ABSTRACT:
A leg exercising device adapted to strengthen hip abduction and adduction muscles comprising body support members secured to a frame to support the human body such that the median axis of the human body is substantially parallel to the central axis of the body support members. A pair of padded leg support members, adapted to engage the side of the legs, and a fluid flow resistence member are secured to the body support members to resist movement of extremities of the leg support members in a lateral direction between a first position wherein the feet of a user are adjacent the median axis of the body of the user to a second position wherein the extremities of the leg support members are spaced from the median axis of the body. The body support members comprise a back portion, having an upper and lower end, and a seat portion, having an upper and lower end; the back and seat portions being positioned such that the lower ends of the back and seat portions are adjacent each other and such that the angle between upper surfaces of the back and seat portions are 90 degrees or greater, so as to support the legs in a slightly bent position.
