Exercise systems for use with tools having weighted masses that are swung to make holes in roofs, walls and doors

An exercise system for use with tools having weighted masses comprising:

• a housing having an upper end and a lower end, wherein the upper end of said housing defines a central region and first and second lateral regions that bound opposite sides of the central region;
• a strike post projecting from the central region of the upper end of said housing, said strike post having an upper end with a top surface that is located above the upper end of said housing and a lower end with a bottom surface that is located between the upper and lower ends of said housing, wherein said strike post is configured to move along a vertical axis that extends between the upper and lower ends of said housing;
• a central shock absorbing pad overlying the top surface of said strike post;
• a first lateral shock absorbing pad overlying the first lateral region of the upper end of said housing;
• a second lateral shock absorbing pad overlying the second lateral region of the upper end of said housing;
• a spring assembly disposed between the bottom surface of said strike post and the lower end of said housing, wherein during a physical exercise session an impact force applied to said central shock absorbing pad is transferred through said strike post to said spring assembly for compressing said spring assembly.
