ABSTRACT:
An adjustable rotating resistance exerciser wherein an adjustment knob functions to supply an axial force to a series of interleaved washers and compressible washers to adjust the rotational restriction of a tubular grip handle, which is disposed on an inner collar that is affixed to a tubular handlebar. The exerciser may be configured such that it is adaptable to a riding bicycle or a stationary exercise bicycle or the exerciser may be affixed to various size tubes or bars such that it may be used in any convenient location. A further embodiment of the present invention may be utilized by incorporating the adjustable rotating resistance exerciser with a tabletop unit which can be used by individuals confined to wheelchairs, hospital beds or nursing homes. Furthermore, the tabletop unit may be modified to accept foot plates so that individuals may use the rotational exerciser to exercise ankle and calf muscles. Additionally, the tabletop unit is configured such that it is lightweight, portable and may be easily disassembled for convenient storage. Yet another embodiment provides a floor mounted base that telescopically receives a flexible member which telescopically receives the adjustable rotating resistance exerciser. Still another embodiment provides adjustable rotating resistance exercisers telescopically received and secured to both ends of a flexible member. Another embodiment provides an adjustable rotating exerciser received by a mounting member such as a baseball bat, golf club, tennis racket or the like.
