Orbiting exercise device and method

Abstract

An exercise device and method to strength muscles and develop Chi by moving guided handles along an orbital path. Weights may be added or weight may be adjusted. The handles are attached to an elongated member on one or more pivots attached by one or more rotating assemblies. Resistance may be added to increase the force required to move the stick member along a path.

1 . An exercise device comprising: 
 at least one handle affixed to a first rotating assembly;    an elongated member with at least a first and a second end;    a first pivot affixed between the first rotating assembly and the first end of the elongated member;    a second pivot affixed to the second end of the elongated member; and,    a second rotating assembly, mountable to a base, affixed to the second pivot.    
   
   
       2 . The exercise device of  claim 1  further comprising a base selected from the group consisting of floor base, door frame mount and door base.  
   
   
       3 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising a third pivot on the elongated member between the first and the second pivot.  
   
   
       4 . The device of  claim 1  wherein the elongated member is telescoping.  
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising one or more weights attached to the device.  
   
   
       6 . The device of  claim 1  further comprising a head fixed between the handles and first rotating assembly.  
   
   
       7 . The device of  claim 5  wherein at least a portion of the weights are adjustable on the device relative to at least one pivot.  
   
   
       8 . The device of  claim 1  wherein a frictional resistance is applied to the device.  
   
   
       9 . The device of  claim 1  wherein a frictionless resistance is applied to the device.  
   
   
       10 . An exercise device comprising: 
 an elongated member;    at least one handle movably affixed to the elongated member;    at least one pivot affixed to an end of the elongated member; and    a rotating assembly, mountable to a base, affixed to another end of the elongated member.    
   
   
       11 . The exercise device of  claim 10  further comprising a second pivot on the elongated member.  
   
   
       12 . The exercise device of  claim 10  wherein the elongated member is telescoping.  
   
   
       13 . The exercise device of  claim 10  further comprising one or more weights attached to the exercise device.  
   
   
       14 . The exercise device of  claim 10  further comprising a head fixed between the handles and the elongated member.  
   
   
       15 . The exercise device of  claim 10  wherein a resistance is applied to the device.  
   
   
       16 . An orbital exercice device comprising: 
 a base comprising; 
 a floor pad to rest on a floor;  
 a vertical member affixed to the floor pad and extending upward to which a guide body may be connected;  
   a guide body, affixed to vertical member base, comprising; 
 a head with at least one hand grip affixed to a first pivot;  
 an elongated member affixed at a first end to the first pivot;  
 a second pivot affixed to the second end of the elongated member; and  
 a second rotating assembly affixed to the second pivot and to the base;  
   
   
   
       17 . The orbital exercise device of  claim 16  wherein the elongated member is telescoping.  
   
   
       18 . The orbital exercise device of  claim 16  further comprising one or more weights attached to at least one of the head and the guide body.  
   
   
       19 . The orbital exercise device of  claim 16  wherein a resistance is applied to the guide body.
