Abstract

A twister includes a base unit, a shaft, and a foot support. The shaft extends substantially perpendicularly from the base unit and defines a pivot axis. The foot support is movably mounted to the shaft above the base unit. The foot support may provide one of a single vertical movement, a single pivotal movement, and a combination of vertical and pivotal movement depending upon a user's exercise on the foot support.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates generally to exercise devices, and, more particularly, to a twister device capable of providing a combination of pivotal and vertical movements.BACKGROUND[0002]Various types of exercise devices exist to develop different parts of the body. One form of know exercise devices is a twister type device which utilizes a pivoted disk in the form a turntable. The users would step on the disk or turntable and twist at the hips to cause a pivotal movement of the disk or turntable.[0003]This type of twister devices can only provide a single form of movement, i.e. the pivotal movement. It would be desirable if some combination exercise device could be provided which incorporates the benefits of multiple forms of movements, e.g. pivotal as well as vertical movements.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION[0004]In one aspect, a twister generally includes a base unit, a foot support, a resilient assembly, and a biasing assembly. The foot support may be...
