Twisting exerciser

Twisting exerciser description/claims

The present invention relates to a twisting exerciser with two separate pivot assemblies which are connected to the handlebar unit and the knee support unit respectively.

A conventional twisting exerciser generally includes a base with four legs and a pivot assembly is connected on the base. The handlebar and the knee support unit are connected to the pivot assembly. The user puts his or her knees on the knee support unit and holds the handlebar, and twist his or her body to swing the handlebar in one direction and the legs in an opposite direction. A resistance is generated in the pivot assembly and the user has to overcome the resistance to twist his or her body. However, the single pivot assembly has to bear all the load of the user's body and cannot have a longer term of use. Besides, the twisting exerciser occupies a lot of space which is precious for most of the users.

The present invention intends to provide a twisting exerciser which includes two pivot assemblies for connecting the handlebar unit and the knee support unit respectively. The legs and the hands can be pivoted when not in use so as to save the space for storage.

The present invention relates to a twisting exerciser which comprises a base having two first legs and two second legs. A first pivot assembly and a second pivot assembly are respectively connected to the base. Each of the first and second pivot assemblies has a pivot and a sleeve which is rotatably connected to the pivot. A first extension is connected to the sleeve on the first pivot assembly and is connected to a handlebar unit. A second extension is connected to the sleeve on the second pivot assembly and is connected to a knee support unit.

The present invention will become more obvious from the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which show, for purposes of illustration only, a preferred embodiment in accordance with the present invention.
