ABSTRACT:
An adjustable, elevated platform structure having a T-shaped planform. The upright of the T is a rail (10) on which is mounted a sled (58) carrying an elevated, oblong forward platform (54). The crossbar (12) of the T sports two vertical supports (14) which hold up the ends of an oblong, vertically oriented rear platform (24). A cushioned instep support (42, 44) is mounted across the forward facing side of the rear platform. The forward platform can be moved back and forth along the rail, the rear platform can be moved up and down on the vertical supports, and the cushioned instep support can be moved closer to or further away from the forward facing side of the rear platform. The user places his leading foot (74) on the forward platform and inserts the toe of his trailing foot (76) between the rear platform and the cushioned instep support. Keeping all his weight evenly distributed over the leading foot, the user squats down as far as he can go on his leading leg (70), then pushed himself back up with the leading leg.
