Abstract
An exercise device accommodating leg thrust exercises is shown and described. The device provides a flat, nominally planar base or frame on which are mounted two slide members riding in parallel, linear tracks. Each slide is coupled to the frame by an elastic tether. A hand grip bar spans right and left sides of the frame at one end thereof. In use, a person grasps the hand grip bar, and places each foot on one of the slide members. The user then pushes with either one leg or alternatively, with both legs, against the resistance of the elastic tether.
Claims19
An exercise device comprising a frame, two slide members each constrained to slide along the frame, a resistance element yieldingly opposing sliding motion of each one of the two slide members along the frame independently of sliding motion of another said slide member, and a hand grip at one end of the frame and coupled to the frame, the hand grip configured and dimensioned to enable a user to grasp the hand grip with two hands while engaging each said slide member with one foot on each one of the slide members, whereby pushing with one leg and an associated foot on each said slide member urges that slide member away from the hand grip against resistance of the resistance element.
The exercise bar of 3, wherein the bar includes a first stanchion coupling the bar to the frame at one end of the bar, a second stanchion coupling the bar to the frame at an opposed end of the bar, and a third stanchion coupling the bar to the frame between the first stanchion and the second stanchion.
