Abstract

The mechanism comprises a handled (2) lever (1) emanating from a base plate (7): the attachment of the lever (1) to base (6a, 7) being effected by lodging a lever integral ball (3) in a spherical housing (4a, 5), the containing surfaces of which can bear on the ball with varying degrees of pressure, thus effecting variable resistance to rotation by the user. It is intended that the user effect transverse rotations thus concentrating the exercise ont he abdominal muscles. The ball (3) and socket (5) friction is varied via a sprung (8) screw jack mechanism and the base plate (7) can be floor fixed, platform fixed or free.
