ABSTRACT:
An exercise device includes a base having a support column vertically extending therefrom. A handle assembly is rotatably mounted to one side of the column about a horizontal axis passing through the column. The handle assembly is linked to a first swingable housing on the opposed side of the column with rotation of the handle assembly causing a swingable movement of the first housing. An elastic band extends from the first housing and is wound about guide pins in a second housing fixed to the column so that movement of the first housing is resisted by the elastic band. The tension of the band is regulated by first and second band take up reels in the first housing, the reels being rotatable by a dial extending from the first housing. Rotation of the reels winds or unwinds the band ends therefrom so as to increase or decrease the tension in the elastic.
