Abstract
A flexural exercise device includes two oppositely-extending arm structures connected to one another by a resilient element, preferably in the form of a coil spring, disposed therebetween to which the inner ends of the arm structures are attached. The middle resilient member is covered by a padded neck roll. Each arm structure preferably comprises a tubular element extending away from the central resilient member and having an initial straight portion and a laterally bent handle portion at the end of the straight portion. The laterally bent handle portion provides a hand-gripping structure, and the transversely bent portions of each of the arm structures are bent so that the hand-gripping portions thereof are directed in directions generally toward one another so that a free end of each hand-gripping portion is disposed inwardly of an outermost extremity of the respective arm structure. The arm structures are preferably bent, steel tube construction and are preferably covered with a foam padding layer.
