ABSTRACT:
An exercise device comprises an elongate strut on which a pair of limb engaging members are located. At least one of the limb engaging members is slidable along the length of the strut towards and away from the other member. A resistive force means such as one or more elastomeric bands links the movable limb engaging member to a reaction point on the strut or the other limb engaging member. The arrangement is such that movement of the movable limb engaging member along the strut in at least one direction requires work to be done against the action of the resistive force means. Preferably both limb engaging members are movable along the length of the strut towards and away from each other. The strut may be formed in more than one section with the different ends of the sections engageable with each other to provide for different modes of operation of the device.
