Abstract
A leg stretching exercising device comprises a platform having an upwardly extending backrest at one end thereof, at least one handle opposite the backrest and extending outwardly from the platform. A bar including telescoping inner and outer end portions extends outwardly from the platform at each end substantially in alignment with the backrest and perpendicular to the handle. The telescoping members are longitudinally adjustable and include means for fixing the length of said members. A pulley member is connected to the end of each inner telescoping member and includes a rope-like member having a stirrup at one end for locking one's foot and a handle at the other end. In operation, an individual adjusts the telescoping members to the proper length and sits on the platform against the backrest gripping the pulley handles which are pulled together stretching one's legs which are placed in the stirrups. The handle is gripped if an individual is stretching only one leg with the pulley.
