Claim:
A traction exercise apparatus, comprising a rectangular shaped metal frame including a pair of metal vertical members on each of a right side and a left side thereof, a metal horizontal member having a planar surface on a bottom side thereof, and a pair of metal horizontal members on a top side thereof; a metal cross member proximate to each of a right edge and a left edge of the pair of metal horizontal members; a first rotating or fixed metal shaft and a second rotating or fixed metal shaft located across the pair of metal horizontal members and proximate to each of the metal cross member; a pair of ankle braces having a fabric covering; a plurality of fabric straps encircling the fabric covering; a pair of elongated fabric straps extending on an outer side of the fabric covering and having a proximal end sewn to the fabric covering and a distal end attached to a snap hook; a cable pulley supporting a first metal cable attached to the snap hook, the cable pulley being on each side of the first rotating or fixed metal shaft; a first cable reel supporting the first metal cable on each side of the second rotating metal shaft; and a second cable reel supporting a second metal cable attached to a hand grab bar, the second cable reel being on each side of the second rotating metal shaft; whereby the hand grab bar applies a tension to the second metal cable to cause the rotation of the second rotating metal shaft thereby transmitting the tension to the first metal cable to perform a plurality of different traction exercises.
