Zusammenfassung:	An exercising device is described that permits exercising the arms and/or legs of a person, such as a wheelchair-bound person. The device has a drive shaft to which foot pedals are mounted. The foot pedals are mounted off of the axis of rotation and at an angle to the axis of rotation such that when a person's feet are strapped to the foot pedals and the drive shaft is rotated, the feet will circle the axis of rotation and will cause circular motion of the ankles. Arm exercising members are attached to the drive shaft will cause an oscillatory pivotal motion of the arm exercising members.
