Abstract
An exercise arm apparatus and method of use. The exercise arm comprises at least one finger, a spindle attached to the finger, and weights sized to reside on the spindle. One end of the exercise arm is rotatably attached at a pivot point to a frame or to a vertical surface; a belt is attached to an opposite end of the exercise arm by means of a belt line. Where the exercise arm is rotatably attached to a frame, dip bars and chin bars are disclosed wherein an exerciser may perform dips and chins. Upward motion by an exerciser wearing the belt is impeded by spindle weights, a belt elastic attached at one end to the belt and at an opposite end to the exercise arm, and/or an elastic member attached at one end to the frame and at an opposite end to the exercise arm.
Claims20
An exercise arm apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an arm;
- a pivot point;
- a distal end of the arm rotatably attached to the pivot point, wherein the arm is configured to rotate around the pivot point;
- and
- a resistance disposed between the distal end and a proximate end of the arm, wherein the resistance is configured to act against movement of the arm.
A method of use for an exercise arm apparatus, the method comprising:
- providing an arm having a distal end rotatably attached to a pivot point, wherein the arm is configured to rotate around the pivot point;
- and
- applying a resistance disposed between the distal end and a proximate end of the arm, wherein the resistance is configured to act against movement of the arm by an exerciser when performing exercises.
An exercise arm apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- an arm having a sloping portion that slopes relative to a horizontal surface;
- a pivot point;
- a distal end of the arm rotatably attached to the pivot point, wherein the arm is configured to rotate around the pivot point;
- a first aperture disposed on the arm and configured to admit a belt hook;
- a second aperture disposed on the sloping portion and adapted to admit the belt hook, wherein the second aperture is at a different height than the first aperture relative to the horizontal surface;
- and
- a resistance disposed between the distal end and a proximate end of the arm, wherein the resistance is configured to act against movement of the arm.
