ABSTRACT:
A portable exercising apparatus (10) that allows a person to exercise the ankle, foot and toes either individually or in a combination exercise. The apparatus (10) includes a lower stationary platform (12) that is attached to an upper movable platform (20) by a platform spring (22). When a foot is placed upon the upper platform (20), the ankle and feet are exercised by moving the upper platform up and down and/or in a radial motion. The apparatus (10) also includes a pressure and hand/forearm exercising strap assembly (30) that attaches to the left or right edges (20C,20D) of the upper platform. The assembly (30) allows pressure to be maintained on the foot when exercising and includes on its upper end a hand and forearm exerciser (40). The apparatus also has a foot holding strap (64) which allows the foot to be held in-place upon the upper surface of the upper movable platform (20).
