ABSTRACT:
A toy and exercising device that utilizes a rounded body, such as a sphere, a pair of cord segments through said sphere on each side, and a pair of handles attached to the ends of the cord segments. The cord segments are spaced to allow twisting of the cord upon itself on each side of the device to cause the sphere to be rotated in a forward and reverse direction by pulling against the twisted cord with the handles. The exercising device can be adjusted to require variable force to successfully rotate the sphere in both directions by providing for variable spacing of the apertures that receive the cord on each side of the sphere. The device may also include a variable illuminating device inside the sphere that will illuminate above a certain predetermined rotational velocity. The device can also include variable audible sounds generated by surface elements disposed in or on the surface of the sphere. Alternatively, a whistle-like sound can be generated by a sound box and slot mounted at one end of the rotatable shaft. A rotatable shaft in the sphere allows the cord to be rolled up and stored inside the sphere when the device is not in use.
