Abstract
A portable device includes a coil spring and pedal structure that aids travelers on long trips and individuals with impaired muscle tone and/or blood and fluid circulation issues to minimize the possibility of blood clot formation through exercise. The device includes an elongated platform with two wells to receive coiled springs that are secured to both a pedal structure and the platform. The pedals, coiled springs and platform are configured to permit a range of motions so that travelers or impaired individuals can engage in exercise regimens that enhance blood flow by selectively exerting pressure on the pedals that compress the coil spring.
