ABSTRACT:
An amusement device is provided in one embodiment with two annular elements that are integrally connected in coplanar relationship to each other. Each of the annular elements has a diameter within the range of 8 inches to 24 inches for enabling one foot of the user to be readily inserted and thereafter rotated to horizontally swing the device in a horizontal arc, causing the user to intermittently hop on the remaining foot to clear the opposite element during each rotation of the device. Both of the elements are preferably integrally coupled to smooth, rounded, depending bosses which retain the elements in spaced disposition from the ground so that the user can readily insert his or her foot underneath the device to initiate swinging movement thereof. In another form of the invention, a third annular element is coplanar with and interconnects the first and second elements, for increasing the variety of bodily motions and exercise patterns that may be employed.
