Abstract:
1. A training device for a user in a sitting position comprising: a first stretchable cord attached to a fixed point; a first longitudinal rigid member having ends attached to the stretchable cord, wherein the first rigid member includes a PVC pipe; a second stretchable cord attached to the first longitudinal member; and a second longitudinal rigid member having ends attached to the second stretchable member, wherein the user grabs ends of the second longitudinal member so that alternatingly pulling end portions of the second longitudinal member stretches and compresses the first and second cords to simulate a rowing action, wherein the first longitudinal member provides a stable tension on the cord running between the first and second longitudinal member to simulate the resistance of water against a paddle, the resistance being overcome by the tension of the muscular action of the exerciser.
