Abstract

An apparatus for performing exercises to improve balance including an exercise platform on one end of a helical spring supported on a base platform. In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of legs extend perpendicularly from the base platform which function as stops to preventing tilt of the exercise platform from exceeding a maximum tilt. The bottom end of each leg is mounted on a plate lying flush on the base platform that can be oriented so that the leg is positioned at a location corresponding to the required maximum tilt. A vertical rod is supported at a location spaced from the exercise plaform selected by the user depending on his exercise. Various devices such as a punching bag of tethered ball is attached to the vertical rod for incorporation into the users exercise regimen.
