Abstract: The invention provides an exercise device for independently exercising both the thigh and calf muscles of at least one leg of a user, including a base provided with a pair of spaced-apart, upwardly-extending sides, a plate-like member having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front end, a back end and two sides, at least one pivot element pivotally interconnecting the plate-like member and the upwardly-extending sides with a major axis of the plate-like member perpendicular to the axis of the pivot element, the at least one pivot element supporting the plate-like member in proximity to the midpoint of the major axis, and at least two energy-absorbing elements respectively attaching the front end and the back end of the plate- like member to adjacent surfaces of the base, the arrangement being such that the plate-like member can be pivotally oscillated relative to the base when a moment is applied thereto against the resistance of at least one of the energy-absorbing elements.
