position, with arms extended, against a variable resistance force which is generated by a flywheel connected via a drive mechanism to the lever.

Abstract: The exercising machine includes a free-standing support structure that has first and second pivotally interconnected legs. Each leg has an upper and a lower leg with a foot at the lower end of each leg. In the operative state of the machine, the form an free-standing, inverted y-shape with the feet on the ground. For compact storage, the second leg can be pivoted alongside the first leg. In addition there is a seat which is pivotally connected relative to the first leg so as to move between an operative condition in which it projects laterally from the first leg and an inoperative condition in which the seat lies alongside the first leg, once again for storage purposes. There is a backrest on the first leg above the seat. A cross-bar spans across the upper end of the first leg at a horizontal attitude and elastic resistance elements are supported by ends of the cross-bar on either side of the first leg.

Abstract: An exercise device comprises an elongate strut on which a pair of limb engaging members are located. At least one of the limb engaging members is slidable along the length of the strut towards and away from the other member. A resistive force means such as one or more elastomeric bands links the movable limb engaging member to a reaction point on the strut or the other limb engaging member. The arrangement is such that movement of the movable limb engaging member along the strut in at least one direction requires work to be done against the action of the resistive force means. Preferably both limb engaging members are movable along the length of the strut towards and away from each other. The strut may be formed in more than one section with the different ends of the sections engageable with each other to provide for different modes of operation of the device.
