ABSTRACT:
A combined amusement and exercising device of the skipping or jumping type is described. A base unit is worn by the user at approximately the waist level. A large, rigid hoop is threadibly engaged with a portion of the base unit whereby the loop may be passed about the body of the user in a manner similar to skipping or jumping rope. Inertial momentum conveyed to the hoop during the skipping or jumping maintains motion of the hoop about the user's body. In some embodiments the hoop is separable from the base unit whereby the hoop may be employed for other exercising or amusement uses. The hoop is preferably circular; however, other shapes may be used.
