1. Simulator simulating horse racing.
2. Hand trainer.
3. A device for side exercises.
4. A simulator for straightening posture.
5. Tummy massager.
6. Hand trainer.
7. Back massager.
8. The simulator for the feet.
9. Stretching simulator.
10. Hand trainer.
11. And two more simulators of an unclear purpose.
