Platform for virtual reality movement
In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may provide first images to a user; determine a rotation of a head of the user; provide second images, based at least on the rotation, to the user; and rotate a platform in accordance with the rotation. In one example, the platform may include a movement belt, and one or more of a walking movement and a running movement of the user may be determine via the movement belt. In another example, one or more optical sensors may be utilized to determine movements of the user. In one or more embodiments, determining the rotation of the head of the user may include utilizing one or more of a gyroscope and an accelerometer of a head mounted display, worn by the user. For example, the head mounted display may provide images of a virtual reality environment to the user.
ACTIVE ARM PASSIVE LEG EXERCISE MACHINE WITH GUIDED LEG MOVEMENT
An exercise machine has a main frame, two base link members supported for cyclical movement on base tracks on the main frame, two handles pivotal about a handle axis on the frame in which the handles are operatively connected to the base link members respectively such that a cyclical movement of the handles drives the cyclical movement of the respective base link members, a foot support carried on each base link member for supporting a respective foot of the user thereon through a walking motion of the user as the base link members are moved cyclically, a torso support on the main frame supporting a torso of the user thereon having one or more degrees of freedom relative to the main frame, and leg linkages connected between the main frame and respective ones of the base link members with bracing to secure legs of the user therein.
BASE APPARATUS FOR ROTATING A FITNESS BALANCE DEVICE
A base apparatus for accommodating and rotating a fitness balance device for a balance workout routine is provided. The base apparatus comprises a bottom member, a ball bearing plate, a top member, a fastening mechanism, and multiple ball bearings. The ball bearings are disposed in a circular track located on an upper surface of the bottom member. The ball bearing plate is disposed between the bottom member and the top member. Each peripheral hole in the ball bearing plate is configured to accommodate a ball bearing. The top member is in communication with and disposed above the ball bearing plate, and is slidably fastened to the bottom member by the fastening mechanism. The top member comprises a collar for accommodating the fitness balance device, and is configured to rotate relative to the bottom member with the movement of the ball bearings in the circular track of the bottom member.
EXERCISE DEVICE
A multipurpose exercise device having a base that rests on a support surface and a user platform upon which the user stands. The lower end of a perpendicular support post is mounted to the base to axially pivot thereon and the upper end of the post is pivotally mounted to the lower surface of the user platform. The user platform pivots with the support post in a horizontal plane parallel to the support surface and pivots on the support post in a vertical plane perpendicular to the horizontal support surface. Resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the support post and the other end mounted to the base to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the horizontal plane. Preferably, a plurality of resistance elements are provided having one end mounted to the base and the other end mounted to the user platform to control the velocity and angle of pivot of the user platform in the vertical plane. In use, the user stands on the user platform and performs exercise motions to propel the user platform to pivot in the horizontal plane and the vertical plane. The user platform may include various type foot mounts to simulate sports activities such as skiing and snowboarding.
EXERCISE DEVICES
An exercise device includes spaced-apart exercise members engageable by appendages of an exerciser and moveable in opposed directions, a body support member for supporting an exerciser and a platform below the body support member. A synchronizing drive system connects the exercise members with the body support member for moving the body support member in opposite directions relative to the platform by movement of the exercise members in opposite directions, respectively.

EXERCISE APPARATUS
An exercise apparatus (5) comprising: a user input device (5i) mounted to a frame for movement in a first direction (6f) and for movement in a second direction (6o) that is generally opposite the first direction (6f), the user input device (5i) comprising a manually engageable device (5e) interconnected to a first fan (20) adapted to be rotatably driven to exert a first resistance (R1) on rotation in one direction and a second fan (22) adapted to be rotatably driven to exert a second resistance (R2) on rotation in one direction.
Exercise board assembly
Disclosed herein is an exercise board assembly that includes an exercise board, a support leg, and one or more rocker surface(s). The support leg is pivotally mounted to the exercise board and can be secured in at least two positions, including one to arrange the board in a stable angled configuration relative to a floor and a folded position. The support leg can be locked in a number of positions so that a user can perform different exercises using the exercise board. The rocker surface may support the exercise board on the floor surface when the support leg is in the folded position. When engaged with the floor, the rocker surface(s) cause the board to be unstable, thereby causing it to rock or tilt relative to the floor. Stops may be included to limit a range for rocking of the board relative to the floor surface.

Multifunctional curved board
A multi-functional curved board used as a support for legs of a user and for general maintenance of muscle strength, the multi-functional curved board having one or more curved bodies (1) including a radius of curvature, a longitudinal axis, and at least one raised foot support. The multi-functional curved board can be bent in the direction transverse to the radius of curvature to enable the multi-functional curved board to rotate around the longitudinal axis.
