Patent ID: 7662067

Claim:
An exercise apparatus comprising two spaced apart uprights joined to a cross bar provided with a limb support means, the upright being of such a length that the cross bar is spaced from the floor sufficiently such that, in use, the limb support means supports the legs of the user when the user is positioned beneath the cross bar, the cross bar also being sufficiently spaced from the floor such that, in use, the limb support means comprises a hand grip means to enable a user to push down on the exercise apparatus so that the exercise apparatus supports at least some of the user's weight, the limb support means comprising a concave limb support formed centrally on the cross bar, each of said uprights comprising a base portion which rests, in a first condition, in use, on the floor such that said concave limb support is concave in a generally vertical plane and in a direction generally perpendicular to said base portion, and an arm portion extending away from the base portion and the floor at an oblique angle, the cross bar being joined to the arm portion at a position of the arm portion distal from the base portion, an orientation of the arm portion relative to the base portion being such that the exercise apparatus can be used in a second condition wherein the exercise apparatus has been rotated though approximately 90° so that the cross bar is adjacent, in use in the second condition, the floor.
