Abstract: An exercise machine includes a frame, a movable element that is movable in the performance of an exercise where the movable element has at least one selectively adjustable operating parameter that selectively alters a difficulty of the exercise, and a recall mechanism connected to the frame. The exercise machine also includes a processor and memory where the memory has programmed instructions executable by the processor to apply a first difficulty setting of the selectively adjustable operating parameter to the movable element and reapply the first difficulty setting to the movable element based on activation of the recall mechanism.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a frame, a seat selectively movable with respect to the frame, and a resistance mechanism connected to the frame. The seat is adjustably positioned between an upright position that orients a user in an upright orientation with respect to a pedal assembly when the exercise machine is in an upright exercise mode and a recumbent position that orients the user in a recumbent orientation with respect to the pedal assembly when the exercise machine is in a recumbent cycling exercise mode.

Abstract: A manually operated treadmill a deck and a tread belt encircling the deck to provide a movable, continuous running surface during operation of the treadmill. Further, the treadmill includes a transmission connecting a flywheel to the tread belt and a resistance unit disposed to adjustably apply a resistance force to the inertial motion of the flywheel.

Abstract: A cable exercise machine includes a first pull cable and a second pull cable incorporated into a frame. Each of the first pull cable and the second pull cable are linked to at least one resistance mechanism. The at least one resistance mechanism includes a flywheel and a magnetic unit arranged to resist movement of the flywheel.

Abstract: A system for dispensing a nutrient includes a dispensing device having a container, an orifice defined in the container, and a receiver that receives communications from an activity collecting device. The container dispenses the nutrient contained therein through the orifice in response to a communication from the activity collecting device.

Abstract: A cable exercise machine includes a first pull cable and a second pull cable incorporated into a frame. Each of the first pull cable and the second pull cable are linked to at least one resistance mechanism. The at least one resistance mechanism includes a flywheel and a magnetic unit arranged to resist movement of the flywheel.

Abstract: A dumbbell assembly includes a selection mechanism including a selector arranged to adjust a connection of the weight connected to an adjustable dumbbell and a processor and memory where the memory includes a programmed code executable by the processor to receive a message from a remote device.

Abstract: An exercise machine includes a weight attachment connected to a track where the weight attachment is shaped to attach to a support structure of an independent adjustable dumbbell and to carry the support structure as the weight attachment travels along the track. A cradle of the exercise machine has a trough sized to receive the independent adjustable dumbbell, and an input mechanism in communication with a selection mechanism incorporated into the exercise machine. The selection mechanism includes a selector arranged to adjust a connection of a weight set associated with the independent adjustable dumbbell, and a subset of the weight set is carried by the support structure as the weight attachment moves along the track based at least in part on an input into the input mechanism.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to exercise systems, and more particularly to adjustable exercise cycles. In accordance with at least some aspects, a stationary exercise cycle includes an incline mechanism that adjusts an incline of an upright support structure. The incline mechanism is aligned with a portion of an upright support structure on which a handle bar assembly is mounted. In some cases, the exercise cycle includes a console that can be rotated for viewing when not riding on the exercise cycle. The exercise cycle can also include an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of a seat or the handle bar assembly. The adjustment mechanism can include a cam-based locking mechanism for selectively securing the seat or handle bar assembly in place.

Abstract: A treadmill includes an exercise deck.
