ABSTRACT:
body exerciser including a frame base having front and rear support rods adapted to support the exerciser on the floor and a long foldable or retractable stem between the support rods; a link having a lower end pivotally connected to the stem near the rear support rod and an upper end provided with a pad; a slide seat pivotally mounted on the stem at a suitable position and having a handgrip unit disposed thereon; a drag bar having one end pivotally connected to the upper end of the link with the other end pivotally connected to the slide seat; and elastic bands or springs connecting the drag bar and the link as well as the stem. In use, the user may stand on a step pad at the rear support rod with his/her abdomen pressing against the pad on the link and both hands holding the handgrip unit while exerting forces using the abdomen and hips, combined with the of his/her body, to cause the link to incline forwardly to thereby push the slide seat forwardly. The slide seat will automatically reset when the forces thereon are removed due to the elasticity of the elastic bands or springs.
