An exercise apparatus (1) comprises at least one upright (3) joined to a cross bar (5) provided with a limb support means (17, 18, 19). The upright (3) is of such a length that the cross bar (5) is spaced from the floor sufficiently such that, in use, the limb support means (17, 18, 19) comprises a leg support means to be positioned beneath, and to support, the legs of the user when the user is positioned beneath the cross bar (5). The cross bar (5) also being sufficiently spaced from the floor such that, in use, the limb support means (17, 18, 19) comprises a handgrip means to enable a user to push down on the exercise apparatus so that the exercise apparatus (1) supports at least some of the user's weight. The limb support means (17, 18, 19) comprises two limb supports (17, 19) that are relatively spaced along the longitudinal axis of the cross bar (5). The cross bar (5) is provided with a third limb support (18) in between the two limb supports (17, 19).
An exercise apparatus comprising at least one upright joined to a cross bar provided with a limb support means, the upright being of such a length that the cross bar is spaced from the floor sufficiently such that, in use, the limb support means comprises a leg support means to be positioned beneath, and to support, the legs of the user when the user is positioned beneath the cross bar, the cross bar also being sufficiently spaced from the floor such that, in use, the limb support means comprises a hand grip means to enable a user to push down on the exercise apparatus so that the exercise apparatus supports at least some of the user's weight, the limb support means comprising a concave limb support positioned centrally on the cross bar, the exercise apparatus further comprising at least one upright comprising a base portion which rests, in a first condition, in use, on the floor, and an arm portion extending away from the base portion and the floor, the cross bar being joined to the arm portion at a position distal from the base portion, the orientation of the arm portion relative to the base portion being such that the exercise apparatus can be used in a second condition wherein the exercise apparatus has been rotated through approximately 90° so that the cross bar is adjacent, in use in the second condition, the floor.
