ABSTRACT:
An aerial exercise assembly is provided which enables human users to achieve bounding, swinging and flipping exercise movements and comprises a set of swing members such as straps that extend downwardly from a support and which may be coupled to a single strap or rope for hoisting the user to a desired exercise position. A pair of elongate elastic members having multiple elastic strands establish elastic connection between the swing members and a pair of support straps. Extension of the elastic members is limited by safety cables to limit downward movement of the support straps to enhance the safety of the apparatus. Foot engaging elements, which may be loops or one or more foot boards, are provided at the lower ends of the support straps for stabilized engagement with the feet of the user. A pelvic harness is positionable about the pelvic region of the user and is provided with a pair of harness pivot straps that enable lateral positioning and 360.degree. pivoting of the harness and the user relative to the support straps so that the user can accomplish flips while exercising and can accomplish bounding at both the upright and inverted positions. The harness pivot straps further enable the user to accomplish a substantially seated position such as for resting between periods of exercise.
