Abstract

An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position with a support member having a top end and a bottom end, the top end providing a location for grasping, the bottom end providing a base surface for force distribution and support. A preferred embodiment includes the support member which is adjustable in length such that the distance between the top end and the bottom end is adjustable. A preferred embodiment includes a way for fixedly securing the adjustable support member at desired lengths.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position comprising: 
 A support member having a top end and a bottom end, the top end providing a means for grasping, the bottom end providing a base member.    
   
   
       2 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said grasping means is removable from said support member.  
   
   
       3 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said base member is removable.  
   
   
       4 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said support member is adjustable in length such that the distance between the top end and the bottom end is adjustable.  
   
   
       5 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising means for rotatably coupling said base member with said support member.  
   
   
       6 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising means for rotatably coupling said top end with said grasping means.  
   
   
       7 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising means for pivotably and rotatably coupling said base member with said support member.  
   
   
       8 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 4  further comprising means for fixedly securing the said adjustable support member at desired lengths.  
   
   
       9 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 2  further comprising means for attaching resistance or assistance to said grasping means.  
   
   
       10 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 7  wherein said base member is curved in nature.  
   
   
       11 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising means for improving grip to said grasping means.  
   
   
       12 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 7  further comprising means for attaching said base member to the user.  
   
   
       13 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said base member is padded.  
   
   
       14 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 1  wherein said grasping means is a handle bar.  
   
   
       15 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position comprising: 
 A support member having two ends, the support member being adjustable in length such that the distance between ends one and two is adjustable;    a grasping means;    a means for length adjustment;    a base member.    
   
   
       16 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 15  wherein said grasping means is a handle bar.  
   
   
       17 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 15  further comprising a padded base member rotatably coupled with the end opposite the grasping means.  
   
   
       18 . An apparatus for stretching and strengthening muscles from a standing or seated position as claimed in  claim 15  further comprising a means for connecting resistance or assistance to said grasping means.
