Abstract

Abstract A pair of dollies supported for rolling movement along one or two guideways permits a person to stand with a foot on each dolly and laterally separate the dollies in exercising the leg muscles. Each dolly carries a tread portion pivotally movable to positions disposed at an angle to the direction of separation of the dollies. A method of exercising the leg muscles while in a standing position with a foot on each dolly includes the steps of laterally spreading the two feet apart to permit the torso to settle toward the ground followed by laterally drawing the feet together to raise the weight of the lowered torso toward its initial position.
