Abstract: A method of exercise is disclosed which enables the user to exercise both the arms and the legs simultaneously. The method utilizes a device which includes a pair of arm braces having handles which can be gripped by the user. The arm braces have supports which rest on the ground. The length of the support is chosen such that the sum of the distance from the handle to the distal end of the support, plus the length of the arm of the user, is equal to the length of the user's leg, including the thigh. The arm braces, in effect, form extensions of the user's arms, and make the length of the arms equal to the length of the legs. With the aid of the device, the user can walk or run on all fours, without squatting or bending the knees appreciably, thereby exercising the arms and the legs at once.

Abstract: A sports training device adapted to improve the peripheral vision, footwork and upper body and head agility of a user is disclosed. The preferred embodiment of the device comprises a pair of angularly adjustable oscillating pendular members adapted to swing past the user's head so that he must bob and weave to avoid being struck by them. The device further comprises adjustment means to vary the vertical height and pendular and angular relationships so that the device may be easily adapted to the particular needs of a user. Pivot means adapted to set up varying pendular oscillatory motions, ranging from fairly simple to quite complex, depending on how a movement thrust is imparted to said pendular members are also provided.
