ABSTRACT:
An upper-extremity foreleg-emulating exerciser comprising an elongate strut with a handle affixed on its exterior housing and containing a reciprocative compression-expansion mechanism coupled to an armpit-engaging crosspiece. The crosspiece is fitted into the armpit of the user who must then grasp the handle and repeatedly pull the strut toward the armpit and relax it so as to gain the benefit of compressing and releasing the mechanism, to adequately exercise the upper extremity and upper torso of his or her body. Contemporaneous use of a pair of this invention allows the user to perform a plurality of exercises emulating the gait of a four-legged animal and thus, in conjunction with normal walking or rapid pacing, exercise the upper, lower and back portions of his or her body. Alternative in-place exercises may be used to develop pectoral and abdominal muscles as well.
