Abstract

An exercise device includes a housing. A first cable is configured to extend from the housing between a retracted position and an extended position. A second cable is configured to extend from the housing between a retracted position and an extended position. The first cable and the second cable independently move between the extended position and the retracted position.

Claims (17)

1. An exercise kit, comprising a plurality of devices, wherein each device comprises:

a cable configured to extend from a housing between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the cable of each of the plurality of devices is configured to individually and simultaneously attach to a different limb of a user and move through the movement of the respective limb,

a resistance device positioned in the housing and configured to bias the cable into the retracted position, and

a control system to track data related to movement of the cable, wherein the control systems of each device communicate wirelessly, and

wherein the wherein the kit further comprises a master device that stores the data tracked by each control system.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein each devices comprises a housing configured to couple to a fixed location to anchor the device.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein each housing is configured to secure to a user.

4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the resistance device of each device is positioned in a respective housing and the respective cable extends from and retracts into the respective housing.

5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the housings of each device are configured to couple to one another.

6. The device of claim 2 , wherein the housing of at least device includes a power generation device to generate an electric current when the respective cable moves between the retracted and extended position.

7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the cable of each device has a length that is greater than a reach of a user.

8. The device of claim 1 , wherein a resistance of the first cable of each device is configured to be independently altered.

9. The device of claim 1 , wherein:

a cable of a first device of the plurality of devices is configured to move in a first direction, and

a cable of a second device of the plurality of devices is configured to move in a second direction,

wherein the first direction is independent of the second direction.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein movement of the cable of at least one of the devices generates an electric current.
