Abstract: In general, various embodiments of hand-held exercise devices that can be used to perform different types of exercises that focus on different muscular groups of the body are disclosed. Specifically, the hand-held exercise devices disclosed herein can be used to perform arm exercises as well as abdominal and core muscle exercises. The hand-held exercise devices can include a first handle and a second handle, which rotate about a central axis relative to one another. The hand-held exercise devices can also include a wheel, which may also rotate about the central axis. Resistance can be applied to the relative rotation of the handles and, optionally, to the rotation of the wheel. The resistance can be selectively varied by a user.

Abstract: An exercise device having a selectively adjustable footpad is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention describes a footpad whose angular orientation is adjustable by a cam having at least two support sides. The cam can be positioned between the footpad and a link arm. The cam can be rotatable about an axis with each support side being a different distance from the axis. The angle of the footpad can be adjusted by selectively rotating the cam so that the footpad is resting on different support sides of the cam.
