<p>An exercising device for engaging and supporting portions of the body of a user. Said device has leg support (20) that are rotative about an axis approximately at the hip joint of a user. Weights (40) are connected by a flexible member (41) to the leg supports (20) in such a manner that movement of the supports by the leg of a user will cause the weights (40) to be raised or lowered. Such movements of the supports will develop the specific groups of abductor and adductor muscles. The method of exercising abductor or adductor muscles of the leg does include the steps of supporting the body while imposing a force resistance to movement of a leg support in at least one direction, either toward or away from the other leg. The method would also include varying the force resistance in a predetermined relationship to movement of the leg away from and toward the other leg.</p> |
