Abstract | 1. Field of the Invention
Foot and leg exercise apparatus includes a pair of pedals pivoting on a base element. At the front of the base is a vertical post and a tee element telescopes relative to the vertical post. The post and the element include aligned apertures for adjusting the height of the tee element relative to the post. A pin is inserted into the desired aligned apertures in the post and tee element at the desired height. Tension springs are secured to the tee element and to the pedals for moving the pedals upwardly. The user's feet are disposed on the pedals and the user's feet and legs are exercised by pivoting the pedals against the tension springs. By adjusting the height of the tee element, the force of the tension springs may be varied. Sets of tension springs of varying strength may be used progressively. For forced exercise, a motor and cams may be used to move the pedals downwardly against the upward biasing force of the tension springs. |
