ABSTRACT:
An improved exercise device including two exercise poles, each having an upper segment secured via an articulating joint to the upper body and a lower segment which is slidably connected to the upper segment. The lower segment includes a hand support or hand grip. A vest with an integral harness includes left and right side articulating joints providing a selected amount of friction. Preferably, each joint includes a cylindrical molded hub with two opposed transversely projecting bayonet lugs; the hub is received within a collar affixed at the proximal end of an upper pole segment and having a circular aperture ringed by an inwardly projecting annular flange with two opposed grooves adapted to receive the two hub bayonet lugs. The hub and collar are separable and are joined by aligning the hub bayonet lugs with the collar flange grooves whereupon the hub may be inserted coaxially within the collar, thereby projecting the hub lugs beyond the opposing surface of the inwardly projecting annular flange. The collar (and attached upper segment may then be rotated around the axis of the hub to rotatably secure the collar onto the hub. The upper segment is slidably and rotatably connected to the lower segment allowing the lower segment to be twisted and moved rectilinearly relative to the upper segment. The lower segment is terminated at the bottom in an elastomeric pole tip for absorbing shock.
