ABSTRACT:
The leg and ankle exercise device has a foot member rotatable attached to a pair of attachment arms which extend from and are attached to a leg member. The leg member is attached to the back of the lower leg of an exercise user by leg straps. The user's foot rests on the foot member and is positioned and retained by a heel rest and a foot strap. A handle attached to the toe end of the foot rest is then pulled by the user to provide the force against which to rotate and exercise the ankle and the back of the leg including the tendons and muscles, i.e., hamstring muscles, achilles tendon and others, as well as the user's back.
