The present invention generally relates to fitness and exercise system. More specifically the present invention is an apparatus capable of providing the user with a full body workout that relies on constant force springs to provide mechanical resistance.
Physical fitness can determine the quality of human life and physical longevity. People often do workout for strength training, physical comfort, athleticism, and other reasons. Physical activity is crucial to maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. Workouts can be specifically tailored to an individual's goal. Each exercise is designed to work a select group of muscles, while other plans offer a more comprehensive coverage. Ensuring these exercises are performed correctly is essential to the health of the user. Appropriate equipment should be practiced at all times, to ensure the user is not hurt while the workout is performed. Various equipment has been developed to assist users with workouts. Some people have lifestyles where their life is centered around traveling for extended periods of time, as a result they are not able to have access to a fully equipped gym at all times. Portable workout equipment may be laborious to utilize, and it does not always provide the results claimed by the manufacturer. Furthermore, most traditional workout equipment relies on weights and are not easily portable.
These and many other problems have been long identified. Different solutions to the problems have been tried. However there exists no comprehensive solution to all the above problems.
Therefore, the objects of the invention overcome the limitations and drawbacks from the prior art. To achieve above and other objects, the present invention anticipates a new and entirely different system that resolves the limitations and drawbacks. The present invention provides a lightweight full body workout system capable of producing consistently high amounts of mechanical force.
Another object of the present invention is to use constant force into the system assembly, further providing a method of customization for the user without the need of additional weights or traditional dumbbells. As a result, the present invention is versatile and allows for a complete body workout in the gym, or at home and provides a variety of resistance from very low resistance to very high resistance.
Further object of the present invention is to provide a portable and transportable full body fitness system using a dedicated carrying bag. Considering the unique portability and lightweight features, the provided fitness system can also be used in the outdoor environments such as park and beach.
Yet another object of the present invention is to develop a full body fitness system that has the potential to be used by beginners as wells advanced users such as personal trainers, physical therapist, field personnel, with no access to traditional facilities or weightlifting equipment or facilities.
The present invention discloses a full body strength fitness system with an integrated force generating mechanism assisting the user by providing resistance during various types of exercises. In comparison with the traditional fitness systems that works on conventional system of using weights and gravitational energy to generate the necessary resistance for an effective workout, the present invention relies on constant force produced by using constant force springs. The difficulty levels may be adjusted depending on the skill and physical condition of the person, as such, variations may be done to increase the difficulty level depending on preference. The present invention aims to provide an effective full body workout in a compact embodiment.
In one embodiment, the present invention uses a plurality of resistance elements such as constant force springs into the system assembly, further providing a method of customization for the user without the need of additional weights or traditional dumbbells. As a result, the present invention is versatile and allows for a complete body workout in the gym, or at home and provides a variety of resistance from very low resistance to very high resistance.
In another embodiment, the resistance elements of the present invention functions by using the constant force produced as a result of applying a force to deform at least one resistant element. Each of the plurality of resistance elements may be a constant force spring, and the applied force may coil or uncoil the springs.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a portable and transportable full body fitness system using a dedicated carrying bag. Considering the unique portability and lightweight features, the provided fitness system can also be used in the outdoor environments such as park and beach.
In another embodiment, the present invention provides a full body fitness system that has the potential to be used by beginners as wells advanced users such as personal trainers, physical therapist, field personnel, with no access to traditional facilities or weightlifting equipment or facilities.
