ABSTRACT:
A leg exerciser for simultaneously exercising the muscle groups of the inner thighs by a cortrolled compression and controlled decompression action of the leg exerciser. The leg exerciser includes an integral helical formed bias means positioned in the center of two diverging members, each distal end of which includes a pad attached thereto for comfortable engagement against the inside surface of the user's knees. The user repeatedly exerts a positive compression force against the pads to decrease the distance between the diverging members and then to decrease the force to provide controlled decompression returning the diverging members to their free state in relation to the helix bias means. The leg exerciser is usable by exerting knee-closing pressure on the pads to exercise the sartorius, gracilis, great adductor of the thigh, long adductor of the thigh, and semimembranosus muscles of the inner thigh.
