Exercising device

Abstract

An exercise device may include: a first element having a longitudinal center axis; a second element having a first end movably connected to the first element via a connection device; and a second, free, end; and a pre-tensioned force resistance device connected to the first or second elements. The exercising device may be configured to be in an initial state, in which the second end is provided with a first distance (Di) from the longitudinal center axis. The exercising device may be configured to be in a compressed state, in which the second end is provided with a second distance (Dc) from the longitudinal center axis, where the second distance (Dc) is shorter than the first distance (Di). The pre-tensioned force resistance device may be configured to force the second end of the second element towards the initial state.
