An exercise machine for low impact exercise of a person. The machine has a base and a support post extending from the rearward end of the base. Two leg members divergently extend generally downward from a first forward facing pivot point for pivoting about a first axis perpendicular to the support post. A planar foot support is on each leg member and extends forward from the support post. Two arm members divergently extend generally upward from a second forward facing pivot for pivoting about a second axis parallel to the first axis. A handle is on each arm member. The arm members are pivotally joined to the leg members and the second axis slides vertically in engagement with the support post.

Variable controlled traction exercise apparatus for exercising a lumbar region of a user in a controlled manner using a variable amount of the body weight of the user to provide traction includes a frame, a handle, strap or harness, etc., for maintaining at least a portion of an upper body or appendage of the user at a generally fixed position relative to the frame, and a pivotal seat assembly which includes a knee/shin support and a foothold attached to the pivot axle. The seat assembly pivots to move between a raised, forward position to a rearward, lowered position. The user sits on the seat and engages the handle, strap or harness and applies a variable traction to the lumbar region by controlling the pivotal movement of the seat assembly relative to the handle, strap or harness.

Variable controlled traction exercise apparatus

Spinal exercising apparatus, also referred to as a spinal exercising table, is arranged to support a person, while he or she applies forces, via his or her head, as his or her body is actively supported on an angularly adjustable table, movably positioned and then selectively secured on a frame to then be above floor level. Pivotally secured to the frame adjacent an end of the table is a resistive force mechanism to receive his or her head applied forces and to then provide a substantially uniform opposing force throughout a selected range of arcuate exercising motions, which result in a person being able to completely and thoroughly exercise his or her entire spine. Optionally, other apparatus is secured to the frame and/or table to serve the person in performing other exercises, to accomplish, if desired, a total body workout.
