ABSTRACT:
A kayak exercise simulator for allowing a user to simulate the movements employed while rowing with a double bladed oar. The kayak exercise simulator comprises a base member having a platform for sitting upon, and a pivot rod having an upper pivot rod end and a lower pivot rod end, extending upward from the platform. A rowing arm having opposite ends and a center located between the opposite ends is pivotally connected at the center to the upper pivot rod end of the pivot rod. The pivotal connection permits a multitude of horizontal, vertical and circular kayak-rowing motions to be simulated upon the user sitting upon the platform, placing a leg on each opposite side of the pivot bar and grasping an end of the rowing arm with each hand. Detachable weights may be secured to the ends of the rowing arm to vary the amount of force needed to accomplish the simulated rowing exercises.
