ABSTRACT:
An exercising device comprising a pair of rods, a connecting member, a pair of pivots each connecting one of the opposite ends of the connecting member to a corresponding one of the rods, and a spring inter-connecting adjacent ends of the rods, wherein each pivot is separately adjustable in position along the corresponding rod and lockable into its selected position. Preferably each pivot comprises a sleeve slidably arranged around one of the rods and hinged to one end of the connecting member, each sleeve being lockable in position along its corresponding rod by a screw. The ends of the rods remote from the spring are pressed together by the exerciser, who may select the resistance afforded by the spring, and to some extent the directional characteristics of the spring, by moving the sleeves in the same direction, or in opposite directions, to any desired position along the rods. The device can also be folded compactly into a position in which the rods and connecting member are substantially parallel and adjacent to each other.
