Abstract:
A lower leg exerciser comprising:a hollow base; a rotary disk received within said hollow base; drive means for rotating said rotary disk about a central axis, said drive means being positioned within said hollow base; a guide track mounted within said hollow base; a slidable member slidably received and captured by said guide track; a rigid linking member having a first end and a second end, said slidable member being pivotally mounted on said first end, said second end being pivotally affixed to said rotary disk; a lower leg supporting frame fixedly secured to a central portion of said rigid linking member whereby rotation of said rotary disk about said central axis will cause said lower leg supporting frame to move along a substantially lemniscate-like path for exercising both of a user's lower legs, said lower legs being received by said lower leg supporting frame, said substantially lemniscate-like path providing a smooth and symmetrical closed path for reducing trauma to said user's lower legs.
