An exercise assembly designed to exercise the upper body including the arms, shoulders, upper back and muscles associated therewith. The exercise assembly is thereby particularly, but not exclusively, adapted for use by an injured person or invalid having limited use of the legs and/or lower torso. A track assembly includes two track segments disposed in a convergent configuration and at least partially defining an open end dimensioned to receive a user, when in a seated, substantially upright position, at least partially therebetween. The user accesses two hand grips each linearly and reciprocally along the separate track segments. A resistance assembly includes a line interconnecting the hand grips and an adjustable resistance mechanism engaging the line so as to apply a movement restricting force thereto. An adjustable resistance is thereby applied to the linear, push/pull movement of the hand grips, as applied by the user.

Exercise assembly for the upper body

An aquatic lifting device to lift a person into and out of a swimming pool or similar location, the lifting device includes a base with a mast segment coupled to and extending upwardly from the base. A pair of spaced apart support arms are pivotally coupled to the mast segment, with a transport assembly structured to support a person during pivotal movement of the support arms, secured at a first end of the support arms. A pivot assembly is provided and is structured to pivotally move the support arm relative to the mast segment so as to correspondingly raise and lower the transport assembly and the person supportably disposed thereon, and a plurality of casters are secured to the base so as to facilitate movement and re-positioning of the entire assembly. So as to maintain the base securely and stably positioned on an underlying support surface during pivotal movement of the support arm, whether a person is being lifted or not and thereby permitting independent, completely portable positioning of the base at any desired position on the underlying support surface, a counterweight assembly is further coupled to the base.
