Apparatus for aerobic leg exercise of a seated user

Abstract

An apparatus for aerobic leg exercise of a seated user includes a first unit having means for supporting a first linear track on a floor, means for joining a first unit to the first linear track for non-resistive movement and means for enabling the seated user with a multi-positional contact for moving the first unit along the first linear track without substantial vertical movement of the seated user's knee. A second unit has means for supporting a second linear track on the floor, means for joining a second unit to the second linear track for non-resistive movement and means for enabling the seated user with a multi-positional contact for moving the second unit along the second linear track without substantial vertical movement of the seated user's knee. A means secures the first unit and the second unit at a desired splay angle and a means stabilizes the apparatus.

1 . An apparatus for aerobic leg exercise of a seated user, the apparatus comprising:
 a first exercise_unit comprising:   means for supporting a first linear track on a floor;   means for joining a first unit to said first linear track for non-resistive movement along a first line of said first linear track; and   means for enabling the seated user with a multi-positional contact for moving said first unit along said first linear track without substantial vertical movement of the seated user's knee;   a second exercise unit comprising:   means for supporting a second linear track on the floor;   means for joining a second unit to said second linear track for non-resistive movement along a second line of said second linear track where said first line and said second line intersect; and   means for enabling the seated user with a multi-positional contact for moving said second unit along said second linear track without substantial vertical movement of the seated user's knee.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a second unit comprising:
 means for supporting a second linear track on the floor;   means for joining a second unit to said second linear track for non-resistive movement; and   means for enabling the seated user with a multi-positional contact for moving said second unit along said second linear track without substantial vertical movement of the seated user's knee.   
     
     
         3 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising means for contacting the floor surface. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising means for adjustably securing said first exercise unit and said second exercise unit at a desired splay angle. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 4 , further comprising means for stabilizing said first exercise unit and said second exercise unit. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , further comprising means for massaging and stimulation of a foot of the seated user. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus as recited in  claim 2 , wherein dimensions of the apparatus are suitable for placing in an opening under a desk.
