Abstract
Abstract An exercise device comprises a frame on which two side-by-side, horizontal tables are reciprocated 180* out of phase with each other, the tables, considered together, being wide enough and long enough for a person to lie thereon. Reciprocation is accomplished by a timed motor driving a double crank connected by pitmans to rocker arms pivoted on the frame and loosely engaging the tables which are supported on rollers on the frame.
