A free-standing physical exercising device which can also be configured for use as a posture stool of the kind having a knee support on which the user can kneel while seated on the stool, comprising a ground supported frame on which are disposed a seat and knee support which together comprise the posture stool, the arrangement being such that the knee support can be used as a second user seat during exercise and the seat can be moved into a position for use as a back-rest, for use during such seated exercise, a user handle attached to the frame for generally vertical movement, and resistance device on the frame and operatively connected to the handle to resist movement thereof whereby the user can grasp and move the handle to exercise. Preferably, the exercising device comprises a foot rest on the frame substantially at ground level so that the user can stand on the foot rest and thereby stabilize the device with his body weight while grasping and moving the handle to exercise.
An exercising and training machine mainly for the abdominal part of the human body, and for building the abdominal muscles where reciprocating forward and back movement are performed against the power of an hydraulic piston.
An exercise device used to develop a user's torso and upper body muscles. The device has a tubular support frame with two upper side members connected by a lateral support and two space curved side supports. An adjustable pull down handle is centered on the frame's lateral support. Four resistance pneumatic cylinder with pistons, two on each side, connect the upper side members to a lower support structure. The curved supports extend downwardly from each of the upper side supports and have a head rest strap connector between them. A head rest with a back support extends from it is connected to a lateral strap member to a lateral strap in the lower support. A user lies down and grasps and pulls the overhead handle. By pulling down towards their chest on the handle against the resistance cylinder and their pistons, the user exercises torso and upper body muscles. The handle may be adjusted to such that its free end portion points horizontally either to the center, right side or left side of the spaced upper members.
An exercise device having a simple and inexpensive configuration including an exercise load unit connected to a movable knee hold unit, and a seat unit having a seat plate and a back plate which are selectively or completely movable during an exercise, irrespective of whether or not a leg support unit having foot holders is in a fixed state or in a movable state, thereby being capable of achieving a variety of exercises for the whole part of the human body using the upper body or lower body, or using both the upper and lower bodies.
An exercise bench for strengthening the muscles of the lower back, having a seat mounted to an inclined beam and a knee brace mounted to the beam at a position spaced downwardly from the seat, and a first restraining belt affixed proximate the seat, and a second restraining belt affixed proximate the knee brace.
A torsion exercising device which includes a support frame for supporting the exerciser and one end of a pivot arm assembly in pivotally adjustable relationship with a power frame mounted on the opposite end of the pivot arm assembly. The power frame includes a mount bar for rigidly securing the power frame to the pivot arm assembly, a torque tube rotatably and adjustably mounted in the power frame parallel to the mount bar and a torsion bar disposed in sliding relationship inside the torque tube, wherein the exerciser may adjust the rotational position and linear extension of the torsion bar inside the torque tube to create a desired position and resistance for pulling and pushing exercises.
