ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus which assists a person in assuming a shoulder stand or a hanging from the knee position and accomodates either of these positions. The apparatus includes a frame with two side panels between which are mounted a pivot bar, a shoulder support and a knee support bar. To assume either the shoulder stand or hanging from the knees position, the user faces the pivot bar and pivots about it at the midsection of the body. The spacial relationship between the pivot bar, shoulder support and knee support bar permit the user to slowly and carefully pivot into the shoulder stand position utilizing the knee support bar if desired to assist in maintaining the shoulder stand position or to hang free from the knees. When the exercises are completed, the pivot bar supports the user in returning to an upright position.
