A light weight exerciser or club adapted to assist the user to perform stretching, isometric, isotonic, and isokinetic exercises and to combine them with various the aerobic exercises of walking or jogging. The exercise club has the shape of an elongate cylindrical shaft terminated in coaxially mounted end knobs serving as hand grips and has a length corresponding to the width of the chest of the user. The end knobs are dimensioned to be gripped by the hand with the palm resting against their outer ends with the fingers curving around the edges of the knob. The knobs are rounded in peripheral dimension and continuous to an inner wall which continues smoothly to and joins with the shaft so that the finger tips can lie along and grip the inwardly facing walls of the knob. Means are provided for forming various hand, finger, and thumb gripping surfaces. When the exerciser is constructed of wood such means can comprise grooves formed in the parts by scoring together with scallops formed in the rounded peripheral portions of the end knobs. |
