Abstract:
Exercising apparatus is provided to enable a user to obtain twice the exercise per unit time offered by a conventional jump rope. At the same time, the apparatus of the invention provides the user with a construction as near to that of the conventional jump rope as possible. To this end, a universal connection is provided between handles held by the user and support members for a pair of hoop members over which the user jumps. The apparatus is adjustable so as to accommodate a range of sizes of users and graduated indicia is provided on the hoop members to enable a user to achieve a desired size. Also, as with a conventional jump rope, the exercising apparatus is width adjustable to the extent desired by the user. The apparatus is so constructed as to enable it to be readily assembled, then disassembled, as desired. In the disassembled condition, it occupies a minimum of space.
