  • Publication number: 20210197010
    Abstract: An exercise machine has a main frame and a user support movably mounted relative to the main frame for movement between a start position and an end position during an exercise. At least one user engagement device is movably mounted relative to the main frame for engagement and actuation by a user during an exercise, and a connecting linkage translates movement of the user engagement device to movement of the user support. A lifting arm is movably mounted relative to the main frame and associated with at least one of the user support, user engagement device, and connecting linkage so as to move during an exercise. A load associated with the lifting arm provides exercise resistance.

  • Publication number: 20210197014
    Abstract: An exercise assembly structured to perform different rowing routines characterized different rowing motions. A resistance device is movable within a chamber and is cooperatively structured therewith to resist such movement. A drive assembly includes two drive sections each independently connected in driving relation to said resistance device. A connector structure includes two connector members each attached to a handle and connected in driving relation to a different one of said drive sections. The handle is selectively movable through the plurality of different rowing motions, at least one of which results in the two drive sections concurrently driving the resistance member and being concurrently driven by the two connector members. At least one other rowing motion of the handle is defined by each drive section alternately driving the resistance member and being alternately driven by interconnected ones of said connector members.

  • Publication number: 20210197015
    Abstract: A stationary bike capable of leaning of tilting side to side during use is described. The stationary bike has a fixed frame portion and moving frame portion which is pivotally mounted on the fixed frame portion, at two spaced apart pivot locations, to allow the moving frame to pivot about a pivot axis defined by the two spaced apart pivot locations. The pivotal action of the bike may be resisted, such as by a damper. The tilt-enabled bike is equipped with a tilt disabling mechanism, e.g., a locking mechanism configured to selectively and operatively engage the moving and the fixed frame to disable the relative movement (i.e. the pivoting) of the moving frame.

    Abstract: [Problem to be Solved] Provided is an exercise apparatus which can suppress positional displacement when a user is jiggling. [Solution] The exercise apparatus 1 includes: a main body part 5 which has a placement part (smooth surface 5a), on which both legs of a user are placed, and an arc part 5b (curved surface) and rotationally moves over a predetermined range by alternate movement of the legs of the user placed on the placement part; and restraining means which restrains movement of the main body part 5 within a horizontal plane. The restraining means has a groove part 5c which is formed by removing a portion of the arc part 5b of the main body part 5 and a columnar body 3 which is fitted into the groove part 5c.
