Abstract

An exercise device may include at least one pedal pivotably mounted to a leg rest portion and having a neutral position relative to a pivot axis. The pedal may be configured to rotate about the neutral pivot axis in a first direction away from the neutral position and in a second direction away from the neutral position. The devise may further include a counteracting force member configured to exert a force on the pedal about the pivot axis opposite to the respective first and second directions of rotation. The device may be adjustable to at least a first and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the pedal may be disposed in the neutral position to receive a foot of a user in a sitting position. In the second configuration, the pedal may be disposed in the neutral position to receive a foot of a user in a supine position.
