ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic, portable exercise apparatus which strengthens the knees, quadriceps, hamstrings, and buttocks. The base comprises a parallel front and rear connected by a transverse member at their midpoints. Handle bars are mounted at the front by a telescoping support. On the transverse member there are two rigidly mounted anchors. The anchor closest to the front holds a length of angle iron containing a configuration of at least five holes. The second anchor mounted toward the rear of the base holds a pedal arm pivotally mounted at one end and a rigid foot pedal at the other end. In the middle of the pedal arm is rigidly mounted a duplicate configuration of five holes. An extension spring is connected from a hole in configuration to configuration, thus raising the pedal arm off the base. The user steps on the rear of the base, grasps the handle bars for balance as s/he places one foot on the foot pedal and pushes it down to the base then allows it back up and repeats the cycle as desired.
