An exercising device comprises a simple flat board arrangement with a transverse rib across the underside defining a single pivot axis about which the board can pivot in a forward to rearward direction. The board is sized to receive the feet of the user and carries on the underside adjacent the rear edge a pair of resilient stop members and at the forward edge a carrying handle. A separate handle piece can stand up from the upper surface for manual assistance of the rocking action.

An in situ foot exercise shoe for enhancing the in-place exercise of the foot of a person, particularly the elderly and those afflicted with various abnormalities of the lower extremities which require exercise without actual walking or running. The apparatus constructed according to the present invention comprises a shoe which enhances sliding movement in a to-and-fro path of travel. The shoe includes a planar slide for sliding in a to-and-fro reciprocal path of travel and mechanism for coupling the slide to the underside of the foot. The slide includes a sole having a smooth uninterrupted planar bottom surface for enhancing to-and-fro sliding movement.

The present invention provides a frame that supports a pair of simulator skis above a floor surface. Rear ski ends are pivotally mounted to a rear ski support in rolling contact with a track surface on a rear frame portion. Front ski ends are pivotally mounted to a front ski support in rolling contact with the floor surface. Non-parallel, equal length bars are disposed on opposite sides of the pair of skis, extending from rear bar ends pivotally mounted to the base to front bar ends pivotally mounted to the front ski support.
