ABSTRACT:
An underwater apparatus for exercising muscles associated with a person's legs and feet which has an adjustable seat and a U-shaped configuration which allows it to be reoriented within a body of water for use in alternatively exercising muscles associated with a person's shoulders and upper extremities. Paddles are removably attached to a pair of spaced-apart wheels mounted laterally on one end of the U-shaped frame, while a vertically adjustable seat is connected to the other end of the U-shaped frame. A weight anchors the frame securely into a fixed position against the bottom of the body of water in which the apparatus is used. Paddles are each attached to the perimeter of one or both of the wheels by a casing so that each paddle extends radially beyond the perimeter of the wheel to which it is attached. Since the wheels operate independently from one another and the paddles are each changeable in orientation relative to the wheels, the wheels can offer the same or differing mounts of resistance during exercise. The U-shaped frame is also adjustable in length to accommodate operators of differing stature. Applications may include, but are not limited to, use by athletes for training purposes, as well as use by athletes and others for rehabilitative purposes.
