ABSTRACT:
A lightweight exercise device comprising a pole of nearly uniform diameter throughout its length. At each end of the pole are knob handles to be manually gripped by the operator. One knob handle is fixed and the opposite end knob handle is rotatable continuously in either direction. The rotating handle can engage a friction assembly within the handle to resist motion while pulling or pushing on the handle. Between the handles and along the pole can be one or two sliding or twisting friction sleeve handles or no sleeve handles depending on the length of the pole and configuration of the exercise device desired by the operator. The sliding or twisting friction sleeve handle resistance can be changed by the operator gripping the sleeve handle with increasing or decreasing pressure by the operator's hands. This exerciser is adapted to assist the user to perform stretching, isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises and to combine them with various aerobic exercises. The operator can exercise various muscles of the body by performing an extremely wide variety of manipulations of the exercise device.
