Abstract: An exerciser particularly adapted for the groin muscles or the chest muscles has a stand adjustable in height. A crossbar at the top of the stand carries two pivoted arms having pivoted pads on one end and one or more springs on the other. To exercise the groin, an athlete is seated before the device, places his feet on the base of the stand and his knees against the pads to compress them against the tension of the springs. To exercise chest muscles, the stand is placed upon a table and the arms at about the elbows are placed upon the pads and they are pushed inward against the springs.
