Abstract
This invention provides an improved pull and press exercise appliance having two tubes which fit telescopically into each other with gripping handles at opposite ends which are interconnected by pliable elastic spring elements. For push exercises the spring elements bow outwardly when the handles are pushed together, while for pull exercises the spring elements are pulled apart midway between the handles.
