Abstract:
1. A twisting and leaping exercise apparatus, comprising: a base; at least one fixed seat, installed onto the base; two sets of upper and lower swinging arms, each having an end pivotally installed to the fixed seat and an opposite end coupled to one of two pedal sets wherein the respective ends of the two sets of upper and lower swinging arms are pivotally installed at different positions on the fixed seat and the two pedal sets are installed at the opposite ends of the upper and lower swinging arms, respectively; two connecting plates, each having a planar portion substantially parallel to a floor, and a pivot portion, and each of the pedal sets being installed on the planar portion by a shaft module, and pivotally installed at the opposite end of the upper and lower swinging arms by the pivot portion; a shaft being installed between each pedal set and respective connecting plate, such that the pedal set can be rotated on the connecting plate about the shaft module as an axial center wherein the respective planar portions of the connecting plates each further include a position-limit stopper having a protruding surface for limiting a rotating angle of the pedal set; two elastic modules, each being mounted between the base and the respective connecting plate, and installed below the pedal sets, for providing a biasing force against an upward or a downward movement of the pedal set.
