ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for exercising. The apparatus is comprised of a first extension and a second extension. Each extension is collapsible for portability, but rigid when deployed. Additionally, each extension has in proximity to its first end a pad. The pad is connected to the extension such that it can rotate and translate to a desired position and then be fixed relative to the extension. Each pad has a deployable handle with which to grip the extension and move it. Each pad also has an opening within which the handle can be disposed when not deployed. The apparatus is also comprised of a device for providing resistance to the first and second extension when they are moved relative to each other. The first and second extensions extend from and are connected to the resistance providing means. The user exercises muscles in his legs by placing the pads between his legs and closing his legs against the resistance of the apparatus. The user exercises muscles in his upper body by gripping the handles of the apparatus and bringing his arms together against the resistance of the apparatus.
