Abstract
A device allows an individual the ability to easily adjust the resistance to perform pushing and pulling exercises in multiple directions. The device allows the individual the ability to exercise at variable levels of intensity with a simple adjustment. The amount of ballast weight may be adjusted to offer additional levels of rolling resistance. The device may be set to operate either in a straight line, or in multiple directions. The device may use pneumatic tires, in a three-wheel design, which permit the device to be used on multiple surfaces and allows for ease of maneuverability during use. Unlike current systems, which do not allow for pushing or pulling at varied heights, the device has a handle bar that may change its height with a simple adjustable locking mechanism that incorporates a counterbalance system to allow for ease of movement of a force arm.
