Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to an apparatus particularly useful for exercising and toning the lower body which apparatus comprises an A-frame assembly defined by a pair of side members converging to an apex, the side members defining a pair of inclined planar surfaces. A foot rest is movably mounted on each inclined planar surface and means is provided to maintain each foot rest in reciprocal relationship to the other as they move along their respective inclined surface in response to the shift in weight of the person using the apparatus, as well as means to vary the resistance to movement of the footrests along said surfaces.

Independent Claim
98 words
Apparatus for exercising and toning the body comprising: an A-frame assembly defined by a pair of upwardly extending side members converging to an apex, thus defining a pair of mirror image inclined surfaces; a foot rest movably mounted on each inclined surface including tensioning means operable to vary the resistance to movement of each foot rest along its associated planar surface and means operable to maintain each foot rest in spaced reciprocal relationship to the other, as they move along their respective inclined surfaces in response to the shift in body weight of the person using the apparatus.
