Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates generally to exercise devices for exercising the upper body of a user. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an exercise device in which a user can use resistance training to exercise different sets of upper body muscles by applying tensile forces to the exercise device. This type of training may allow the user to strengthen and tone his or her upper body without building bulky muscles by performing multiple exercises at once.
  • Traditional upper body workout equipment is either intended to increase the size or “bulkiness” of upper body muscles of the user or is difficult for the user to properly use to obtain the results that the user desires. For example, to obtain certain results, a user that trains using free weights must be familiar with proper weight-training techniques to target specific muscles or muscle areas and further be knowledgeable of the proper size of weights to use. Using improper techniques and equipment can result in injury or other unintended results, such as unintentionally increasing the size of certain muscles.
  • Another disadvantage of traditional upper body workout equipment is that it only enables a user to perform a single exercise at a time because the user’s hands are required to be engaged with the equipment.
  • One embodiment relates to an exercise device that includes a first set of one or more finger loops having a first palm portion coupled to a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface.
  • the first set of one or more finger loops are configured to be worn on a first hand of a user such that the first surface of the first palm portion interfaces with a palm of the first hand.
  • the exercise device also includes a second set of one or more finger loops coupled to a second palm portion having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface.
  • the second set of one or more finger loops are configured to be worn on a second hand of the user such that the first surface of the second palm portion interfaces with a palm of the second hand.
  • the exercise device also includes a first connector coupled to and located on the second surface of the first palm portion and a second connector coupled to and located on the second surface of the second palm portion.
  • the first connector and the second connector are secured to opposite ends of a tension member linking the first palm portion and the second palm portion.

  • the exercise device also includes a first connector coupled to and located on the second surface of the first palm portion and a second connector coupled to and located on the second surface of the second palm portion.

  • the location of the connectors 108 may allow the user to retain freedom to rotate and position his or her hands without the tension member 106 obstructing the movement.
  • the user may rotate or position his or her hands to engage different muscle groups during exercises. For example, if the user rotates either or both of his or her left hand and right hand during and exercise, the connectors 108 are able to rotate in the opposite direction of the hand movement. This may prevent the tension member 106 from wrapping itself around the hands of the user.

  • a user may desire to use the exercise device 100 to perform warmup exercises prior to beginning other exercises. Accordingly, the user may desire to use a tension member similar to the tension member 106 having a lower resistance rating (e.g., 51bs of resistance).
  • the clasp 128 of the tension member 106 and the loop 122 enable the user to decouple the first tension member 106 and replace it with a second tension member 106 having the same or a similar coupling mechanism for coupling to the loop 122 and a lower resistance, thus enabling the user to perform the desired exercises with lesser resistance.
  • Any number of additional tension members 106 having the same or different resistance as the tension member 106 can be interchanged with the tension member 106 by the user.

  • the user can perform any appropriate exercise with the exercise device 100 that utilizes resistance training techniques.
  • Exercise 900 can be performed by a user by lifting his or her arms above his or her head and pulling the tension member 106 taut. The user may then pull one arm down to the side while keeping the other arm in place. The tension member 106 imposes tensile forces between the hands of the user. This exercise may be repeated any number of times, and the function each arm performs may be switched to the other arm.
  • Exercise 1000 can be performed by a user by bending his or her arms at the elbow to a 90-degree angle. The user can keep one arm steady and pull down the other arm, keeping the arms bent at the 90-degree angle. The user may slowly pull until he or she starts to feel resistance in the tension member 106. This exercise may be repeated any number of times, and the function each arm performs may be switched to the other arm.
  • Exercise 1100 can be performed by a user by placing one foot behind the other foot and tilting forward with his or her back kept straight. The user can extend both arms straight ahead at shoulder-level. If the user places his or her left foot behind the right foot, the user may pull his or her left arm down towards his or her thigh, while the right arm stays completely still. The tension member 106 imposes tensile forces between the hands of the user. This exercise may be repeated any number of times, and the function each arm or leg performs may be switched to the other arm or leg.
  • Coupled means the joining of two members directly or indirectly to one another. Such joining may be stationary (e.g., permanent or fixed) or moveable (e.g., removable or releasable). Such joining may be achieved with the two members coupled directly to each other, with the two members coupled to each other using a separate intervening member and any additional intermediate members coupled with one another, or with the two members coupled to each other using an intervening member that is integrally formed as a single unitary body with one of the two members.
  • Coupled or variations thereof are modified by an additional term (e.g., directly coupled)
  • the generic definition of “coupled” provided above is modified by the plain language meaning of the additional term (e.g., “directly coupled” means the joining of two members without any separate intervening member), resulting in a narrower definition than the generic definition of “coupled” provided above.
  • Such coupling may be mechanical, electrical, or fluidic.
  • the term “or,” as used herein, is used in its inclusive sense (and not in its exclusive sense) so that when used to connect a list of elements, the term “or” means one, some, or all of the elements in the list.
