Abstract:
An exercise apparatus provides support and coordination of exercise motions to the user. The exercise apparatus has two exercise bars, two short exercise bars, a stabilizing bar, and a device for coupling the two exercise bars or the two short exercise bars at one end. The exercise bars have removable hand grips for helping the user maintain a grip on the exercise bar, wrist straps to provide for a level of safety when exercising with others when the grip is lost on the exercise bar, and a shoe that mounts on the stabilizing bar. One or both of the exercise bars may include lights mounted along the length of the bar. The lights provide an apparatus to help the instructor and user determine the position of the bar in space and also provide aesthetic appeal. The stabilizing bar attaches securely to the floor, and includes recesses for mounting the exercise bar. The stabilizing bar attaches to the floor and provides a stable point of reference.
