Abstract
An exercise machine, including an elastic band and a tension fulcrum positioned so that the band extends around the tension fulcrum to provide resistance exercise to the user.
Claims20
An exercise device, comprising:
- an adjustable resistance system to provide resistance exercise including an elastic band extending partially around a tension fulcrum, the elastic band having a first end portion and a second end portion fixedly positionable relative to the first end portion, the tension fulcrum positioned so that as the first end portion is moved in a first direction, the movement thereof is resisted by the elastic band to provide resistance exercise.
An exercise device, comprising:
- an adjustable resistance system to provide resistance exercise including a base:
- an elastic band having a first end portion and a second end portion fixedly positionable relative to the first end portion;
- a pivot member pivotally connected to the base:
- an extension member movably connected to the pivot member;
- a tension fulcrum connected to the pivot member to adjust a pre-set tension of the elastic band, positioned so that the elastic band extends partially around the tension fulcrum such that as the first end portion is moved in a first direction the movement thereof is resisted by the elastic band to provide resistance exercise:
- and a selection member whereon the extension member may be selectively engaged to influence the position of the pivot member, thereby, influencing the position of the tension fulcrum and ultimately adjusting the pre-set tension of the elastic band.
