Exercise/Training Machine

摘要

An exercise/training device (10), which is particularly suitable for providing a workout for surfers but which also can be used as a general exercise device includes a platform (14) on which a user may kneel, sit, lie, stand or the like in use. The platform (14) is mounted on a support frame (12), the support frame including legs for supporting the top of the frame above ground level. A rod (18) or other similar member is mounted on the support frame and extends away from the platform. At least one resistance means (20) such as a pulley or the like, and a handle (120) is provided on the rod, which can be grasped by a user and pulled against a resistance. The platform (14) is mounted on the support frame by means of a mounting (16) which allows the platform (14) to tilt, particularly laterally from side to side about an axis which is parallel or co-axial to the axis of the rod. The mounting (16) may also allow longitudinal tilting, although typically this will be more limited than the lateral tilting. The mounting (16) is preferably adjustable to allow the degree of instability of the platform (14) to be adjusted and controlled.
