Abstract

An exercise device is configured for performing hip abduction and cable exercises. Abductor pads and footpads are coupled to bars which are rotatably coupled to a frame and a platform. During one exercise using the device, a person places their feet on foot plates, places their knees between the abductor pads, and optionally grasps handles for stability. The person then forces their legs outwards, causing the abductor pads to rotate with respect to the frame which remains stationary. As the user relaxes in a controlled manner, the abductor pads rotate back towards their original “resting” positions. In another exercise, a person stands on the platform, grasps one or more handles coupled to cables, and engages their muscles to raise the one or more handles upward or outward. Exercises may be made more challenging by engaging one or more weights from a weight stack.

Claims9

Dependent claims

An exercise device comprising:

a frame being stationary;
a first leg bar rotationally coupled to the frame and coupled to a source of resistance;
a second leg bar rotationally coupled to the frame and coupled to the source of resistance;
a first foot plate coupled to the first leg bar;
a second foot plate coupled to the second leg bar;
a first leg pad coupled to the first leg bar;
a second leg pad coupled to the second leg bar;
a platform coupled to the frame;
a first handle coupled to a first cable which is coupled to the source of resistance;
a second handle coupled to a second cable which is coupled to the source of resistance;
wherein the first leg bar and the second leg bar are configured so that the first leg pad and the second leg pad rotate apart from each other and back together during exercise;
and
wherein in a resting position of the exercise device, the first and second handles are adjacent to a ground surface upon which the stationary frame rests.
