A limb-exercising apparatus for coupling to a swivel chair includes a plurality of chair legs that define a chair leg base with an underside. The limb-exercising apparatus has a rigid framework that includes at least one chair coupler that couples the rigid framework with the underside, such that the rigid framework is disposed underneath the chair leg base and a relative movement between the rigid framework and the swivel chair is minimal. At least one limb-exercising unit is coupled with the rigid framework and is operative to provide movement exercise for at least one muscle group of a user's body. A force resistor is coupled with the rigid framework and with the at least one limb-exercising unit. The force resistor provides resistance to movement of the at least one limb-exercising unit. A cable couples between the at least one limb-exercising unit and the force resistor.

Exercise apparatus for retrofitting to swivel chairs on castors
According to certain aspects, the invention includes a limb-exercising system for coupling (i.e., attaching, retrofitting) to or manufacturing with the swivel chair. The limb-exercising system includes a rigid framework, at least one limb-exercising unit, a force resistor and a cable. The rigid framework includes at least one chair coupler that couples the rigid framework with the swivel chair (e.g., so that the limb-exercising apparatus is disposed underneath the chair leg base), such that the relative movement between the rigid framework and the swivel chair is minimal. The rigid framework is coupled with the limb-exercising unit and with the force resistor, which in turn is coupled with the limb-exercising unit via the cable. The limb-exercising unit is operative to provide movement exercise for at least one muscle group of the body of a user.
