ABSTRACT:
A foot massaging exercising apparatus includes a base, a pair of upright rocker bars, a pair of foot pedals, and massaging boards. The base has securing seats at a front end thereof and bearing frames at a rear end thereof. The rocker bars are pivotally mounted at the securing seats such that the user may swing them forwardly or rearwardly. The foot pedals are mounted at the bearing frames and are capable of free swinging movement. Two massaging boards, one inclining forwardly, the other inclining rearwardly, are pivotally mounted in the bearing frames below each foot pedal. One side of each foot pedal extends downwardly to form a flange. The flange is connected via a link to the lower portion of the corresponding rocker bar. When the user swings the rocker bars, due to the arrangement of the links, the foot pedals may be caused to swing forwardly and rearwardly therewith in turn. The massaging boards have massaging bosses thereon which project through corresponding elongate through holes formed in the foot pedals to intermittently acupuncture points on the user's soles. Two hydraulic retractable rods are further provided to provide a suitable resistance and achieve a stable exercising state.
