ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to an exercising apparatus which is adapted, in use, to provide relief from backaches and to maintain general physical fitness. The apparatus includes a pair of rests on which a person using the apparatus would support himself by his armpits. The rests are retained above a floor level in a spaced parallel arrangement, and they are either suspended from the ceiling by suspension members. The rests are constrained from movement in a longitudinal direction whereas means are provided for permitting the lateral movement of the rests. Disposed on each of the rests for carrying a part of the weight of a person using the apparatus are either hand grip or elbow support members. In use, a person using the apparatus mounts the apparatus in such a manner that his armpits are disposed over the rests. As the rests are movable in the lateral direction, the spacing between the rests can be adjusted to accommodate persons of different girth. The person then either grasps the hand grips or places his elbow and lower arm in the elbow support so that the weight of the person is supported both by the rests and the hand grips or elbow supports.
