ABSTRACT:
The exerciser comprises an elongated frame which is supported parallel and close to a horizontal support surface. The frame includes a pair of spaced parallel longitudinal members, each of which is hollow and has an open slot in its top side. A pair of longitudinally spaced handles having depending legs at opposite ends thereof span the space between slots in the two longitudinal frame members. The legs of each of the handles extend through the open slots of the longitudinal members and are secured to a separate pair of slides which are slidably mounted in the hollow longitudinal members. Compression coil springs within the longitudinal members on opposite sides of the slides bias the handles to a neutral position where each handle is spaced on opposite sides of the longitudinal center of the frame by a distance approximately equal to one-half of the distance between the user's arms. The springs act as both shock absorbers and as a form of resistance to sliding motion of the handles which can be adjusted by the user. A chest pad is placed in the mid-section of the frame between the handles.
