ABSTRACT:
An exercising apparatus, enabling the application of traction to various parts of the human body, comprises a rigid frame with two parallel limbs interconnected by at least one cross-bar to which a body-engaging strap is connected via a flexible link such as a chain. Each limb carries an adjustably mounted and self-locking handgrip which is grasped by a user lying on a supporting surface over which the frame is freely slidable, the user either pulling or pushing these handgrips while having his hip, neck or feet strapped to the frame. The handgrips, when unlocked, are swingable in planes transverse to their limbs and may also be slidable thereon by the user until the latter applies the traction-generating force, thereby immobilizing them in the selected position. The connecting link can also be slidably mounted on its cross-bar and made self-locking upon the application of traction.
