A training method and device for the lower body providing a mode of exercise that manifests as a functional, closed-kinetic-chain training of the gluteus maximus and the hamstrings in a natural sequential firing pattern. The device construction allows an upright stance so that during exercise the lower body mimics a stride action, as in walking. By combining this natural stride action with adjustable resistance elements in the device, a wide range of uses, from strength training to rehabilitation, are achieved. The device generally includes footplates that are movable in forward and backward directions and also can be simultaneously moved upward against resistance. The heel of the foot can simultaneously be raised with respect to the toe of the foot, also against resistance.

A hand held weight lifting device with a finger grip system attached to a resistance mechanism that is visually located in the middle of the handle and is designed to target the hands, wrist and forearms. The handles may be removed allowing a person to perform all dumbell related exercises. When using a collar, that safely and securely stabilizes the weights in a stationary form, the device can transform from solo or single status, to a dual, unilateral exercise experience. The device can be adjusted from 10″ to 20″ depending on the type of exercise required. The device, coupled with ankle straps and shin pads, provides a person the ability to perform lower body exercises targeting the hamstrings (rear thighs), quadriceps (thighs), lower abs (leg raises) and calfs. In regards to the upper body, the handles provide a comfort grip while performing exercises targeting all major muscles associated with the torso as well as biceps (arms) and trapezius (shoulders). This device is equipped with a resistance bar. When attached to both handles and the handles are squeezed together, it in turn targets the pectoral (chest) muscle.

A fitness system including a suit, a fixation system, and attachment locations on the fixation system. The attachment locations are located at the neck, shoulders, chest, waist, and knees. The fitness system also includes bands that are attached to the attachment points on the upper and lower torso.

An improved stretching apparatus includes a movable back rest and a movable foot manipulator which, when employed together, can provide therapeutic stretching to the leg muscles of a subject. For instance, the improved device can stretch the calves, hamstrings, and other leg muscles. An improved method of employing a stretching apparatus to perform a therapeutic stretching operation on the leg muscles of a subject includes engaging a subject's outstretched legs with a foot manipulator of the stretching apparatus, engaging the subject's back with a back rest of the stretching apparatus, and pivoting the foot manipulator in a stretching direction to move the feet in a dorsal direction to provide stretching of at least some of the leg muscles. The method can additionally include returning the foot manipulator to its original position, incrementally moving the back rest to take up some of the muscular looseness created by the movement of the foot manipulator in the stretching direction, and again pivoting the foot manipulator in a stretching direction to perform an additional stretching operation.

A lightweight, portable leg strengthening apparatus includes a footplate and calf support which form a leg rest, a top a friction free sliding element running longitudinally along and supported on a rectangular base. The leg rest is hinged at its attachment to the sliding element to allow a longitudinal tilting movement. The leg rest has adjustability at the hinge point at the ankle to enable alterations in the foot position. The leg rest has a removable heel support which provides the ability for either no pressure of full pressure to be exerted through the heel area of the user. The leg rest is able to be rotated 180° to allow for the user to either push the leg rest a top the guide member away from the user to allow the user to work their quadriceps, or may be pulled towards the user allowing the user to work their hamstring. The apparatus uses resistance material / rubber cords or springs attached via a plate to a steel cable, travelling via an aperture in the end of the device to the back of the sliding element a top the body of the device to create tension as the leg rest a top the sliding element is moved longitudinally along the body of the device. Resistance can be varied and progressed by using different numbers of resistance cords / springs. Organ stop devices are used to engage and disengage the resistance means so that the user has no need to have physical contact with said resistance means. A movable block on the rear of the device behind the sliding element prevents a patient flexing the knee and hip further than is appropriate for them. Fold away legs that are rotated out from under the device and locked into place make the device versatile for using whilst seated or folded away for use on a bed. A contact sensor at the front of the device enables visual display of number of repetitions achieved on a screen at the rear of the apparatus.

A device for exercising the gluteal muscles. The device is simple, small, portable, and lightweight, comprised of a half roll with a handle in each end. The user, facing down on top of the device at the level of the hip bones, must keep the legs high in a cantilever position which will exercise the gluteal muscles. To keep the legs in cantilever, the hamstrings muscles, lower back muscles, arm muscles, and core muscles are also exercised; the latter muscles are especially exercised if the upper body does not rest on a surface and is used for balance.

A system and method of knee-ACL support breeches for supporting the knees against non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, without interfering in desired movement, by resisting anterior translation of the proximal end of the tibia, thereby reducing stress on the ACL and other knee components. A pair of calibrated-elastic bands are attached at one end to a belt about the waist and at the other end to a strap around each lower knee. The calibrated-elastic bands are incorporated into a pair of breeches or pants which hold the bands tightly against the buttocks and backs of the thighs. In use, when the knee is flexed, the resulting bulging of the hamstrings and other muscles, tendons, and ligaments place an added strain on the relevant calibrated-elastic band, thereby tightening the band and dampening and resisting anterior movement of the attached lower-knee strap, in turn dampening and resisting anterior movement of the proximal end of the tibia, thereby reducing strain on the ACL and other knee components. The knee-ACL support breeches also promote the holding of the knee in a rotationally neutral position, and larger knee-flexion-angle positions during deceleration, both of which positions reduce strain placed on the ACL.
