1. An energy-absorbing suspension apparatus (“
- EASE”
) for use in conjunction with a general exercise equipment, comprising;
an energy absorbing component having a first shape in the absence of a force applied by a user, said energy absorbing component configured to change shape so as to absorb energy in response to application of a compressive force by the user, and configured to return to substantially its first shape in response to the removal of said compressive force;
an attachment structure configured to connect said energy-absorbing suspension apparatus to said exercise equipment; and
an attachment structure configured to permit said energy-absorbing suspension apparatus to be located on a rigid support;
whereby said energy-absorbing suspension apparatus is configured to reduce a reaction force exerted on a user of said exercise equipment.

Abstract
An exercise device or exercise device attachment with an energy absorbing component configured to change shape so as to absorb energy in response to a compressive force by the user. Said energy absorption component returns substantially to its first shape in response to the removal of the compressive force. The energy-absorbing apparatus is configured to reduce a reaction force exerted on the user of said exercise equipment.
