ABSTRACT:
An improved exercise device is disclosed that simulates a crawling motion for the user. A flat, horizontal base is provided, having gripping feet on the underside in order to be placed upon the floor. The base supports at one end a rotatable, torque resistant handlebar which provides a pair of spaced handgrips. The base guides a pair of fully supported shin and knee pads. Each shin and knee pad is designed to distribute the user's weight away from one small pressure point at the knee to the whole length of the user's lower leg, thereby decreasing both the pressure upon and discomfort to the knee. Each shin and knee pad is slidably contained by a pair of non-parallel guide tracks. By guiding the shin and knee pad along a pair of non-parallel tracks, the shin and knee pad is placed at an acute forward angle with the axial center of the base.
