Training apparatus for training of particularly the upper part of the body of a human user, the training apparatus being arranged to be placed on a surface, comprising: a support member with a length axis and an essentially plane support surface intended to carry the user during use of the training apparatus, wherein the support surface defines a plane and extends along the length axis from a first end to a second end, which support surface is arranged to be turned away from the surface during use of the training apparatus, two handles (23, 25) for application of forces from the hands of the user, which handles either are movable in relation to each other or are fixed in relation to each other, a first leg member constituted by a first leg with a first end and a second end, and a second leg with a first end and a second end, which are arranged with their first ends (9, 11) attached rotatably in the support member around a first axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface, and with their second ends arranged to be placed against the surface, and a second leg member constituted by a third leg with a first end and a second end, and a fourth leg with a first end and a second end, which are arranged with their first ends (13, 15) attached rotatably in the support member around a second axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface and with their second ends arranged to be placed against the surface, wherein the training apparatus is arranged so that the leg members are arranged to be rotated so that the distance between the support member and the surface increases when a force is applied on the handles (23, 25), characterized in that it comprises a first arm and a second arm, wherein the arms (19, 21) in a first end (20, 22) are rotatably attached to the support member around a third axis of rotation which is essentially parallel to the support surface and in the second end of which the handles (23, 25) are arranged, wherein the training apparatus is arranged so that the leg members are arranged to be rotated in the opposite direction in relation to each other so that the distance between the support member and the surface increases, when a force is applied to the handles (23, 25) so that the arms (19, 21) are rotated around the third axis of rotation, wherein the distance between the first end of the support member ind the third axis of rotation is less than a third of the length of the support member, preferably less than a fifth of the length of the support member and most preferred less than a tenth of the length of the support member. a support member with a length axis and an essentially plane support surface intended to carry the user during use of the training apparatus, wherein
