Abstract
An articulated hand-held exerciser constituted by left and right-hand weighted clubs having replaceable handles which simulate the grip of a standard handled sports appliance such as a tennis racquet. The ends of the clubs are hinged together by a spring or other means so that the clubs, when held by a user, may be more or less angled and the exerciser is capable of executing both simple and complex motions. These bring into play and develop the muscles of the muscular system associated with the shoulders, arms and wrists of the user, the same muscles which are involved when using the sports appliance.
