Dual circling exercise method and device

Abstract

An exercise device and method using two generally opposing grips to guide a user's hands through generally circular movements for exercise of the human body.

1 . A method of exercise comprising: 
 placing a user between two generally opposing rotatable wheel elements, each wheel element connected to a base through a pivot;    grasping a grip connected to each wheel element; and,    using at least the users arms to rotate grips and the wheel elements at least partially around the pivots.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  the method further comprising applying a resistive force to at least one of the rotatable wheel elements.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  the method further comprising applying a weight to at least one of the rotatable wheel elements.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  the method further comprising applying a force selected from the group consisting of friction and frictionless forces to at least one of the rotatable wheel elements.  
     
     
         5 . A method of exercise comprising: 
 placing a user between two generally opposing rotatable guides, each guide connected to a support through a pivot;    grasping a grip connected to each rotatable guide; and,    using at least an arm to rotate the grip and guide at least partially around a pivot.    
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  the method further comprising applying at least a resistive force to at least one of the rotatable wheel elements.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 5  the method further comprising placing the user non-standing between the rotatable guides.  
     
     
         8 . An exercise device comprising: 
 two generally opposing supports and pivots;    a rotatable guide connected to each support at a pivot; and    a grip connected to each rotatable guide    
     
     
         9 . The exercise device of  claim 8  further comprising applying at least a resistive force to at least one of the rotatable guides.  
     
     
         10 . The exercise device of  claim 8  further comprising a seat.  
     
     
         11 . The exercise device of  claim 8  wherein the guides are wheels.  
     
     
         12 . The exercise device of  claim 8  wherein the guides are arms.  
     
     
         13 . The exercise device of  claim 8  wherein the resistive force is frictional.  
     
     
         14 . The exercise device of  claim 8  wherein the resistive force is non-frictional.  
     
     
         15 . The exercise device of  claim 13  further comprising at least one of a brake and a clutch; whereby the frictional force is applied to the guide.  
     
     
         16 . The exercise device of  claim 14  wherein the non-frictional force is magnetic.  
     
     
         17 . A method of exercise comprising: 
 placing a user hands on two generally opposing grips on guides rotatably connected to a support through a pivot, whereby the movement of each grip is in a generally circular pathway;    each circular pathway being generally in the same plane; and,    using at least the user's arms to move the users hands holding onto the grips at least partially around a pivot support.    
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  the method further comprising applying a resistive force to require greater effort to move the grips around the pivot.
