A rebound-type exercise device is provided which allows an individual to perform a sit and bounce exercises that, among other things, stimulate the lymphatic circulation. The exercise device includes a support frame which supports a seat assembly by means of four springs. The support frame includes a pair of laterally spaced apart side support frames which are interconnected by a head tube. Each side support frame includes a generally horizontal ground-engaging base tube, a rearwardly disposed, generally vertical rear support tube extending upwardly from the base tube, and a generally L-shaped arm which interconnects a front portion of the base tube with the upper end of the rear support tube. The exercise device of the present invention may be advantageously utilized in an exercise methodology intended to stimulate lymphatic circulation, wherein an individual seated within the support frame on the seat assembly continuously moves upwardly and downwardly in vertical harmonic motion through a range of two to eight inches. Such bouncing-type motion utilizing the exercise device of the present invention allows an individual, in a seated position, to become more fit by improving his or her endurance, strength/toning and lymphatic circulation in a safe and secure manner.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention resides in a sit and bounce exercise device which advantageously permits an individual to enjoy the benefits of rebound-type exercising without being required to stand, and related exercise process for stimulating the lymphatic system of an individual.
The exercise device comprises, generally, a support frame including a pair of laterally spaced apart side support frames interconnected by a head tube, first spring means supported by the head tube, second spring means disposed forwardly of the first spring means and supported by at least one of the side support frames, and a seat assembly supported within the support frame by the first and second spring means.
In one preferred form of the invention, the head tube comprises an inverted U-shaped tube having ends thereof which are insertable into respective upper ends of the side support frames.
Each side support frame comprises a generally horizontal ground-engaging base tube, a rearwardly disposed, generally vertical rear support tube extending upwardly from the base tube and having an open upper end, and a generally L-shaped arm which interconnects a front portion of the base tube with the upper end of the rear support tube.
The ends of the head tube are inserted into the open upper ends of the rear support tubes.
Means are provided for securely attaching the head tube to the rear support tubes.
The attaching means comprises alignable apertures through each of the head and rear support tubes, a threaded nut interiorly fixed within each end of the head tube in alignment with its aperture, and a bolt insertable through the aligned apertures of the head and rear support tubes.
A padded head piece is attached to a central, generally horizontal portion of the head tube.
A generally U-shaped stabilizer has ends that are insertable into respective open rear ends of the base tubes.
Means are provided for securely attaching the stabilizer to the base tubes.
The attaching means comprises alignable apertures through each of the stabilizer and the base tubes, a threaded nut interiorly fixed within each base tube in alignment with its aperture, and a bolt insertable through the aligned apertures of the stabilizer and the base tubes
