Example

[0039]In the figures, consistent reference numerals are used for similar, identical or functionally identical components of a fitness apparatus 1 according to the invention.

[0040]FIG. 1 shows a person 27 with the fitness apparatus 1 during a training exercise. The fitness apparatus 1 is portable and fastened to the body of the person 27. The fitness apparatus 1 has a body fastening means 3, which is here in the form of a hip belt. The hip belt 3 is fastened at the height of the hip of the person 27. The fitness apparatus 1 comprises a resistance apparatus 7, which is connected to the body fastening means 3. The resistance apparatus 7 has a housing with a winding device therein. The winding device serves to wind up and unwind a flexible element 17. The person 27 holds a distal end of the flexible element 17 tightly in the hand. The flexible element 17 has a proximal end connected to the winding device of the resistance apparatus 7. The fitness apparatus 1 further comprises an ankle s...

Abstract

Portable mobile fitness apparatus for the performance of a training exercise by a person. The fitness apparatus has a disc-shaped resistance apparatus having a winding device inside a housing. With the winding device, a line can be wound onto a winding element. The winding device is coupled by means of a one-way bearing to a resistance unit, wherein the resistance unit serves to generate a training resistance. As a result of the one-way bearing, the winding element has a freewheel in a first rotational direction and the winding element meets a resistance in an opposite, second rotational direction corresponding to the unwinding of the winding element.

Description

Field of the Invention[0001]The present invention relates to a fitness apparatus, in particular to a fitness apparatus which can be worn by a person on the body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A portable fitness apparatus of this type is known from WO97 / 34662. The fitness apparatus has a hip belt, which is provided with two resistance apparatuses. Each resistance apparatus is provided with a cord having a handle. A training exercise can be performed by pulling on the cord, whereupon the resistance apparatus generates a training resistance. In the case of the known fitness apparatus, it is intended to deliver a constant resistance during the performance of a training exercise.[0003]The training resistance which is created by the resistance apparatus is delivered by a coiled leaf spring inside the housing of the resistance apparatus. By pulling on the flexible element, the leaf spring is made to uncoil and thereupon generate a training resistance. If so desired, it is possible to inc...
