ABSTRACT:
A combination jumping game and exerciser providing at least one player with both a physical and cardiovascular workout. The combination jumping game and exerciser includes a base having a face side and defining at least two playing zones. A motor is positioned within the base and includes a rotating shaft. A rotating plate is positioned on the face side of the base and is connected to rotate with the motor shaft. A rod is connected to and extends from the rotating plate for rotating about the base. In operation the rod passes through the at least two playing zones during rotation and ceases its rotation upon contacting an object in its path of rotation. As the rod rotates players are positioned within respective ones of the at least two playing zones and leap over the rod as it passes through their zone. If a player contacts the rod as it passes through their zone, the rod ceases its rotation and the player receives a strike. The last player left striking the rod fewer than the maximum number of times wins the game. The game is also provided with a speed control to adjust the speed at which the rod rotates and a scoreboard for tracking the number of times each player contacts the rod. A counter is also provided for tracking the number of rotations completed by the rod.
