An exercise device includes a base part adapted to rest on a floor or another surface. The device includes a first upwardly extending part extending upwardly from the base part and, spaced apart upon the base part, a second upwardly extending part is provided. A lever frame, for supporting a person thereon, is pivoted by way of a pivotation mechanism relative to the first upwardly extending part. An engagement device is provided to act on the second upwardly extending part at a position higher t...

An exercising system is provided to enable a user to obtain twice the exercise per unit time offered by a conventional jump rope. At the same time, the system of the invention provides the user with a construction as near to that of the conventional jump rope as possible. To this end, a pair of opposed mutually independent elongated tubular handles are mounted to a pair of hoop members over which the user jumps between their ends. The system is adjustable so as to accommodate a range of sizes of...

The exercising machine includes a free-standing support structure that has first and second pivotally interconnected legs. Each leg has an upper and a lower leg with a foot at the lower end of each leg. In the operative state of the machine, the form an free-standing, inverted y-shape with the feet on the ground. For compact storage, the second leg can be pivoted alongside the first leg. In addition there is a seat which is pivotally connected relative to the first leg so as to move between an o...

An exercise device comprises an elongate strut on which a pair of limb engaging members are located. At least one of the limb engaging members is slidable along the length of the strut towards and away from the other member. A resistive force means such as one or more elastomeric bands links the movable limb engaging member to a reaction point on the strut or the other limb engaging member. The arrangement is such that movement of the movable limb engaging member along the strut in at least one ...

An exercising device of the type that may be used in hand to hand combat training or to enhance hand, eye and foot reflexes and coordination is disclosed. The device comprises a central longitudinal body which is generally vertically oriented and has at least one elongate cross member, having two opposing ends, pivotally mounted on the central body. The said opposing ends extend radially outward in opposite directions from said central body allowing the cross member to rotate about the longitudi...

An exercising device is disclosed. The exercising device includes a roller device, having an axis, for rolling along a first direction from a start point, a first variation point, a second variation point to a stop point and along a second direction from the stop point, the second variation point, the first variation point, to the start point; an axle device for passing therethrough the axis; a first energy-storing device, connected to the roller device, for storing energy when the roller device...

A glove for exercising digits of a human hand. The inventive device includes an inner glove for receiving a human hand therewithin. Digit cups are secured to the inner glove for receiving the outermost portion of each digit. A plurality of spring-loaded tension cables extend along a posterior of the glove and operate to resist motion of the glove during closing of the hand. An adjustment assembly effects tensioning of the cables to a desired resistance.

An exercising, e.g., waterless swim training apparatus is disclosed having a frame and a support for the trainee's torso where the torso support is movable along a curve that is convex to the ground below, thus simulating the rocking, or rolling motion experienced in swimming. The frame and body support provide an obstruction free region so that the user can practice breast stroke, butterfly, back stroke and free style strokes without touching any part of the frame, ground, etc. with his/her fin...

Enhanced body movements and optimum exercising effects are realized in a riding type exercising apparatus which includes separated hand drive and leg drive mechanisms, wherein the hand drive mechanism is located behind the body of the user so that when the user pulls on handles of the hand drive mechanism and pushes pedals of the leg drive mechanism, the handles travel an arcuate path about a pivot point at the hand drive mechanism so that the handles are disposed at a final point that is higher...

An exercise frame for use by individuals with limited lower body muscle control utilizing a support frame having fore and aft ends a support member for receiving an extensible means attached to said fore end three upright support members attached to either side of said frame a seat frame work pivotally attached to said upright members, leg, hip, and chest pads attached to said fore end extensible means.
