ABSTRACT:
An exercising device for conditioning the dorsal flexor muscles includes a fixed frame having inclined foot rests mounted adjacent one end and an arm arrangement swingably attached to the fixed frame at an opposite end. The arm arrangement includes a lever arm pivotally connected to the fixed frame and with foot engaging bars extending transversely from the lever arm generally adjacent the foot rest. The user places his feet between the foot rest and the foot engagement bars and flexes the feet upwardly to reduce the tendency toward the strained muscle condition known as shin splints. Provision is made for extra weights to be attached to the arm arrangement.
