Abstract

The exercise apparatus (10) of the invention is comprised essentially of a substantially spherically shaped ball (12) having a diameter of at approximately eighteen to twenty four inches. A support structure (14) supports the ball so that it is rotatable in substantially any direction. The ball (12) is preferably positioned at least waist high to a person wishing to exercise using said ball. To exercise, the person places his or her hands on opposite sides of the ball and moves them back and forth as the ball rotates about a vertical axis. Alternatively, the person can move his or her hands up and down or in substantially any direction while rotating the ball. Using a variable resistance means (64), the amount of feree needed to rotate the ball can be adjusted so as to increase or decrease the workout. The ball (12) can be used alone or can be positioned in front of a stationary workout apparatus such as a treadmill (68) to be used simultaneously therewith.
