Wall-Mounted Home Fitness Training Equipment

Abstract

An overall fitness trainer and can be a wall mounted unit that can utilize clip resistance bands as well as other techniques. These bands generally clip on the unit and onto different handles, bars and attachments to perform exercises. The unit can have a removable/adjustable pull up bar, dip bar and seat. It also includes a spring loaded, pull pin carriage that moves freely up and down a vertical spine. This allows for easy adjustment of the carriage and allows the user to attach the bands at multiple angles, widths and levels. This in turn increases the number of exercises the user can perform on the unit. The unit can be attached to the wall with lag bolts into two or more studs.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An exercise device comprising:
 a dolly-like cart with at least 4 wheels and three attachment hooks, said attachment hooks being placed on three sides of said cart;   at least three stretch cord devices, each attached to one of said attachment hooks on said cart at a first end and to a fixed structure at a second end;   each of said stretch cord devices comprising:
 a stretch cord of a particular diameter substantially 18 inches long in an unstretched condition with first and second ends; 
 first and second swivel clips; 
 first and second connecting sections, wherein said first connecting section connects the first swivel clip with said first end, and said second connecting section connects the second swivel clip with said second end, 
 wherein, total length of the device including said first and second swivel clips, said first and second connecting sections and said stretch cord in an unstretched condition is substantially 28 inches long; 
 and wherein the particular diameter is chosen to achieve a desired pull force. 
   
     
     
         2 . The exercise device of  claim 1  wherein each stretch cord device is color-coded according to pull force. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said pull force is measured when said stretch cord is stretched to approximately twice its unstretched length. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said wheels are swivel wheels. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said stretch cords each have equal pull forces of 5 lbs, 9 lbs., or 12 lbs. 
     
     
         6 . A workout apparatus comprising a rectangular cart with a bottom and four sides, said cart having four swivel wheels on said bottom, and three hooks on three different of said sides;
 three workout pull cord devices of equal pull force, each attached at one end to one of said hooks and attached at a second end to a door or wall, each of said workout pull cord devices comprising:   an elastic stretch cord substantially 18 inches long with a diameter chosen for a particular pull force, said stretch cord having a swivel clip connected on each end with a connecting section, wherein said apparatus has a total unstretched length of substantially 28 inches.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein each of said elastic stretch cords is color coded according to pull force. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said pull force is measured when said elastic stretch cord is stretched to approximately twice its unstretched length. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein said elastic stretch cords each have equal pull forces of 5 lbs, 9 lbs., or 12 lbs.
