The invention as shown in FIG. 5 is an exercising device to enable a person to exercise his or her feet while seated.

Rear parts of the footrests 8 can pivot with respect to the base 1 by way of ball and socket fittings, and forward parts of the footrests 8 can pivot with respect to the pivot beam 5 by way of additional ball and socket fittings. The pivot beam 5 can pivot with respect to the base 1 by way of a further ball and socket fitting. When the exercising device is in use the person can place his or her feet on the footrests and tilt both the feet and footrests from side to side. The person can also cause forward parts of the footrests 8 to move up and down alternately by way of the pivot beam 5 by alternately pushing his or her feet down against the footrests.
