ABSTRACT:
An exercise apparatus (10) having a rod (16) including a cylindrical head cushion (14) at one end and an annular heel cushion (12) at a second end with a handle (18) defined between the head and heel cushions. The method of the present invention comprises using the exercise apparatus (10) to increase circulation, muscle tone and skin toughness in a selected muscle group by repeated application of force through the exercise apparatus (10). According to one approach, the exercise apparatus (10) is rolled over a muscle group with a reciprocal rolling motion wherein the handle portion (16) contacts the muscle group while the head cushion (14) and heel cushion (12) of the apparatus (10) are journaled in a user's hand. Another approach is to grasp the apparatus )10) at the handle portion ( 16), and impart chopping blows to a selected muscle group. Another approach is to impart upward, glancing blows of the head cushion (14) of the apparatus (10) against a selected muscle group with a circular motion. In a final approach, the heel cushion (12) of the apparatus (10) may be used to impart localized pressure and friction by applying a twisting movement to a selected muscle group.
