Abstract

A portable exercise device includes a body has two shafts respectively longitudinally extending therefrom and co-axially aligning with each other. Two rotors and two torsion springs are respectively pivotally sleeved on the two shafts of the body to make the two rotors reciprocally rotate relative to the two shafts. A wrench device and a stretch device respectively securely receive the two rotors for providing two exercise ways to the user.

       4 . The portable exercise device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the through hole in the second rotor includes an enlarged section formed on one end of the through hole in the second rotor opposite to the body and the through hole in the engager includes an enlarged section formed to co-axially correspond to the enlarged section of the through hole in the second rotor so that the spring is compressively received in the enlarged section of the through hole in the second rotor and the enlarged section of the through hole in the engager. 
   
   
       5 . The portable exercise device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the through hole in the second rotor includes an enlarged section formed on one end of the through hole in the second rotor opposite to the body and the through hole in the engager includes an enlarged section formed to co-axially correspond to the enlarged section of the through hole in the second rotor so that the spring is compressively received in the enlarged section of the through hole in the second rotor and the enlarged section of the through hole in the engager. 
   
   
       6 . The portable exercise device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the engager is integrally formed with the closed end of the hollow seat of the stretch device. 
   
   
       7 . The portable exercise device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first rotor is integrally formed with the hollow seat of the wrench device. 
   
   
       8 . The portable exercise device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the second rotor is integrally formed with hollow seat of the stretch device.
