Abstract
Abstract An exercising device is provided in which two platforms are pivotally mounted on a support frame for individual angular movement about respective pairs of transverse axes, and in which the two platforms are pivotally interconnected through a universal coupling joint so as to provide limited radial movement of the platforms, limited up and down movement, limited lateral and diagonal movement, and any combinations thereof, for more effective exercising and slimming of the person using the device, particularly at the waist area.
