ABSTRACT:
An exercising and/or amusement device operably by the hands and feet of the user has first and second platforms rigidly spaced from each other adapted to receive one of the feet of the user. A ground engaging element is below and associated with each platform and has a bottom surface for selectively engaging the ground surface. A pivotable joint connects the platform and its associated ground engaging element. The connector has a curved surface on the platform spaced from the pad and a curved surface on the ground engaging element spaced from the bottom surface. The curved surface of the platform has an opening and the curved surface of the ground engaging element each having an opening therethrough. A bolt extends from the curved surface of the ground engaging element and through the opening in the curved surface of the platform for controlling relative movement between the curved surfaces. A compression spring urges the curved surface of the ground engaging element into engagement with the curved surface of the platform and for biasing the ground engaging element towards a center position relative to the platform. An upper body exerciser is releasable secured to the platforms and adapted to accommodate the hand of the person. The upper body exercise attachment is a pair of attachments. Each attachment having a lower end for securing to one of the platforms and an upper end adapted to accommodate the upper limbs of the user.
