ABSTRACT:
An aquatic exercise device for use in a swimming pool or the like comprising a substantially columnar-shaped, flexible buoyant body having a first and second end and partially encircles and supports the user's body and a substantially shank-type handgripping means integrally attached and projecting endwise outwardly above and below at the first and seconds ends of the substantially columnar-shaped flexible buoyant body thereby enabling the user to perform body movements in an aquatic environment similar to movements on land of walking, running, cycling, cross-country skiing, and calisthenics and further providing enhanced exercise intensity due to the aquatic resistance to movement of the user. The exercise apparatus further embraces an attachment means to grasp the first and second ends of the exercise apparatus to enable aquatic arm exercise and a fluid resistance means attached to the distal end of the hand-gripping means to increase the resistance of the exercise means upon movement in an aquatic exercise environment. The exercise apparatus further embraces an attachment means to accept a series of detachably weighed belts encircling the columnar-shaped, flexible buoyant body. The exercise apparatus further embraces an attachment means to accept a tether on the first and second end handgripping means thereof, whereby the user may secure the exercise apparatus to the body and to a fixed object along the pool side or deck during use to enable stationary exercise during use.
