Abstract
A training and exercise device is provided to aid in proper positioning, technique, and muscle memory for different sports and exercise related activities. The training device includes a cylindrical barrel member. A sled or sleds are connected to the barrel member such that rotation and movement of the barrel member will in turn move the sled or sleds. The sleds are bi-directional such that they are able to move in both forward and rear directions, which will allow the training device to be used in multiple directions without having to reorient the entire device between exercises. The barrel device, sled or sleds may also be configured to adjust the weights thereof to increase or decrease the resistance of the movement of the training device to accommodate for different user's size, abilities, and intended outcome.
