ABSTRACT:
An adjustable rotating resistance exerciser wherein an adjustment knob functions to supply an axial force to a series of interleaved washers and compressible washers to adjust the rotational restriction of a tubular grip handle, which is disposed on an inner collar that is affixed to a tubular handlebar. The exerciser may be configured such that it is adaptable to a riding bicycle or a stationary exercise bicycle or the exerciser may be affixed to various size robes or bars such that it may be used in any convenient location. A further embodiment of the present invention may be utilized by incorporating the adjustable rotating resistance exerciser with a tabletop unit which can be used by individuals confined to wheelchairs, hospital beds or nursing homes. Furthermore, the tabletop unit may be modified to accept foot plates so that individuals may use the rotational exerciser to exercise ankle and calf muscles. Additionally, the tabletop unit is configured such that it is lightweight, portable and may be easily disassembled for convenient storage.
