ABSTRACT:
An exercise device for exercising the lower body of a person comprising an elongated spring bar which may or may not be provided with weights at the ends. A protective collar is provided centrally of the bar to permit the user to support the bar on the shoulders or on the back. The user springs up and down between an erected and squat position and the bar oscillates in phase with the user's movements such that in the squat position the bar forms a tension arc with the ends pointed downwardly while storing spring energy. As the user begins his upward movement the rebound of the bar adds initially, additional pressure on the participating muscles after which, as the tension is released and the user moves toward an erect position, the further rebound of the bar will enhance the upward movement.
