The present invention relates to an exercise device. The device has a multiplicity of uses. It may be used to test or to strengthen muscles. It may be used to enable the user to develop or improve sexual skills. The device consists of an elongated flexible tube member connected in a fluid-tight manner to a pressure indicating means. Pressure exerted on the tube member is reflected on the pressure indicating means.

An exercise apparatus which assists a person in assuming a shoulder stand or a hanging from the knee position and accomodates either of these positions. The apparatus includes a frame with two side panels between which are mounted a pivot bar, a shoulder support and a knee support bar. To assume either the shoulder stand or hanging from the knees position, the user faces the pivot bar and pivots about it at the midsection of the body. The spacial relationship between the pivot bar, shoulder supp...

An exercise apparatus providing for accommodating resistance while allowing the level of resistance to the exercise force to be varied is provided by the present invention. The exercise apparatus also includes a movable arm for indicating the magnitude of the force exerted by a user of the apparatus. A frictional member is journaled on a rotatable shaft which is rotated by a user of the apparatus. This frictional member is sandwiched between two other members rotatably coupled with the shaft and...

An exercise apparatus comprising a pair of relatively rotatable friction members, one of which is driven from a rotatable spool through a ratchet and pawl assembly. A rope wound on the spool drives the members when the rope is pulled and a centrifugal brake clamps the members to increase the friction force responsive to the speed at which the rope is pulled. In one form, the frame is rockable against springs. A follower moves along a helical groove in the spool and carries a marker for indicatin...

A game wherein provision is made for the chance designation of the character and duration of performance of an exercise selected from a group of exercises designed to condition the body of the player in five important physical fitness component areas including cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, agility, balance and strength. Instructions for the performance of these exercises are imprinted on one side of cards of various colors which are arranged colored side up in piles relating to the vari...

An exerciser is provided in the form of an armchair having a body-carrying seat member mounted on the chair for rotary reciprocating motion about a vertical axis relative to the chair including its legs, back and arms. Power driving mechanism is provided for effecting the rotary reciprocating motion of the seat member so that a person sitting on the seat will have imparted to his buttocks a movement which will exercise his leg muscles when his feet are on the floor, his arm muscles when his arms...

A flexible pillar sole member is provided for attachment to the front portion of a shoe thereby causing the wearer to stand, walk and run without touching his heels to the ground. The resultant shoe provides for dynamic exercise.

An Exercise Device for exercising various portions of the body is described, the Exercise Device including a cyclically spinning member, the member caused to spin in opposite directions of rotation by means of the axially induced twisting of spaced cords, the reversing directions of spinning being caused by the user applying pressure outwardly on the cords, and alternately releasing the pressure. Apparatus is illustrated for varying the tension that is required on the wound cords in order to cau...

An exercise device which includes a pair of side frames extending substantially vertical in parallel position and held in relatively fixed position by cross members. An extension projects from one end of each side frame and a padded horizontally disposed bar is adjustably fixed between said extensions and is adapted to engage the front of the leg of an exerciser at approximately the height of his ankle. A padded leg support member adapted to engage the back of an exerciser's leg at about his cal...

An exercise machine having a stand to support a board containing tracks and angular tracks along which double wheel grips may be rolled. One end of the board is moveable up and down the stand to give different angles of slant, thus requiring different degrees of difficulty in performing the exercise. There are stops that may be placed on the tracks to require different degrees of difficulty in performing the exercises at the different angles of slant of the board.
