    Abstract: A hands-free human exercise apparatus and method, including a method of use. The stretching apparatus and method promote beneficial stretching of ambulatory muscles for a broad spectrum of users, to maintain and increase flexibility and dexterity, improved joint health, mobility, or pain management, and facilitating greater balance and proprioception and stimulating rehabilitation. The apparatus includes a multi-directional, multi-configurable, and adjustable harness comprising a one or dual strap configuration having a unique multi-joint activating foot anchor. The apparatus and method facilitate stretching of a single leg, or both legs, through the ambulatory chain of muscles and joints, and with the foot anchor exploiting the flexion of the spine, full extension of the leg and pelvis, and the full flexion of the user's foot.

    Abstract: A knee pain reduction strap device is described. The device is configured to be used by a user alone who is experiencing knee pain. A primary strap is configured to be placed beneath the arch of the foot while a secondary strap, disposed atop the primary strap, helps to provide additional friction, and ensure that the device remains in position. Handles disposed on ends of the primary strap facilitate manipulation of the device by the user while in a sitting position to perform stretches of the ankle, calf, shin, and knee of the user, helping to alleviate pain over time.

    Abstract: A device to strengthen a person's arm muscles through the utilization of a portable device including a handle portion and a weight component with the two components separated by a flexible rod is provided. Such a device allows for the user to grip the handle portion and act as if they are throwing such a handle portion while the weight end moves along an arc defined through the length of the flexible rod. The resultant action is the generation of centripetal force along the defined arc with the reactive centrifugal force providing resistance to the user's arm muscles in a manner that is unique and heretofore unattainable through the utilization of a portable exercise device. The flexible rod component provides at least 1 foot (100 cm) of spacing between the handle portion and the weight portion.

    Abstract: An isometric-exercise towel for use in performing isometric exercises, including a layer of moisture-absorbent material having four corners, and a thick pile having moisture-wicking characteristics, a hand/foot-insertable aperture formed in each of the four corners of the isometric-exercise towel. The perimeter of each hand/foot-insertable aperture is reinforced with double stitching, and a reinforced stitching pattern is formed between pairs of hand/foot-insertable apertures formed on opposing ends of the isometric-exercise towel. The hand and/or foot of a person using the isometric-exercise towel, or both hands and/or feet of the person, can be inserted within any one or more of the hand/foot-insertable apertures formed in the isometric-exercise towel so as to perform one or more isometric exercises by the person using his or her hands and/or feet to exert forces against the side inner perimeter surfaces of the hand/foot-insertable apertures of the isometric-exercise towel in an outwardly and isometric manner.
