Abstract
An aerobic exercise device for performing lateral swinging or swaying motions is disclosed. The device has a base with an upright tubular steel frame and integral handles. A swing assembly or pendulum is pivotally suspended from an upper portion of the frame. The pendulum comprises a pair of vertical bars which are pivotally joined to a short horizontal bar at their lower ends. A pair of foot pad assemblies are pivotally mounted to the horizontal bar. Each foot pad has a shock absorber mounted between it and its adjacent vertical bar for creating resistance to the motion of the pendulum. The user grips the a handle with each hand and places one foot on each foot pad. By moving the legs and lower torso from side to side, the user can exercise by swaying or swinging the pendulum from side to side while the frame remains stationary.
