ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes adjustable weights which may be raised by rotational movement of a wheel about a vertical axis. Handles are mounted on a common, rigid horizontal cross bar to cradle the user's shoulders, arms and hands therein. By remaining upright and positioning his body within the handles, the user can exercise against the weight resistance by twisting motions of his torso. The handles are gripped and rotated simultaneously by a user's hands. This rotation, in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction, will cause the wheel, which is rotatable about a vertical axis, to raise and lower weights.
