ABSTRACT:
A rebound exerciser for use by an individual in performing a variety of exercises having a frame formed of two symmetrical sections, and a fexible, resilient mat secured to the frame by a plurality of coil springs. The two symmetrical sections are pivotally secured together by two diametrically opposed hinge assemblies which permit the sections to be pivoted to a first compact position wherein the sections are spaced-apart and superimposed to facilitate transportation and storage of the exerciser. The hinge assemblies further permit the sections to be pivoted to a second extended position wherein the sections are in substantially the same plane so that an individual can perform exercises utilizing the mat. The frame is supported above the surface onto which the exerciser is positioned by a plurality of leg members which are releasably secured to the frame. The exact location at which the plurality of coil springs which connect one side of the mat to one side of the frame is secured to the frame can be adjusted to adjust spring, and thus, mat tension to compensate for individuals of varying weights.
