ABSTRACT:
A leg exerciser includes a base, two posts fixed on the base, a handle fixed on upper end portions of the posts, two swing arms respectively pivoted to the posts, and two resistance adjusting mechanisms. Each of the mechanisms includes two adjusting rods and two resilient band units. The two adjusting rods are mounted pivotally on one of the posts. Each of the adjusting rods is pivotable about a horizontal axis and is locked on a selected one of several angular positions on a corresponding one of the posts. One of the two adjusting rods extends forward from a corresponding one of the posts while the other one extends rearward from the corresponding one of the posts. Each of the adjusting rods has an inner end portion which is pivoted to a corresponding one of the posts, and an outer end portion which is provided with a lower band retainer. Each of the band units is retained on an upper band retainer of a corresponding one of the swing arms and one of the lower band retainers. The resistance adjusting mechanisms are adjustable so as to provide different resistances to forward and rearward movement of each of the swing arms.
