Abstract
A leg exercise apparatus and method is provided in which the exercise apparatus can include an elongated base, at least one foot mount slidably coupled to the elongated base, and a biasing member attached to the foot mount and the elongated base and adapted to resist sliding movement of the foot mount relative to the elongated base. The leg exercise apparatus can also include two foot mount guides and substantially parallel foot mount guides, in which the foot mounts can be slidably mounted in the foot mount guides. The leg exercise apparatus can also include a plurality of support structures. Additionally, the leg exercise apparatus can include a biasing member control system. The biasing member control system can include a biasing member and a guide to offset a portion of the biasing member from an imaginary line between the two points, so as to tension the biasing member.
