ABSTRACT:
An exercise device that enables a person to exercise the abductor muscles of the legs, the postural muscles and the muscles of the upper arms. The exercise device includes a base structure and two elongated members, each having an upper end and a lower end, that are joined to the base structure. The lower end of each elongated member is pivotably coupled to the base structure in a manner that enables each of the elongated members to be pivotably moved about its lower end in a direction generally away from the other elongated member. The pivotable movement of each of the elongated members is resisted by the presence of at least one resistance element that extends between each elongated member and the base structure. The presence of the resistance elements biases each elongated member into a set position that is generally perpendicular to the horizontal surface of the base structure. As a result, each of the elongated members can be pivotably moved away from each other by applying a force to an elongated member that is greater than the resistance provided by the resistance element.
