  • Patent number: 9192802
    Abstract: A wheeled exercise apparatus has at least two resistance bands. A first and second axle each have a wheel assembly rotatably connected at an opposite end thereof. The axles are connected at each of the opposite ends by at least one of the resistance bands so that the apparatus operates in a rolling extending and collapsing motion within an elastic region. A pedal assembly is axially connected to the second axle. The pedal/foot supporting assembly is capable of supporting and securing both feet of the person so that the person is capable of exerting stress when griping the first axle with the person's hands and pushing against the second axle with the person's feet while exercising in a substantially prone position.
