ABSTRACT:
An air resistance device to be held in the hand of user while undertaking exercise, this device having a grasping portion and a frame portion. The grasping portion comprises a relatively straight member upon one end of which an arm clamping member is disposed, and adjacent the other end of which a handle to be grasped by the hand of the user is disposed. The frame portion is attached adjacent the handle and is of elongate rectangular configuration, with its length exceeding its width. The length of the frame portion extends generally in the same direction as the relatively straight member. The frame portion is relatively rigid and configured to receive a membrane thereon through which air cannot easily pass. Therefore, upon a membrane being attached to the frame portion, a user can derive exercise by attempting to move the device rapidly against the resistance of the ambient air. Different versions of a foldable handle arrangement are taught, and the membrane may be integral with the frame portion.
