fourth embodiment

A Vacuum

[0586]FIG. 27 depicts a resistance generating assembly, vacuum canister assembly 600.

[0587]A vacuum oar 602 may be one that does not have a magnetically susceptible portion, as with oar 102 of the first embodiment, or one that does, as with oar 302 of the second embodiment. Oar 602 is removably attached to a vacuum sphere 604. Sphere 604 can range in construction from being a hollow shell of metal or some other strong material such as carbon fiber or glass impregnated plastic, to being solid plastic such as a bowling ball is.

[0588]During operation sphere 604 rests with a substantial portion of its surface in contact with a spherically contoured vacuum cup 608, which is permanently affixed to the concave side of a spherically contoured vacuum cup housing 610.

[0589]Vacuum cup 608 and vacuum cup housing 610 are permanently affixed and vacuum sealed to the inside of a vacuum canister 606. A vacuum line 612 is placed over a canister vacuum port 614 of FIG. 28 and provides user d...

fifth embodiment

A Vacuum and Electromagnetic Hybrid

[0599]FIG. 30 is of a hybrid canister assembly 700 for a hybrid vacuum and electromagnetic exercise device. Depicted also are an associated hybrid sphere 704 and a hybrid oar 702 affixed to hybrid sphere 704. Hybrid sphere 704 is of a magnetically susceptible material, as in the case of sphere 104 of the first embodiment. Hybrid oar 702 may be made of either a non-magnetically susceptible material, as with oar 102 of the first embodiment, or contain a magnetically susceptible material along a portion of its length, as does oar 302 of the second embodiment.

[0600]The hybrid sphere 704 is shown seated in hybrid spherical cup halves 708. The tops of the cup halves 708 are shown near to the top of a hybrid canister 706. A hybrid canister vacuum port 710 and a portion of an electromagnet power cord 712 are shown. An evacuation gap 720 is also denoted.

[0601]FIG. 31A is an exploded view of the hybrid canister assembly 700. Hybrid spherical electromagnet a...

Abstract

A unique full body exercise experience is provided by embodiments that produce user controlled resistance that can be assigned verbally, remotely by electronic means or manually. The embodiments can sense hand and foot location and then automatically change the resistance according to those locations, or by spoken word or programmed time. Exercise resistance can be offered in the three dimensions of space. Muscle groups can be exercised in complementary fashion with movements that fully stress the muscles. Two-movement exercises can be repeated endlessly or complicated ensembles in 3-space can be strung together, all with unlimited, user-defined changes of resistance. Every movement that is possible to perform with free weights or universal gyms is available to the user. Movements that are impossible with weights are easily performed with great safety. There has never been anything like this.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION—PRIOR ART[0001]It has always been that strength training brought advantages to physical competition, both in strength and stamina. It is known that exercising in complementary fashion, stressing opposing muscle groups in succession, yields great benefit.[0002]Within a person's home there may be various kinds of equipment to accomplish desired ends. Within a gymnasium there certainly are.[0003]To perform exercise there are heavy ropes that are waved, elastic bands and sets of springs with hand grips, free weights such as barbells and dumbbells and kettle bells. There are treadmills and bikes and exercise machines that utilize elliptical foot movement. Some store rotational kinetic energy in a flywheel and some have handles to be moved in planar fashion for upper body exercise. There are stair steppers, body weight incline machines, and also large systems that use multiple weights and pulleys or flexure elements such as springy bows, and more. All of these ...
