Exercise accessories and system
An exercise accessory may be a component of a leg lift exercise system assembly. The exercise accessory may be useful for a user to hold themselves up by the arms to perform leg lifts, among other exercises. The accessory has an angular adjuster to allow a user to adjust the positioning of his or her forearms during the exercise. The angular adjuster has a cage which can attach to and suspend from an overhead bar, and an apertured base having radial tines. An indexer may be able to rotatably index to and rest within the radial tines. Rotating the indexer when tension is not applied to the system allows the user to adjust angular positioning. From the indexer and through the aperture an arm support is suspended.
1. An exercise system comprising:
an angular-adjuster configured to couple to a horizontal bar, the angular-adjuster comprising
a cage including
a rigid band having a curvature, a front end, and a back end parallel to the front end, such that the curvature is adapted to circumscribe the horizontal bar when the exercise accessory is installed to the horizontal bar, thereby enabling rotational articulation of the angular-adjuster about the horizontal bar,
a base which bridges the front end to the back end,
an aperture perforating the base, and
a plurality of radially-arrayed tines circumscribing the aperture and facing towards the curvature, and
an indexer including at least one tine, the at least one tine being sized and shaped to index to any of the radially-arrayed tines;
an arm support able to accept a user's forearm, the arm support comprising a flexible sling;
a connecting-member suspending the arm support from the angular-adjuster, the connecting-member being affixable to the indexer and passing through the aperture; and
a hand grip affixed to the suspension member and cantilevering out from the suspension member.
2. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the indexer includes a first-tine and a second-tine, the first-tine and the second-tine being colinear and separated by one-hundred-and-eighty degrees.
3. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member is a cylindrical rod.
4. The exercise system of claim 1 , wherein the connecting member comprises a threaded end and the indexer comprises a threaded aperture, such that the threaded end may affix to the threaded aperture.
5. The exercise system of claim 1 , further comprising a cushion nested within a concave side of the curvature of the band.
6. The exercise system of claim 1 , further comprising
a resistance-band having a first-end, a second-end, and a length therebetween, the resistance band being linearly expandable;
a first attachment-clip coupled to the first-end;
a second attachment-clip coupled to the second-end;
a shoe coupled to the second-end and able to receive a foot of a user, the shoe having a heel, such that the second-end couples to the heel of the shoe, and the resistance-band thereby provides resistance as the heel is pulled away from the first end;
a power source;
a sensor system configured to track user parameters and workout metrics, and communicate data directly to at least one smart device; and
a wireless transmitter able to communicate the data with a network and said at least one smart device.
7. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the first attachment-clip includes a first spring-loaded gate configured to bias in a closed position under a spring pressure, and to move into an open position when the spring pressure is overcome.
8. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the second attachment-clip includes a second spring-loaded gate configured to bias in the closed position under the spring pressure, and to move into the open position when the spring pressure is overcome.
9. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the first attachment-clip is moveable along the length of the resistance-band.
10. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the first-end includes a first adjustable-button configured to selectively unlock and lock the first attachment-clip along the length of the resistance-band.
11. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the first-end includes a first clip-stopper to prevent removal of the first attachment-clip from the first-end of the resistance-band.
12. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the second attachment-clip is moveable along the length of the resistance-band.
13. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the second-end includes a second adjustable-button configured to selectively unlock and lock the second attachment-clip along the length of the resistance-band.
14. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the second-end includes a second clip-stopper to prevent removal of the second attachment-clip from the second-end of the resistance-band.
15. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the at least one attachment-hook includes two attachment-hooks.
16. The exercise system of claim 6 , wherein the resistance-band comprises a durable rubber material.
17. An exercise system comprising:
an exercise-support including:
a horizontal bar;
a first vertical-support;
a second vertical-support opposite the first vertical support, the first vertical support and the second vertical support coupled together by the horizontal bar;
a first-base removably attached to a first base-end of the first vertical-support; and
a second-base opposite the second-base, the second-base being removably attached to a second base-end of the second vertical-support;
an angular-adjuster configured to couple to the horizontal bar, the angular-adjuster comprising
a cage including
a rigid band having a curvature, a front end, and a back end parallel to the front end, such that the curvature may circumscribe the horizontal bar when the exercise accessory is installed to the horizontal bar, thereby enabling rotational articulation of the angular-adjuster about the horizontal bar,
a base which bridges the front end to the back end,
an aperture perforating the base,
a plurality of radially-arrayed tines circumscribing the aperture and facing towards the curvature,
an indexer including
at least one tine which is sized and shaped to index to any of the radially-arrayed tines,
an arm support able to accept a user's forearm, the arm support comprising a flexible sling;
a connecting-member suspending the arm support from the angular-adjuster, the connecting-member being affixable to the indexer and passing through the aperture;
a hand grip affixed to the suspension member and cantilevering out from the suspension member;
at least one resistance-band having a first-end, a second-end opposite the first-end and a length therebetween, the first-end including a first attachment-clip, and the second-end including a second attachment-clip; and
at least one foot-section having at least one first attachment-hook and at least one adjustable-strap, the at least one attachment-hook being configured for attachment to one of the first attachment-clip and the second attachment-clip, and wherein the foot-section is configured to receive and hold a foot of a user; and
at least one mount to which the attachment-clip may affix.
18. The exercise system of claim 17 , further comprising
a first-tripod having a first tripod-aperture able to accept and circumscribe the first vertical-support;
a second-tripod having a second tripod-aperture able to accept and circumscribe the second vertical-support;
a baseplate coupling and bridging the first base-end of the first vertical-support and the second base-end of the second vertical-support, the baseplate paralleling the horizontal bar; and
at least one mount mounted to the baseplate.
