ABSTRACT:
A precessional exercising device utilizing a housing containing a spinning mass which forms the rotor of a motor for spinning the mass. The spin axis of the mass is perpendicular to upper and lower flat housing surfaces adapted to be held in the palm of the hand. Alternatively, the housing may be coupled to a remote handle by a linkage permitting rotation of the handle about two mutually orthogonal axes. Also, the housing containing the spinning mass may be coupled to a remote foot plate for similar rotation of the housing by movement of the foot. The housing containing the spinning mass may be affixed to a hinged deck upon which the upper part of the body may be secured for bending and twisting exercises. Exercise of the muscles is achieved by making arcuate exercising movement which rotate the spin axis of the spinning mass within the housing, and by resisting the precession torque generated as a result of rotation of the spin axis of the spinning mass.
