Abstract:
1. An exercising device comprising: a disc shaped member capable of rotating about a point of rotation, the disc shaped member having a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface; an elongated supporting member facing the second surface of the disc shaped member, the elongated supporting member connected to the point of rotation of the disc shaped member; a braking mechanism carried by the elongated supporting member, the braking mechanism capable of contacting the disc shaped member to apply a resistance to the rotation of the disc shaped member; and a foot engaging member connected to the first surface of the disc shaped member, the foot engaging member adapted to be operated by feet of an individual, wherein the operation of the foot engaging member rotates the disc shaped member about the point of rotation, and an extendable mounting member adapted to associate the elongated supporting member to a pair of spaced apart members, the extendable mounting member comprising a body member having a first end portion, and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion, a first threaded member threadably attached to the first end portion of the body member, the first threaded member comprising a slotted member at a free end portion thereof, the slotted member adapted to receive a first end portion of the elongated supporting member, and a second threaded member threadably attached to the second end portion of the body member, the second threaded member comprising a slotted member at a free end portion thereof, the slotted member of said second threaded member adapted to receive a second end portion of the elongated supporting member, wherein the receiving of the first end portion of the elongated supporting member and the second end portion of the elongated supporting member mounts the elongated supporting member on the extendable mounting member, and wherein a rotation of the body member extends each of the first threaded member and the second threaded member out of the body member for snugly attaching the first threaded member and the second threaded member to the pair of spaced apart members, wherein the operation of the foot engaging member by the individual against the resistance to the rotation applied by the braking mechanism exercises the individual.
