Patent ID: 7867152

Claim:
An exercise device comprising: a) a base; b) a first unit mounted on the base, the first unit including a first portion telescopingly accommodated in a second portion to move into and out of the second portion, a pad fixed on a distal end of the first portion, a rigid elongate support arm connecting the second portion to the base, the first unit being adapted to move between a stored condition with the distal end located closely adjacent to the base and a use condition having the distal end spaced apart from the base; c) two identical handle units, each handle unit including a first section telescopingly accommodated in a second section to move into and out of the second section, a hand-grip connection element on a distal end of the first section, each handle unit being adapted to move between a stored condition with the distal end thereof located closely adjacent to the base and a use condition having the distal end thereof spaced apart from the base; d) each handle unit including a hydraulic system for controlling movement of the first section with respect to the second section; e) a swivel joint connecting a proximal end of each handle unit to the base, whereby each handle unit can move rotationally with respect to the base while the first section of each handle unit can move linearly with respect to the base.
