ABSTRACT:
A portable exercise device for use by a human which includes a helical spring and first and second spaced apart arms adapted for engagement by the human. The arms have proximal and distal portions, the spring biasing the arms toward a first position and permitting them to pivot thereabout to a second position when so urged by the human. The arm proximal portions are joined to the spring so that when the arms are in the first position the proximal portions extend from the spring in the same general direction and are generally parallel to each other and when the arms are in the second position the proximal portions are angled apart from the spring. The exercise device further includes padding mounted on the distal portions for cushioning the human during use of the device. When the device is used as an abduction exercise device, the arm distal portions curve toward each other and each have a generally looped configuration. The arm distal portions can be removed to permit conversion of the device from an abduction exercise device to an adduction exercise device.
