Exercise equipment

Abstract

An exercise apparatus may include a first horizontal bar, a second horizontal bar, a titled body supporting unit, a supporting assembly and an adjusting unit. In one embodiment, both the first horizontal bar and second horizontal bar are located at a rear portion of the exercise equipment, so the user can fully extend his arms and stretch the back muscle and cervical spine when grasping the horizontal bar. The adjusting unit is used to adjust the titled angle of the titled body supporting unit. The user can hold either the first or second horizontal bar and lay the body on top of the titled body supporting unit, such that the titled body supporting unit can sustain a substantial portion of the user's weight to enable the user to lift the body with the arms holding on the horizontal bar, even though the user is elder or overweight.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An exercise equipment comprising at least one horizontal bar, a titled body supporting unit, and a supporting assembly, wherein the supporting assembly has a pair of vertical posts and a base to support the exercise equipment, and an upper portion of the titled body supporting unit is pivotally secured on each of the vertical posts, and the horizontal bar is disposed behind the vertical posts, namely on an opposite side of the titled body supporting unit, so when the user grasps the horizontal bar, the user's arms can be fully extended, and the user's back muscle and cervical spine can be stretched. 
     
     
         2 . The exercise equipment of  claim 1 , further comprising an adjusting unit to adjust a tilted angle of the titled body supporting unit. 
     
     
         3 . The exercise equipment of  claim 1 , wherein a the supporting assembly further includes a lower supporting unit located at the base on both sides of the body supporting unit; one end of the lower supporting unit is secured on the base, and the other end thereof is pivotally connected to a lower portion of both sides of the body supporting unit. 
     
     
         4 . The exercise equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the supporting assembly further includes a bar supporting unit on each vertical post extending toward the opposite side of the titled body supporting unit, and the bar supporting unit has a plurality of positioning grooves thereon. 
     
     
         5 . The exercise equipment of  claim 2 , wherein the supporting assembly further includes a bar supporting unit on each vertical post extending toward the opposite side of the titled body supporting unit, and the bar supporting unit has a plurality of positioning grooves thereon. 
     
     
         6 . The exercise equipment of  claim 4 , wherein the horizontal bar is configured to be disposed in one of the positioning grooves and the user can move the horizontal bar along the bar supporting unit according to the user's preference. 
     
     
         7 . The exercise equipment of  claim 5 , wherein the horizontal bar is configured to be disposed in one of the positioning grooves and the user can move the horizontal bar along the bar supporting unit according to the user's preference. 
     
     
         8 . The exercise equipment of  claim 4 , further comprising a head supporting unit on the horizontal bar to support the user's head, wherein the head supporting unit includes a first supporting unit used to support around the user's chin and a second supporting unit used to support around the upper portion of the user's head. 
     
     
         9 . The exercise equipment of  claim 7 , further comprising a head supporting unit on the horizontal bar to support the user's head, wherein the head supporting unit includes a first supporting unit used to support around the user's chin and a second supporting unit used to support around the upper portion of the user's head. 
     
     
         10 . The exercise equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the first and second supporting units are used to share a portion of the user's weight, so when the user grasps the horizontal bar, the arms can be relaxed to a certain extent. 
     
     
         11 . The exercise equipment of  claim 1 , wherein the base has a first base element and a second base element, which are pivotally connected with each other, and when the exercise equipment is folded, the first base element is configured to be lifted and rotated in a counterclockwise manner, and the titled body supporting unit can be moved toward the vertical posts to minimize the size of the exercise equipment. 
     
     
         12 . The exercise equipment of  claim 9 , wherein the base has a first base element and a second base element, which are pivotally connected with each other, and when the exercise equipment is folded, the first base element is configured to be lifted and rotated in a counterclockwise manner, and the titled body supporting unit can be moved toward the vertical posts to minimize the size of the exercise equipment.
