Abstract

A system of exercise for video game platforms comprising of a (variable) winding device of an elastic strap that is mounted on an exercise machine connecting to a video game controller. By adding an elastic strap on a video game controller it makes it heavier, but provides balance on an exercise machine. Most exercise machines have adjustable resistance, said winding device adjusts resistance on said video game controller.

Claims

1. An exercise machine further implementing a case of a reel with a hollow core comprising a retraction spring cavity and a retraction spring, moreover implementing at least one resistance tube (or elastic leash) fastened to the reel in alignment as to wind;

said case further comprising of a narrow gap aligned with said resistance tube, thereon further comprising a leadscrew going through said case, said leadscrew fastening to a shaft, said shaft leading to the dashboard of the exercise machine implementing a turn handle.

2. The embodiment of claim 1, wherein said leadscrew further comprising a cap or block at the bottom end, or comprising the size of said narrow gap of said case.

3. The embodiment of claim 1, wherein said leadscrew may alternatively comprise of a vertical threaded cylinder on the surface of said case, and no screw, but instead comprising of said shaft that connects with said threaded cylinder and plunges on said resistance tube.

8. The embodiment of claim 1, 7, or 9 further comprising of, a video game controller or a video game mount comprising a fastener housing, preferably a bulk shape with a hollow chamber, or a bracket with a closed bottom, said resistance tube further comprising a fastener or connection on the top end, preferably a bulk shape that snaps into said shape with a hollow chamber of said video game controller or video game mount

9. The embodiment of claim 8, wherein said video game controller or said video game mount fastener alternatively implementing a weight handle, wherein said handle comprising weight, by the weight of said handle or added weight of any embodiment that may be a part or fastened to said handle (e.g., cement, iron).

4. An exercise machine comprising a case of a reel with a hollow core comprising a retraction spring cavity and a retraction spring, moreover, implementing at least one resistance tube (or elastic leash) fastened to the reel in alignment as to wind, Moreover said case further comprising a narrow gap aligned with said resistance tube, thereon comprising a linear actuator or motorized leadscrew (preferably a stepper motor linear actuator) imposing as a stopper for said resistance tube, moreover comprising leads to an exercise machine circuitry that powers and comprises an open/closed switch or button/s implemented on the exercise machine dashboard.

5. The embodiment of claim 4, wherein the linear actuator may have its own power source, and leads of said linear actuator instead going to a remote with an open/closed switch, fastened to the exercise machine dashboard.

6. An exercise machine comprising a case comprising of, a self moving reel implemented with a rotary stage, which can comprise a worm drive and or a stepper motor that spins said reel, moreover said reel implementing at least one resistance tube, or leash, or any other like, said motor further comprising leads onto an exercise machine circuitry, and an exercise machine dashboard further comprising, a forward and reverse stick or buttons.

7. The embodiment of claim 6, wherein the rotary stage may have its own power source, and leads of said rotary stage going to a remote control with a forward/reverse stick or buttons, being fastened on an exercise machine dashboard.
