<title><![CDATA[Weight selection system for fitness training equipment]]></title>
<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7614981.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[A weight stack selection system for fitness equipment. A central stem having offset lateral movement is eliminated by the present invention. The select pin is easier for insertion to the selected desired weight due to the lack of accumulated thickness that plagued the industry. A moving block is used to intuitively select the desired weight, when said moving block is moved up and down on a rail. A safety pin is built in to each plate, so that said moving block cannot be moved unless the weight plates are in the released and settled state. A dial on a belt assembly, which drives the up/down movement of said moving block, furthers the intuitive selection means of dialing into the desired weight for training purpose.]]></description>

<link>http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7614978.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[An exercise apparatus includes a housing, a pair of pivoting foot treadles and a pair of reciprocating bellows that support the foot treadles. A sealed air system including a conduit interconnects the bellows and is operable for reciprocating transfer of air from bellow to bellow. Each of the foot treadles is pivotably movable between upper and lower positions, and has a resting position between the upper and lower positions. The resting position of the foot treadles defines a resting position of the bellows while the upper and lower positions of the foot treadles respectively define elongated and compressed positions of the bellows. In use, the elongated and compressed positions of the bellows are each no more than 5 degrees off the center resting position thereby reducing stress on the bellows.]]></description>
