Abstract
A shoulder flexion apparatus tones and strengthens the shoulder muscles, including the anterior deltoid muscles. The apparatus may provide a resistance having a downward force vector. The resistance may be applied to a user via a cable guided by one or more pulleys to the user. In one or more embodiments, a guide assembly may be provided to quickly and easily reposition the cable and the force vector of the resistance that the cable provides. The guide assembly thus allows rapid switching between shoulder exercises to tone and strengthen the shoulder muscles. The apparatus may comprise one or more sections corresponding to the left and right side of the user's body. In this manner, the sections may independently provide resistance to each of the user's shoulders.
Claims14
A shoulder flexion apparatus comprising:
- a first frame and a second frame;
- at least one resistance device configured to provide resistance to a user along at least one force vector;
- a plurality of guide assemblies supported by the first frame and second frame and configured to guide the resistance to the user from a first position and a second position, wherein the plurality of guide assemblies are movable from the first position to the second position;
- and
- at least one joint between the first frame and the second frame, the joint configured to allow the first frame and second frame to move relative to one another, wherein moving the first frame and second frame repositions the plurality of guide assemblies.
A shoulder flexion apparatus comprising:
- a first guide assembly configured to present a first resistance to a user along at least one first force vector, wherein the first guide assembly is movable to change the at least one first force vector;
- a second guide assembly configured to present a second resistance to a user along at least one second force vector, wherein the second guide assembly is movable to change the at least one second force vector;
- one or more resistance devices configured to provide the first resistance and the second resistance;
- a first support comprising a lower portion and an upper portion, the first guide assembly attached to the lower portion of the first support;
- and
- a second support comprising a lower portion and an upper portion, the second guide assembly attached to the lower portion of the second support.
