Abstract: A game and exercising device has a longitudinal substantially rigid body having a pair of ends with a pair of spaced and opposed handles at each end of the body. The handles lie in substantially the same plane and are rigidly fixed with respect to each other and the body. In a method for the joint exercising of two people one person grasps a pair of spaced handles fixedly connected to a pair of opposed spaced handles and a second person grasps the opposed spaced handles and each person exerts a force on the connected handles in conjunction with or opposition to the force exerted by the other person. In a method of playing a game one person grasps a pair of spaced handles fixedly connected to a pair of opposed spaced handles and a second person facing the first person grasps the opposed spaced handles. Each person exerts a force on the connected handles in an attempt to force the other person to move.
