Abstract:

The leg conditioner comprises an elongated frame, a pair of foot braces which are mounted on the frame for movement toward and away from one another and a pair of handles arranged in spaced relationship between the foot braces on opposite sides of a line extending between the foot braces for a person to grip when performing a leg exercise. Springs or an elastic member are provided to yieldably resist movement of the foot braces away from one another. The leg conditioner permits a person to safely attain and maintain a full or nearly full leg split exercise position and also to safely execute a rocking motion during the exercise to relieve pressure. The efficiency of this type of exercise for leg conditioning is also enhanced by use of the device.
