Abstract of the Disclosure Exercise apparatus for exercising the upper body simultaneously with lower body exercise, comprising a lower body exercise machine and at least one upper body exercise module positioned for use in conjunction with the lower body exercise machine. The upper body exercise module comprises an elongated connector having first and second ends; a user engagement connected to the elongated connector first end for engaging or being engaged by a body appendage of a user; and a resistance mechanism for resisting a force applied to the first end of the elongated connector. Each upper body exercise module is adapted to provide resistance to a full, natural arm swing of at least one arm of the user. Various types of lower body exercise machines, resistance devices, user engagements, relationships between the upper body exercise module and the lower body exercise machine, and exercise methods using the apparatus are disclosed.

This invention discloses circularly knit undergarments, said under garments having an anterior tummy region, a posterior stretching from the waist to the gluteal region, and two outer-regions corresponding to the outer thigh region, each of said regions includes knit-in support panels to minimize appearance of undesirable bulges. The posterior region further includes a plurality of derriere cups to slim and shape the lower half of the body to a younger tone and to provide a natural appearance to the derriere, hips and tummy. In a preferred embodiment the body of the undergarment is made with material that is seamlessly woven, for example, light weight micro fiber nylon or LYCRA spandex, and includes a gusset that is made of cotton and micro fiber nylon to prevent moisture build up between the legs. The under garments are finished in ribbing located at their terminal ends. In addition to providing an overall slimming and reshaping of the lower body part, the unique knitting technique and the derriere cups in the posterior of the under garment provide the wearer comfort, a rounder natural look to the buttocks, and a psychological boost.

An adjustable apparatus for performing bodyweight exercises comprises a pair of side frames. The forward struts of the side frames are inclined rearwards to allow a user to exercise unimpeded. The side frames are spaced apart in a secure opposed relationship by cross members sufficiently to allow a user to exercise between them. Stabilising extensions at the base ensure the apparatus is safe to use. A pair of elongate rigid handles that project forward is demountably secured to the forward struts of the side frames. These may be moved between a plurality of pre-determined positions to allow various exercises to be performed. A cushioned rigid member for supporting a user's lower body is suspended between the pair of side frames. This lower body support may be raised and lowered between and secured in a plurality of positions. The lower body support assists the user by supporting a proportion of his or her bodyweight. The lower body support may swing freely to allow fluid exercise movement. Adjusting the relative positions of the elongate handles and lower body support allows variation in the angle of the user's body. The apparatus may further comprise a cushioning element at the base for the user's comfort. Additional detachable cross bars and a body support strap may be attached to the handles or structure of the apparatus to allow further variation in exercises. Furthermore embodiments of the invention may be designed to allow folding for storage.

An exercise method and device for alleviating lower back stiffness through continuous passive motion (CPM) mimicking that experienced by a person mounted on a horse at the walk. The device and method of the present invention are envisioned as being used in gymnasiums as well as health practitioners' offices, by trainers and physical therapists treating subjects with lumbar stiffness and pain, on the one hand, and by those subjects themselves who may seek relief and greater range of motion without professional assistance. With the subject seated upright on a backless seat, with his or her spine self-supported and in proper vertical alignment, the seat is accelerated, alternatingly, forward and backward, thus imposing a horizontal to-and-fro force to the lower part of the subject's body at such frequency and excursion-amplitude that that part of the body is caused to move with respect to the upper part of the body. To permit this greater excursion of the lower body with respect to the upper, the lumbar spine bends; the resultant effect of this lumbar-spine bending is relief of stiffness--and, ultimately, discomfort--in the lumbar spine area.
