Abstract:
A shoulder mounted walking exerciser with padded shoulder hooks compliantly rest on the user's shoulders and a belt around the waist secures the device to the user. The shoulder hooks attach to a frame that extends to below the waist and two handles attach to rotatable axles located shoulder high on the aforementioned frame. The handles extend vertically upward from the frame, and then upwardly forward, and downwardly forward, over the user's shoulders, ending at shoulder height, providing a grip for the user to interact with the device. The handles have an optional rubber grip for user comfort. For ease of handling and storing the device, the handles have a pivotal connection and rotate to a stowed position. A spring connected to the aforementioned frame produces a resistance to handle movement that the user must overcome.
