ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to an apparatus for exercising. The exercise apparatus includes a first horizontal member having a free end and a second horizontal member also having a free end in spatial relationship to the first horizontal member. A freestanding platform supports the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member. The platform has a first vertical axis which extends through a first location where the first horizontal member is supported by the platform, and a second vertical axis extending through a second location where the second horizontal member is supported by the platform. The platform also defines an open region which extends between the first and second horizontal members. There is also a body of water having a bottom on which the platform is disposed such that at least a portion of the user is buoyantly supported during exercise. Preferably, there is also included structure for attaching the first horizontal member and the second horizontal member to the platform such that the first and second horizontal members are each able to be fixedly adjusted with respect to height, and the first and second horizontal members are each able to rotate about the first vertical axis and the second vertical axis, respectively. Preferably, a horizontal cross member is disposed anteriorly to the first and second members and essentially perpendicular thereto. The cross member is supported by the platform. The open region is disposed below the cross member.
