A User Lift Exercise Apparatus is provided which has a base frame member with a seat support member coupled thereon which moves in the upward and downward directions. The apparatus also has a user engagement member which pivotally mounts to the front of the base frame member. The back portion of the user engagement member is coupled to the seat support member. The user engages the front portion of the user engagement member with their thighs and pivots this front portion in the downward direction, which produces upward movement in the back portion and thus in the seat support member. The opposite movement is also true. This allows the user to perform exercise routines on the lower body muscles areas while in a relatively seated position. Handle members may also be part of the apparatus.

A Twisting Stepper Apparatus comprising a Frame Structure Member, a Foot Engagement Member, and an optional Resistance Member. The Frame Structure Member is comprised basically of a Base Frame Member and a Guide Platform Member. The Foot Engagement Member is pivotally mounted to the Base Frame Member and mainly comprises two Foot Support Members pivotally coupled together by a lever assembly such that they move in reciprocating upward and downward motions. The lever assembly is a dual lever assembly which keeps the Foot Support Member in a relatively horizontal positon while moving upward and downward. The Foot Support Members operatively engage the Guide Platform Member, with the upward and downward movements of the Foot Support Members create the twisting movement of the Foot Engagement Member, and vice versa. The optional Resistance Member provides resistance in the twisting motion of the Foot Engagement Member, and thus also in the upward and downward movements of the Foot Support Members.

A body roller apparatus is provided which enables therapy routines to be performed on various body muscle groups. A frame structure is part of the apparatus and includes a base frame with a generally horizontal user support member having an opening being mounted thereon. The upper end of a roller structure rotatably supports a spherical roller, while its lower end mounts to the base frame so that at least a portion of the spherical roller extends through the opening of the user support member. The user operates the apparatus by positioning themselves upon the user support member and engaging with their body the portion of the spherical roller which extends through the opening. The vertical position of the spherical roller may be adjusted, and the frame structure itself may be collapsible for storage.

A Moving Exercise Apparatus is provided which includes a frame structure member, an intermediate support member, a user support member, and a track guide member. The intermediate support member moves upon the frame structure member along a generally linear path of motion. The user support member moves upon the intermediate support member also along a generally linear path of motion, generally perpendicular to the movement of the intermediate support member upon the frame structure member. A track guide member is mounted upon the frame structure member at a location below the user support member. The user moves the user support member, which operatively engages the track guide member and follows a predetermined path of motion as designated by the track guide member. Different track guide members may be utilized to provide different paths of motion.

A Paint Edger Apparatus comprising mainly a Paint Protector Member and a Hand Engagement Member. The Paint Protector Member is basically composed of rigid structure having a center member with sides members mounted thereon which form a generally hollow rectangular-shaped structure. The side members are slanted downward and away from the center member. The center member also has opening members through which a Hand Engagement Member is coupled so that it may be moved towards and away from the center member. The Hand Engagement Member has a generally horizontal handle member which is positioned above the center member of the Paint Protector Member. Mounted on each end of the handle member are support members which extend downward through the opening members located on the center member of the Paint Protector Member. A spring member is also included as part of the Hand Engagement Member which provides resistance to the movement of the Hand Engagement Member in the downward direction. At the lower end of the support members are attachment members which are used to attach the Hand Engagement Member to a solid surface, such as plastic, glass, mirror, wood, drywall, etc.

A Leg Muscle Therapy Apparatus is provided which enables the user to easily and comfortably engage the various muscles of the leg, providing the leg muscles with a therapeutic message which helps to loosen and relieve sore or damages muscles. The apparatus may also be used to assist in the removal of cellulite from areas of the leg. The apparatus is basically comprised of a frame structure means, a user engagement means, a coupling means, and an optional resistance means. The frame structure means has at least two main support members coupled together in such a manner that the leg of the user may be placed within, with the main support members surrounding a significant portion of the leg. The main support members are adjustably coupled together by the coupling means such that they may alternatively move away and towards one another, as the various leg muscles of the user are being engaged by the user engagement means. The optional resistance means may be used to provide motion resistance.

A Numerical Configuration Apparatus comprises a frame structure means and a numeric display means. The frame structure means may be comprised mainly of a base frame member and a display securing member. Use display securing member is coupled to the base frame member so that it may be moved towards and away from the base frame member in a controlled manner. Use numeric display means has multiple component members which are pivotally mounted to the frame structure means, and secured in place by the display securing member. Each component has at least two sides, with one side having a different feature, such as color, to distinguish between the two sides. Preferably, the non-distinguishing side should have the same feature, such as color, of the display securing member. Some of the component members are mounted in a generally horizontal position upon the frame structure means, while others are mounted in a generally vertical position.
